description: First-surface mirrors based on reflective multilayer coatings on polycarbonate substrate have been
developed and tested for use as primary optics in high concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) systems. These coatings
must provide high reflectance properties over a wavelength range between 300 and 1800 nm, where multijunction
cells are significantly active for photovoltaic (PV) generation. Additionally, a good ageing resistance to UV radiation
and high humidity/temperature conditions has to be achieved.
Silver, aluminium and Ticusil® (titanium, copper and silver alloy) films were developed and protected with either
SiO2 or Si3N4 layers on polycarbonate substrate. The multilayer mirrors were previously designed using CODE
software. Reflective and protective films were grown by DC and by reactive RF sputtering, respectively. The
durability of the developed mirrors was evaluated through damp heat and UV exposure tests.
An integrated total solar reflectance of 90% was obtained with Al/SiO2 multilayers, without significant performance
loss after damp-heat and UV tests. Highest initial specular reflectance values up to 95% and 89% were obtained for
silver-based coatings before and after damp-heat tests. In the case of aluminium, only a slight decrease less than 1%
was observed from initial 88%. The reflectance of Ticusil®/Si3N4 mirrors was initially lower than that of Al and Ag
mirrors.

description: New robust luminescent solar concentrators were produced by growing Eu(TTA)3phen -containing
parylene thin films on PMMA slabs through a novel co- deposition process. The optical measurements demonstrated
that Eu(TTA)3phen -containing parylene exhibits higher absorption than the conventional Eu(TTA)3phen films and
the luminescence peaks characteristic of Eu(TTA)3phen compound. This indicates that the Eu complex is not
affected by the matrix interaction thus maintaining its extremely large Stokes shift. Moreover the parylene matrix
improves the luminescence intensity of the films: in fact, under the same absorption these films show a luminescence
intensity more than two times higher than standard Eu(TTA)3phen ones. The current-voltage (I-V) measurements
show that the Eu(TTA)3phen -containing parylene LSCs produce a current density more than twice as high as
conventional Eu(TTA)3phen ones with the same Eu(TTA)3phen quantity and that their efficiency decreases more
than ten times slower than organic-based LSCs at increasing illuminating area, thus highlighting the feasibility of
developing large size LSCs.

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 606-611
description: In this contribution we report on a new module prototype of high concentrator photovoltaic (HCPV).
The optical design of the presented prototype is based on two optical elements: high quality Fresnel lenses and
aluminum homogenizers, while for the realisation of the photovoltaic receiver a triple junction solar cell has been
used. The whole device has been designed and developed as a cost effective product providing at the same time high
value for the output power. Measurements aimed at determining electrical characteristics have been performed both
on single concentrator cells and on the module realised by connecting together four single photovoltaic receivers.
Thermographic measurements have been carried out in order to determine the zones where heating effects have
occurred during the operating conditions. The paper purpose is to provide an overall presentation and accurate
description of the final version of HCPV new module prototype that is the result of the collaboration of Italian
National Institute for Astrophysics of Cagliari, Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of University of
Cagliari and Sardegna Ricerche Photovoltaic Laboratory.

description: Access to electricity is a matter of course to most people on earth. Still there are far too many people that
do not have the possibility to use electricity either privately or for business. Renewable energy based mini-grids can be a
solution for electrifying rural regions. The past has shown that mini-grids can be established through grants but this is no
option for the large majority of the 1.3 billion people still not electrified. For guaranteeing sustainable energy supply,
business models have to be developed that are profitable for all players involved. This paper demonstrates reasons for
failure of mini-grid projects and shows key elements for success of sustainable business models for renewable energy
based mini-grids. Finally two examples for existing best practice models are presented: KAÏTO Energie and INENSUS.

description: RES Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable energy sources sets an overall binding target of
supplying 20% of European Union (EU)’s final energy consumption from renewable energy sources by 2020 with binding
national targets for each Member State. Details of how these targets will be achieved in each Member State are described in
National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs). High RES scenario presented in Energy Roadmap 2050 by European
Commission (EC) foresees that 75% of the gross final energy can be supplied from renewable energy sources by 2050. This
challenging target calls for a major effort to increase the number of qualified workers in the market able to cover the demand for
high quality RES installations in the upcoming years. The substantial need for training and qualification is acknowledged in the
RES Directive, Article 14(3), which includes an obligation on the Member States to make provision for the training and
certification of installers of RES. This effort is also supported by actions such as the EC initiative Build Up Skills, launched by
the Commission in 2011, which aims to unite forces to increase the number of qualified workforce by promoting training and
qualification in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy in the building sector in Europe.

