<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermophotovoltaic power plant which raises the generating efficiency by suppressing an influence of a temperature distribution of a combustion gas to the minimum and/or effectively utilizing a luminescence from a combustion chamber. <P>SOLUTION: The thermophotovoltaic power plant transduces a radiating light from a light emitting substance heated by the combustion gas into electric power with a photoelectric transducer (photovoltaic element). The thermophotovoltaic power plant has the light emitting substances each having luminescent properties suitable for a combustion gas temperature of each part at a plurality of the parts on a course of the combustion gas. In this case, the photoelectric transducer having a power generation wavelength region corresponding to a wavelength of the radiating light from each light emitting substance is desirably provided oppositely to the light emitting substance of each part. In the thermophotovoltaic power plant for transducing the radiating light from the light emitting substance heated by the combustion gas into electric power by the photoelectric transducer, the combustion chamber may be constituted of the same material as the light emitting substance. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
