Abstract

Abstract: A comprehensive model for the theoretical simulation of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) has been developed and examined. It can simulate the interdependent effects of multiple dopants having two main electronic energy states, which are incorporated simultaneously into the fiber core, as well as the effect of the cladding. The available experimental results appear to confirm the accuracy of the model, which is a valuable tool for gaining insight into the behavior of LSC prototypes, since it may guide the designers at the early stages of optimization processes.
