In this paper, the thermodynamics evaluation of an irreversible CPV-TEG cogenerating system, having Siemens SP75 PV module and commercially available Bi2Te3 TE module, has been investigated for wide solar spectrum to encompass the winter and summer solar radiation. Modeling and simulation of the hybrid system has been carried out to understand the feasibility of the system and to determine the irreversibilities...
