Experimental and numerical investigation of thermal performance of a crossed compound parabolic concentrator with PV cell (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, W., Paul, M., Sellami, N., Mallick, T., & Knox, A. (2016, July). Experimental and numerical investigation of thermal performance of a crossed compound parabolic concentrator with PV cell. Presented at 12th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Malaga, Spain

Crossed compound parabolic concentrator (CCPC) is a solar energy device used to increase the photovoltaic (PV) cell electrical power output. CCPC’s thermal and optical performance issues are equally important for a PV cell or module to work under a f...