description: In this paper, a systematic interconnection optimization method for dense-array concentrator
photovoltaic system is presented. By analyzing all possible array configurations, it is possible to determine the most
optimal dense-array configuration. The proposed fast-prediction method is very useful as a preliminary assessment
because it is systematic, simple and reasonably accurate. As a case-study, I-V curve predictions are simulated for a
non-imaging planar concentrator prototype to find all possible array configurations. From the results, the
configuration which yields the highest output power is determined. A dense-array based on the best configuration is
then simulated with detail using Matlab modeling. The acquired I-V curve from Matlab was found to closely
resemble the simulated FPM I-V curve predictions, and output power variation is only 1.88%

description: A concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) system concentrates solar radiation onto a photovoltaic (PV) cell
using optics to replace the high cost of PV cell with inexpensive concentrator material. Parabolic dish concentrators
(PDC) offer the highest optical and thermal efficiencies of all the current concentrator options. True paraboloidal
geometry results in a point focus PDC while a non-ideal PDC produces a spatially distributed image at the focal plane. A
simple and novel method is devised to design a non-ideal PDC to achieve a spatially distributed focus for a flat target
plane for use in CPV systems. A basic geometrical parabolic curve construction method was modified to distribute the
solar flux without geometrical power loss and a non-ideal PDC was built for a geometrical concentration ratio of 100.
The design of the PDC was analysed by a ray tracing method employing principles and laws of geometrical optics. An
analytical investigation of the built PDC enabled calculation of an energy efficiency of 59%. The resulting energy
concentration ratio shows a beam uniformity of 72.3% across the cell. A parametrical analysis was also performed by
varying the PDC surface reflectivity and the PDC geometry to predict a maximum energy efficiency of 85.5% and a
uniform beam profile across the cell without geometrical power loss.

description: We present three-dimensional simulations with nested meshes of the dynamics of the gas around a Jupiter mass planet with the JUPITER and FARGOCA codes. We implemented a radiative transfer module into the JUPITER code to account for realistic heating and cooling of the gas. We focus on the circumplanetary gas flow, determining its characteristics at very high resolution ($80\%$ of Jupiter's diameter). In our nominal simulation where the temperature evolves freely by the radiative module and reaches 13000 K at the planet, a circumplanetary envelope was formed filling the entire Roche-lobe. Because of our equation of state is simplified and probably overestimates the temperature, we also performed simulations with limited maximal temperatures in the planet region (1000 K, 1500 K, and 2000 K). In these fixed temperature cases circumplanetary disks (CPDs) were formed. This suggests that the capability to form a circumplanetary disk is not simply linked to the mass of the planet and its ability to open a gap. Instead, the gas temperature at the planet's location, which depends on its accretion history, plays also fundamental role. The CPDs in the simulations are hot and cooling very slowly, they have very steep temperature and density profiles, and are strongly sub-Keplerian. Moreover, the CPDs are fed by a strong vertical influx, which shocks on the CPD surfaces creating a hot and luminous shock-front. In contrast, the pressure supported circumplanetary envelope is characterized by internal convection and almost stalled rotation.

description: The semiconducting p-n junction is a simple device structure with great relevance for electronic and optoelectronic applications. The successful integration of low-dimensional materials in electronic circuits has opened the way forward for producing gate-tunable p-n junctions. In that context, here we present an organic (Cu-phthalocyanine)-2D layered material (MoS2) hybrid p-n junction with both gate-tunable diode characteristics and photovoltaic effect. Our proof-of-principle devices show multifunctional properties with diode rectifying factors of up to 10^4, while under light exposure they exhibit photoresponse with a measured external quantum efficiency of ~ 11 %. As for their photovoltaic properties, we found open circuit voltages of up to 0.6 V and optical-to-electrical power conversion efficiency of 0.7 %. The extended catalogue of known organic semiconductors and two-dimensional materials offer the prospect for tailoring the properties and the performance of the resulting devices, making organic-2D p-n junctions promising candidates for future technological applications.

