Multiphysics Simulation for Solar Energy Applications - Archived

The design and development of solar energy infrastructure such as photovoltaic cells and solar panels involves accounting for a number of different physics phenomena as well as operating conditions. Multiphysics simulation not only helps us understand how these components perform in a real-world environment, but also allows for a more efficient R&D process and a shorter time to market.

To learn how multiphysics simulation can help when designing more robust and efficient solar energy infrastructure, tune into this webinar.

Key Discussion Points:

• Evaluating optimal operating conditions for photovoltaic cells, solar panels, and concentrator mirror systems
• Simulating solar radiation and estimating the angle and intensity
• Modeling air flow around solar panels and predicting generated stresses
• Analyzing atmospheric effects on solar panels, which helps in designing protection systems
• Modeling a solar cell at semiconductor device level; estimating design parameters, including doping profiles, refractive indices, etc.; and analyzing the output efficiency
