  • Thermophotovoltaic energy generation
    Patent number: 9116537
    Abstract: Inventive systems and methods for the generation of energy using thermophotovoltaic cells are described. Also described are systems and methods for selectively emitting electromagnetic radiation from an emitter for use in thermophotovoltaic energy generation systems. In at least some of the inventive energy generation systems and methods, a voltage applied to the thermophotovoltaic cell (e.g., to enhance the power produced by the cell) can be adjusted to enhance system performance. Certain embodiments of the systems and methods described herein can be used to generate energy relatively efficiently.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 25, 2015
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Ivan Celanovic, Walker Chan, Peter Bermel, Adrian Y. X. Yeng, Christopher Marton, Michael Ghebrebrhan, Mohammad Araghchini, Klavs F. Jensen, Marin Soljacic, John D. Joannopoulos, Steven G. Johnson, Robert Pilawa-Podgurski, Peter Fisher