description: Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) manufacture requires different materials and process techniques to
those used for 1SUN modules. Films and adhesives used in CPV module production must be able to withstand high
temperatures. CPV modules are currently being developed using state-of-the-art encapsulants, front sheets, back
sheets, and integral module components. In this paper, we present proof of concept CPV modules manufactured using
Laser Groove Buried Contact (LGBC) concentrator cells (20X), using a novel module lay-up incorporating thermally
conductive tape, aluminium back sheet, EVA and glass. Advanced proof of concept modules are produced using front
encapsulants such as Ionomer, Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). The proof of
concept modules were electrically measured under 1 SUN conditions and showed a lower Isc than expected.
Subsequent electroluminescence revealed cell damage. Cell breakage was minimised by modifying the soldering and
lamination processes. Ionomer appeared to be a promising alternative encapsulant to EVA for advanced proof of
concept modules, but would require further process optimisation. The techniques developed throughout the TSB
funded DEFCON project are transferable to other module manufacturing specialities from standard flat plate 1SUN to
Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSC).

In this paper we study the deformation theory of nearly Kähler manifolds, showing that it is obstructed in general. More precisely, we show that the infinitesimal deformations of the homogeneous nearly Kähler structure on the flag manifold are all obstructed to second order.

description: With continuously increasing penetration of variable generation, the power system needs are changing
and so is the need for ancillary services (AS). In time of high generation, PV and wind will be required to participate
in AS provision. In this matter, the integration of forecasting confidence intervals into system operation planning is a
much more relevant factor than the natural variability itself. This paper introduces a new straightforward approach to
generate day-ahead confidence intervals, adjust them to intraday, and adapt this approach to the provision of ancillary
services. As a result, the authors quantify the costs of AS provision by PV. The cost is expressed as unused PV
generation due to curtailment which is needed to ensure the provision of upward reserve services with a certainty that
is acceptable for the TSO. Furthermore, the paper quantifies how far the provider of ancillary services can benefit
from larger sizes and wider spreads of its portfolios and how far the reduction of lead contracting times of the AS can
reduce costs of unused electricity. Results on the loss due to the contracted reserve power are crucial to determine the
competitiveness of PV as an AS provider, therefore the authors make several recommendations on the needed market
changes to achieve this. The work presented in this paper has been conducted in the framework of the European
funded project, REserviceS.

description: Purpose: Learning to read is a complex, multifaceted process that relies on several speech and language–related subskills. Individual differences in word reading outcomes are indicated among children with inaccurate speech sound productions, with some of these children developing later reading difficulties. There are inconsistent reports as to whether phonological deficits and/or weaknesses in oral language explain these subsequent reading difficulties. Thus, it remains unclear how variability in speech production accuracy in early childhood may impact reading development. Therefore, the present longitudinal study seeks to clarify the relation between speech sound production accuracy in kindergarten and subsequent reading outcomes with a focus on additional potential mediating factors.Method: Speech accuracy, core preliteracy skills (phonological awareness, rapid naming, and letter–name knowledge), and additional potential mediators (phonological memory and oral language abilities) were characterized at the start of formal reading instruction. Word reading, decoding, reading fluency, and comprehension were assessed at the end of second grade. Mediation analyses were conducted to examine factors that mediate the relation between speech accuracy in kindergarten and subsequent reading outcomes.Results: Initial associations between early speech sound production accuracy and subsequent reading outcomes were indicated; however, mediation effects of preliteracy skills (phonological awareness and letter–name knowledge) were identified for word reading, decoding, and reading fluency outcomes. For reading comprehension, mediation effects of preliteracy and vocabulary skills were observed.Conclusions: The relation between speech sound production accuracy and subsequent word reading, decoding, reading fluency, and comprehension was observed to be mediated by preliteracy skills, specifically phonological awareness and letter–name knowledge. For reading comprehension only, vocabulary knowledge were of additional importance.Supplemental Material S1. Supplemental information.Mues, M., Zuk, J., Norton, E. S., Gabrieli, J. D. E., Hogan. T.

precursors and hydrides in an industrial MOVPE-reactor. From DLTS measurements of samples with different Alcontents,
several defect levels could be revealed in addition to the inevitable DX-centres. The concentration levels of
the former ones are in the order of 1013 to 1014 cm-3. The emission activation energies and estimated capture cross

