摘要
Recent research conducted on improving solar power generation and efficiency has led to the study and the use of new technology in three-dimensionality in achieving these tasks. This paper presents the modelling and simulation of a concentrated thermal photovoltaic system in two-dimensions and three-dimensions to investigate the effect of three-dimensional technology on concentrated thermal photovoltaic structures of similar capacity and materials. The results showed that the performances of the system modelled in three-dimensions is better than that modelled in two-dimensions in terms of the generated output power as well as the efficiency. Furthermore, the point graphs and other simulated plots were obtained on the modelled two-concentrated thermal photovoltaic system and the three-concentrated thermal photovoltaic system. The results obtained revealed that the damaging effect of temperature was much less on the three-dimensional concentrated thermal photovoltaic system than that of the two-dimensional concentrated thermal photovoltaic system.
