Offre de Stage : Numerical and Experimental Development of Solar Thermophotovoltaics

We are offering 2–3 internship positions within this research program, covering complementary aspects from modeling to experiments :
•Predictive modeling of solar TPV systems employing transparent PCMs using 1D implicit heat-transfer models coupled to TPV conversion models (MATLAB).
•Experimental demonstration of a solar TPV system with transparent thermal storage using the existing prototype operated under the 6-kW solar concentrator at PROMES.
•Radiative exchange modeling and optimization between a hot emitter and a TPV cell in a mirror-based cavity using Monte-Carlo ray tracing (Ansys Zemax OpticStudio).