Each of the sub-dynamics is shown to be brought into an exactly solvable form by appropriately engineering the magnetic fields and thus we obtain an exact time evolution of the compound system. Several physically relevant and interesting quantities are evaluated exactly to disclose intriguing phenomena in such a system.

description: GaAs/GaInNAs based heterojunction solar cells were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The test
(p)GaAs/(i)GaInNAs/(n)GaAs p-i-n solar cells with 0.9 μm GaInNAs layer reach the value of open circuit voltage of
0.4 V (1 sun AM1.5G) and quantum efficiency more than 0.75 at wavelength of 940 nm (with zero reflection losses) that
corresponds to the short circuit current value of 26.58 mA/cm2 (100 mW/cm2 AM1.5G). High open circuit voltage value
demonstrates a high potential of this structure for use as a 1 eV band gap sub cell in four-junction solar cells. Theoretical
model of the GaAs/GaInNAs heterostructures was developed using computer simulation, which allows to reproduce well
the experimental data. The value of minority carrier lifetime (2.5×10-10 s) and a range of electron and hole mobility
(50…100 cm2V-1s-1) for (i)GaInNAs layer were estimated from theoretical analysis. The behavior of the quantum

Terrestrial Concentrator Systems

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 559-565
description: Concentrating photovoltaic systems (CPVs) are sensitive to a correct alignment with current sun
position because of the optical principle at the basis of their operation; indeed, the higher the concentration factor, the
more sensitive they are. Therefore, solar trackers and high-quality focusing optics are used to maximize the cells’
exposure to sun disk’s radiation. This increases costs, so that viability of CPV systems strongly depends on the
location and on high quality information or model of the irradiance conditions. For this purpose, pyrheliometers (or,
sometimes, collimated isotype cells) are used to acquire on-site data for direct normal irradiance, but they are not
perfectly suitable for CPVs because they have a wider field of view (5°) and so they overestimate the actual
irradiance seen by the concentrating system. As an alternative, a collimated sun-scanning setup with an aperture angle
of 0.13° has been developed for measuring the solar and the circumsolar radiation distributions with high spatial
resolution. In fact it has an angular positioning accuracy of ±0.002° and an angular pointing precision of ±0.007°. It is
also intended to provide a simple but effective tool for building up a consistent database of local sunshapes.

description: Assortativity was first introduced by Newman and has been extensively studied and applied to many real world networked systems since then. Assortativity is a graph metrics and describes the tendency of high degree nodes to be directly connected to high degree nodes and low degree nodes to low degree nodes. It can be interpreted as a first order measure of the connection between nodes, i.e. the first autocorrelation of the degree-degree vector. Even though assortativity has been used so extensively, to the author's knowledge, no attempt has been made to extend it theoretically. This is the scope of our paper. We will introduce higher order assortativity by extending the Newman index based on a suitable choice of the matrix driving the connections. Higher order assortativity will be defined for paths, shortest paths, random walks of a given time length, connecting any couple of nodes. The Newman assortativity is achieved for each of these measures when the matrix is the adjacency matrix, or, in other words, the correlation is of order 1. Our higher order assortativity indexes can be used for describing a variety of real networks, help discriminating networks having the same Newman index and may reveal new topological network features.

description: Purpose: Using a novel parent report measure, this study investigated whether asking parents to rate their certainty when reporting on child vocabulary skills provided additional insight into parent report and emerging language abilities in young autistic children. Specifically, we investigated whether parent certainty varied based on whether the child was reported to understand, understand and say, or neither understand nor say the word and whether standardized measures of expressive and receptive language abilities and/or autistic traits predicted parent certainty. Lastly, we investigated whether certainty was associated with inconsistency in parent report of child word knowledge. Method: Twenty-one parents and their autistic children ages 2–5 years participated. One parent per child completed the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventories (MCDI) Words and Gestures form and a custom vocabulary checklist including 24 object nouns from the MCDI. Within the custom form, parents indicated whether their child understood, understood and said, or neither understood nor said 24 target nouns and reported how certain they were about their responses using a 5-point scale. Expressive language, receptive language, and autistic traits were measured via direct assessment using standardized measures. Results: Parent certainty varied widely and was higher for words the parents reported the children understood and said compared to that for words children either understood or neither understood nor said. Certainty ratings were higher when a child had higher standardized receptive and expressive language scores. Lastly, parent certainty was associated with reporting consistency, clarifying previous findings of inconsistencies in parent report of child vocabulary. Conclusion: Findings from this study indicate that measuring parent certainty provides critical information when assessing early vocabulary skills in autistic children. Supplemental Material S1.

