AN IMPROVED THERMOPHOTOVOLTAIC APPARATUS

摘要

A TPV apparatus for generating electric power, which comprises a combustion chamber comprising a burner device generating, by means of the combustion of fuel and combustion air, hot gases providing an amount of thermal power. The TPV apparatus further comprises a converter assembly, which is associated to the combustion chamber and converts into electric power at least a portion of the amount of thermal power. The converter assembly comprises a plurality of TPV modules, positioned internally to the combustion chamber.
