ABSTRACTWe present a numerical study on effect of temperature on the performance of a waveguide luminescent solar concentrator (LSC). The purpose is to determine how changes in temperature of the ambient environment of an LSC affect device performance. The thermo-optical coefficient of the polymer waveguide is modeled using the well known Prod’homme formulation and applied in a forward Monte Carlo ray-tracing simulation. We show that the number of collected photons decreases almost linearly as the ambient temperature increases from -50 ºC to +50ºC. This behavior is associated with several competing loss mechanisms in the waveguide. For example, increases in optical confinement due to increased refractive index at low temperature are opposed by increases in cone loss (escape loss) of photons. Other competing mechanisms that exhibit temperature dependence are explained in terms of a detailed balance treatment of the LSC as a function of temperature.

Cost Reductions

Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSCs) offer a way of making Photovoltaic (PV) systems more attractive through reduced energy costs, the possibility of application in cloudy regions, and improved building integration. LSCs collect light over a large area and concentrate it, both spatially and spectrally, onto solar cells at the edges of the device, such that the total cell area required to generate a specific power is reduced. Since the solar cells constitute the more expensive component in the system, this leads to cost reductions. Unlike conventional geometric concentrators, LSCs do not require solar tracking and can collect diffuse as well as direct sunlight. The current research challenges lie in increasing the efficiency of the LSC and extending it to larger areas to make it commercially viable. In this chapter, the authors outline the mode of operation of the LSC, with particular regard to cost considerations and device geometry. They then review recent approaches aiming to increase device efficiency and, finally, introduce their versatile raytrace approach to modelling the LSC. The model is utilised here to investigate tapered LSC designs and rationalise the optimal geometry and configuration for planar LSCs.