PV Applications without a Centralised Grid

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4477-4483
description: RSE experience on field has shown that Renewable Energy (RE) power plants can conveniently supply
electricity to domestic and small commercial loads in remote communities not yet connected to the electric grid, with
satisfying reliability. In this context, an experimental work has been started some years ago in order to analyze,
develop and verify new concepts for RE hybrid plant, to be used for electrification of isolated communities. A hybrid
renewable energy power plant (14,2 kWp PV generator, 10 kVA wind generator, 169 kWh lead-acid batteries, 22
kVA emergency Diesel generator, 22 kW inverters) has been installed by RSE in 2004, which is currently effectively
supplying electricity to 15 family houses of the remote communities of Bresciadega and Dosselli in Val Codera (SO,
Italy), sited at 1200 m asl and unreachable by road. The plant has been monitored since the installation time and its
operating data have been collected by RSE and continuously analyzed to check the status of the plant and its
components, and to detect possible faults. Experimental data of a Renewable Energy power plant, operating for a
long time in real condition of remote community electrification, are giving significant information on the proper
design and management of such power plants. Moreover a techno-economic analysis was carried out by reviewing
and elaborating real plant operational data through a hybrid power plant simulation software (HOMER®), in order to
optimize the power plant and its components.

description: A new high-intensity solar simulator for testing multi-junction photovoltaic cells has been installed at
the JRC. The irradiance characteristics of this simulator in terms of spatial distribution, spectral content and intensity
levels needed to be determined. To date there is no standard protocol for determining the performance specifications
of such systems. This paper presents a set of methodologies that are being developed to perform such an assessment.
To determine the spatial homogeneity of the system, a programmable x-y stage has been used to produce a map of
irradiance intensity over the test plane. A set of CCD-based spectroradiometers has been used to take rapid
measurements of the spectrum at different concentration levels and instants along the flash pulse, and the current
densities of different photovoltaic devices for each set of spectra have been compared. The results show that there is a
significant change in current mismatch between devices, and that the use of mismatched reference devices will
introduce uncertainties of a few percent when used to determine concentration levels within the simulator.

description: We study a three loop induced neutrino mass model with exotic vector-like isospin doublet leptons which contain a dark matter candidate. Then we explore lepton flavor violations, and dark matter physics in co-annihilation system. In this paper the nearly degenerate Majorana fermion dark matter can naturally be achieved at the two loop level, while the mass splitting can be larger than ${\cal O}$(200) keV which is required from the constraint of the direct detection search with spin independent inelastic scattering through $Z$ boson portal. As a result a monochromatic photon excess, its threshold energy is greater than ${\cal O}$(200) keV, is predicted in our model that could be measured through indirect detection experiments such as INTEGRAL.

Search for metastable heavy charged particles with large ionization energy loss in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV using the ATLAS experiment

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: This paper presents a search for massive charged long-lived particles produced in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV at the LHC using the ATLAS experiment. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb$^{-1}$. Many extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of massive charged long-lived particles, such as $R$-hadrons. These massive particles are expected to be produced with a velocity significantly below the speed of light, and therefore to have a specific ionization higher than any Standard Model particle of unit charge at high momenta. The Pixel subsystem of the ATLAS detector is used to measure the ionization energy loss of reconstructed charged particles and to search for such highly ionizing particles. The search presented here has much greater sensitivity than a similar search performed using the ATLAS detector in the $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV dataset, thanks to the increase in expected signal cross-section due to the higher center-of-mass energy of collisions, to an upgraded detector with a new silicon layer close to the interaction point, and to analysis improvements. No significant deviation from Standard Model background expectations is observed, and lifetime-dependent upper limits on $R$-hadron production cross-sections and masses are set. Gluino $R$-hadrons with lifetimes above 0.4 ns and decaying to $q\bar{q}$ plus a 100 GeV neutralino are excluded at the 95% confidence level, with lower mass limit ranging between 740 GeV and 1590 GeV. In the case of stable $R$-hadrons the lower mass limit at the 95% confidence level is 1570 GeV.
