EMIX Uses Simulation to Optimize Photovoltaic Cells for Solar Energy
Julian Givernaud, EMIX, France
Engineers at EMIX use numerical analysis to characterize and optimize all aspects of design for the manufacture of photovoltaic-grade silicon and photovoltaic cells, including reducing the cost of silicon wafers and improving purity for photovoltaic applications. By simulating the multiscale electromagnetic and 3D continuous casting processes, the EMIX team was able to increase the efficiency of the melting process and reduce the total number of pilot furnace tests.
