Abstract
The influence of the thermal contact resistance on a hybrid concentrated photovoltaic-thermoelectric generator (CPV-TEG) system has been investigated. A steady-state one-dimensional numerical model is developed. Governing equations are derived using the energy conversion law for each component in the CPV-TEG hybrid system. Power generation and efficiency of the CPV and TEG are obtained for different solar concentrations and heat transfer coefficients, provided by the heat sink, varying between 100 suns to 900 suns and 500 / to 5000 /, respectively. Thermal contact resistance as a key parameter in real applications is considered in the simulation to check the sensitivity of the output power and efficiency of the system to the thermal resistance. The results show the substantial effect of the heat sink effectiveness, solar concentration and thermal contact resistance on the performance of the hybrid system.
