A combination solar photovoltaic heat engine energy converter is proposed. Such a system is suitable for either terrestial or space power applications. The combination system has a higher efficiency than either the photovoltaic array or the heat engine alone can attain. Advantages in concentrator and radiator area and receiver mass of the photovoltaic heat engine system over a heat-engine-only system are estimated. A mass and area comparison between the proposed Space Station organic Rankine power system and a combination PV-heat engine system is made. The critical problem for the proposed converter is the necessity for high-temperature photovoltaic array operation. Estimates of the required photovoltaic temperature are presented.
