Análisis de la influencia espectral en dispositivos de alta concentración fotovoltaicadesarrollo de técnicas para su evaluación bajo diferentes condiciones atmosféricas y temporales

Abstract

One of the main challenges associated with the development of high concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) technology is the study of its behaviour under real operating conditions. In particular, the study of HCPV devices’ response to the spectral variations of incident solar radiation is crucial, because this technology is more sensitive to these changes than conventional photovoltaic (PV). The aim of this doctoral thesis is to shed light on this key issue by studying the influence of spectral variations on the performance of HCPV systems. The results showed, among others conclusions, that spectral changes are not a crucial limitation for the market expansion of HCPV systems, especially considering that their conversion efficiencies are is significantly higher than those of PV technology
