摘要:This article presents selected methods of converting solar
energy into electricity: photovoltaic cells (PV), converters which use
photon-enhanced thermionic emission (PETE), and near-field enhanced
thermionic energy conversion systems (NETEC). PETE and NETEC
systems are innovative solutions that use the thermionic emission
phenomenon and can replace photovoltaic generation of electricity. We did
a comparative analysis of such issues as: structure, principle of operation,
working temperature and with particular emphasis - efficiency.
A comparison of these parameters is shown in the graphs and summarized
in the table. Based on the analysis, we have drawn conclusions about
previous achievements and development perspectives in the field of
converting methods.
