description: Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) collectors are multi-energy components that convert solar radiation into both
electricity and heat. In fact, PVT collectors make possible use of the large amount of solar energy “wasted” in PV
modules as usable heat in a thermal system. Therefore, PVT collectors represent in principle one of the most efficient
ways to use solar energy (cogeneration effects). However, such a concept still faces various barriers due to the multidisciplinary
challenges involved (material, semi-conductors, and thermal conductivity) and to the complexity of the
technical requirements implied in such concepts. The electrical energy yield of a PV module depends on the
temperature behaviour of the solar cell technology. In a PVT collector, the fluid in the heat exchanger may reduce the
solar cells temperature and so increase the electrical energy yield of the PV module.
In this study, a so-called "unglazed PVT collector" - which is essentially a PV module with a heat exchanger
plate on its back side - is investigated by means of indoor and outdoor measurements at two different test institutes:
SUPSI, specialized on PV testing and SPF, specialized on thermal collector testing.

description: In this work we propose a new diagnostic to segregate cool core (CC) clusters from non-cool core (NCC) clusters by studying the two-dimensional power spectra of the X-ray images observed with the Chandra X-ray observatory. Our sample contains 41 members ($z=0.01\sim 0.54$), which are selected from the Chandra archive when a high photon count, an adequate angular resolution, a relatively complete detector coverage, and coincident CC-NCC classifications derived with three traditional diagnostics are simultaneously guaranteed. We find that in the log-log space the derived image power spectra can be well represented by a constant model component at large wavenumbers, while at small wavenumbers a power excess beyond the constant component appears in all clusters, with a clear tendency that the excess is stronger in CC clusters. By introducing a new CC diagnostic parameter, i.e., the power excess index (PEI), we classify the clusters in our sample and compare the results with those obtained with three traditional CC diagnostics. We find that the results agree with each other very well. By calculating the PEI values of the simulated clusters, we find that the new diagnostic works well at redshifts up to 0.5 for intermediately sized and massive clusters with a typical Chandra or XMM pointing observation. The new CC diagnostic has several advantages over its counterparts, e.g., it is free of the effects of the commonly seen centroid shift of the X-ray halo caused by merger event, and the corresponding calculation is straightforward, almost irrelevant to the complicated spectral analysis.

PV as Building Material Component (focus on technical issues)

description: 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3549-3554
description: A complete characterisation of PV modules for building integration (BIPV) is needed in order to know
their influence on the building’s global energy balance. In the case of transparent building envelopes it is particularly
important to perform an optical and thermal characterization of the PV modules that would be integrated in them.
This paper addresses the optical characterization of some commercial thin-film PV modules based on amorphous
silicon (a-Si) technology having different degrees of transparency, suitable for building integration in façades. The
approach is based on the measurement of the spectral UV/Vis/NIR reflectance and transmittance of the different
considered samples, both at normal incidence and as a function of the angle of incidence. With the obtained results,
the total and zoned UV, visible and NIR transmission and reflection, and some other characteristic parameters, have
been calculated, enabling a more precise characterization of the PV modules integrated in façades and the subsequent
evaluation of their impact over the electrical, thermal and lighting performance in a building.

description: Self-sufficiency of systems with photovoltaic (PV) energy production gets more and more important.
Demand side management with the use of heat pump and thermal energy storage has proven to be an efficient and
effective means for increasing the PV self-consumption ratio [1, 2]. Accurate prediction of the self-consumption and
the resulting self-sufficiency quota requires a comprehensive simulation including heat pump characteristics, thermal
balance of the building and hot water demand profiles. These simulations are usually elaborate and time consuming.
This work presents a fast but reliable estimate of the system’s PV self-consumption potential. It is based on the wellknown
tool Sunny Design [3], which has been extended by the capability to calculate the building and hot water
energy demand, and applying heat pump model with realistic characteristic curves. The proposed algorithm is capable
of including battery storage and advanced controllers as future extensions. The algorithm is in accordance with the
physics-based simulation tool Polysun which includes device physics as well as controller details with a tight
coupling between the electrical and the thermal part of the system [4]. The newly introduced model parameters in
Sunny Design are calibrated and validated with the detailed Polysun model.

