TY - THES AB - Solar energy is an important renewable energy and plays a major role in the energy transition. Herein, photovoltaics is a growing field that promises to establish solar energy harvesting both in large-scale power plants as well as in urban spaces and shows a trend of increasing production capacity and speed, and decreasing costs. However, mastering the energy transition within a few decades demands a further boost in production speed. A way to achieve such a boost is concentrated photovoltaics (CPV): by placing a solar cell in the focus of a low-cost solar concentrator, the cells required area size can be reduced by the concentration factor of the solar concentrator. However, CPV needs sun trackers to mechanically adjust the solar concentrator to the sun.- AU - Meudt, Maik CY - Wuppertal DA - 2022 DO - 10.25926/BUW/0-44 DP - Bergische Universität Wuppertal LA - eng N1 - Tag der Verteidigung: 06.07.2022 N1 - Gesehen am 26.07.2023 N1 - Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Dissertation, 2022 PB - Veröffentlichungen der Universität PY - 2023 SP - 1 Online-Ressource (iv, 173 Seiten) T2 - Fakultät für Elektrotechnik, Informationstechnik und Medientechnik TI - Passive and active waveguide systems for solar concentrators UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:468-2-448 Y2 - 2024-11-21T15:04:46 ER -