description: Diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic procedures for patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDoCs) vary signifcantly across countries and clinical settings, likely due to organizational factors (e.g., research vs. non-academic hospitals), expertise and availability of resources (e.g., fnancial and human). Two international guidelines, one from the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) and one from the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) in collaboration with the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) and the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), were developed to facilitate consistent practice among professionals working with this challenging patient population. While the recommendations of both guidelines agree in principle, it remains an open issue how to implement them into clinical practice in the care pathway for patients with pDoCs. We conducted an online survey to explore health professional clinical practices related to the management of patients with pDoCs, and compare said practices with selected recommendations from both the guidelines. The survey revealed that while some recommendations are being followed, others are not and/or may require more honing/specifcity to enhance their clinical utility. Particular attention should be given to the implementation of a multimodal assessment of residual consciousness, to the detection and treatment of pain, and to the impact of restrictions imposed by COVID-19 pandemics on the involvement of patients’ families/representatives.

description: In preparation for future space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, should the modelling effort focus on high-precision vacuum templates or on the astrophysical environment of the sources? We perform a systematic comparison of the phase contributions caused by 1) known environmental effects in both gaseous and stellar matter backgrounds, or 2) high-order post-Newtonian {(PN)} terms in the evolution of mHz GW sources {during the inspiral stage of massive binaries}. We use the accuracy of currently available analytical waveform models as a benchmark {value, finding} the following trends: the largest unmodelled phase contributions are likely environmental rather than PN for binaries lighter than $\sim 10^7/(1+z)^2$~M$_{\odot}$, where $z$ is the redshift. Binaries heavier than $\sim 10^8/(1+z)$~M$_{\odot}$ do not require more accurate {inspiral} waveforms due to low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). For high-SNR sources, environmental {phase contributions} are relevant at low redshift, while high-order vacuum templates are required at $z > 4$. Led by these findings, we argue that including environmental effects in waveform models should be prioritised in order to maximize the science yield of future mHz detectors.

description: We introduce a general framework for the construction of completely positive dynamical evolutions in the presence of system-environment initial correlations. The construction relies upon commutativity of the compatibility domain obtained by considering the marginals with respect to the environmental degrees of freedom of the considered class of correlated states. Our approach allows to consider states whose discord is not necessarily zero and explicitly show the non-uniqueness of the completely positive extensions of the obtained dynamical map outside the compatibility domain. The relevance of such maps for the treatment of open quantum system dynamics is discussed and connection to previous literature is critically assessed.

Then we analyze the quantum-field-theory formalism used to describe an attractive $D$-dimensional Fermi gas taking into account Gaussian fluctuations. Finally, we apply this formalism to obtain a reliable equation of state of the 2D system at low temperaratures in the BEC regime of the crossover by performing a meaningful dimensional regularization of the divergent zero-point energy of collective bosonic excitations.

description: The distribution of gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies of all types is poorly constrained. Foreground CGMs contribute an extra amount to the dispersion measure (DM) of fast radio bursts (FRB). We measure this DM excess for the CGMs of $10^{11}-10^{13}\ M_\odot$ halos using the CHIME/FRB first data release, a halo mass range that is challenging to probe in any other way. Because of the uncertainty in the FRBs' angular coordinates, only for nearby galaxies is the localization sufficient to confidently associate them with intersecting any foreground halo. Thus we stack on galaxies within 80 Mpc, optimizing the stacking scheme to approximately minimize the stack's variance and marginalize over uncertainties in FRB locations. The sample has 20-30 FRBs intersecting halos with masses of $10^{11}-10^{12}\ M_\odot$ and also of $10^{12}-10^{13}\ M_\odot$, and these intersections allow a marginal $1-2\,σ$ detection of the DM excess in both mass bins. The $10^{11}-10^{12}\ M_\odot$ halos bin also shows a DM excess at 1-2 virial radii. By comparing data with different models for the CGM gas profile, we find that all models are favored by the data up to 2-$σ$ level compared to the null hypothesis of no DM excess. With 2000-3000 more bursts from a future CHIME data release, we project a 4-$σ$ detection of the CGM. Distinguishing between viable CGM models by stacking FRBs with CHIME-like localization would require tens of thousands of bursts.

description: Energy load profiles for combined heat and power in households are provided by the German guideline
VDI 4655 but no standardized profiles for photovoltaic (PV)-energy are available so far. The objective of this paper is to
provide PV profiles which can be used with load profiles of VDI 4655 for time-lapse tests and testing these in a hardware
scenario. Using these PV profiles, a power to heat system is tested and compared to a normal heating system. Combining
the German temperature climate zones of VDI 4655 with the irradiation climate zones of DIN V 4180-6 new climate
zones were created. Twelve PV profiles from field measurements are chosen as reference days. The test system consists
of a heater unit supplying heat to a heat exchanger and to a thermal buffer storage for domestic hot water (DHW).
Supporting the heating unit a heating rod, powered by PV only, is integrated in the buffer storage in the power to heat
test.

description: When applying photovoltaic (PV) modules containing glass in the building envelope, the requirements on construction safety and reliability are particularly high. To prove the mechanical resistance and stability of constructions according to the Eurocode system, the structural engineer needs mechanical performance characteristics of all construction products used. As the mechanical performance of PV modules is not adequately characterized up to now, individual approvals are still needed in various European countries. This article presents experimental research work on glass based PV modules aiming to analyze whether the integration of various types of PV cells into glass products essentially changes the material characteristics defined in the harmonized product standards. The experiments focused on two aspects: the bending strength of PV thin-film coated glass panes compared to the uncoated basic float glass product and the post-breakage behavior of laminated glass-glass PV modules compared to laminated safety glass. The standardized four point bending test equipment was modified to hold full-size thin-film PV samples and has proved suitable to determine these samples’ bending strength. The integration of PV cells was observed to improve the residual strength of laminated safety glass after breakage.

description: Increasing energy prices and declining feed-in compensation leads to increasing profitability of PVstorage
systems. To improve the grid compatibility of the increasing number of PV systems a grid injection cap for
private PV systems is under discussion or being requested by grid codes in Germany. Increasing amount of power
generation from fluctuating sources finally requires load leveling to match generation and load. The utilization of
storage and variable loads of private households, combined via smart grid to a virtual power plant and incited through
variable tariffs, can be an addition to large-scale storage facilities. This paper analyses several energy management
approaches including a model predictive control scheme and compares their potential to achieve the objectives of
maintaining high self-consumption levels (for profitability to the owner) and grid friendly power injection. In
addition, the performance of a tariff controlled energy management system is analyzed to increase use of renewable
energy at the time it is produced.

description: In this paper we present a method of scintillation detector energy calibration using the gamma-rays. The technique is based on the Compton scattering of gamma-rays in a scintillation detector and subsequent photoelectric absorption of the scattered photon in the Ge-detector. The novelty of this method is that the source of gamma rays, the germanium and scintillation detectors are immediately arranged adjacent to each other. The method presents an effective solution for the detectors consisting of a low atomic number materials, when the ratio between Compton effect and photoelectric absorption is large and the mean path of gamma-rays is comparable to the size of the detector. The technique can be used for the precision measurements of the scintillator light yield dependence on the electron energy.

description: The mechanical properties of a thin, planar material, perfused by an embedded flow network, can be changed locally and globally by the fluid transport and storage, resulting in small or large-scale deformation, such as out-of-plane buckling. Fluid absorption and storage eventually cause the material to locally swell. Different parts can hydrate and swell unevenly, prompting a differential expansion of the surface. In order to computationally study the hydraulically induced differential swelling and buckling of such a membrane, we develop a network model that describes both the membrane shape and fluid movement, coupling mechanics with hydrodynamics. We simulate the time-dependent fluid distribution in the flow network based on a spatially explicit resistor network model with local fluid-storage capacitance. The shape of the surface is modeled by a spring network produced by a tethered mesh discretization, in which local bond rest lengths are adjusted instantaneously according to associated local fluid content in the capacitors in a quasi-static way. We investigate the effects of various designs of the flow network, including overall hydraulic traits (resistance and capacitance) and hierarchical architecture (arrangement of major and minor veins), on the specific dynamics of membrane shape transformation. To quantify these effects, we explore the correlation between local Gaussian curvature and relative stored fluid content in each hierarchy by using linear regression, which reveals that stronger correlations could be induced by less densely connected major veins. This flow-controlled mechanism of shape transformation was inspired by the blooming of flowers through the unfolding of petals. It can potentially offer insights for other reversible motions observed in plants induced by differential turgor and water transport through the xylem vessels, as well as engineering applications.

description: The recent developments in digital world have opened up the gates to be more socially included, in which the digitally and socially included people can reap surplus value from the information shared over digital media. The results from GLM and SEM shows that digital inclusion and social inclusion are interlinked and together they can reap the surplus value from the information sharing, which stems from nudging people towards inclusion. Technological advancements in the age of information technology have spurred the prospects to direct our perceptions and behaviors towards enabling people to be more productive.  Thus, at first, the study tries to look for behavioral determinants of social and digital inclusion. Latter, based upon the significant behavioral determinant, the study aims to suggest nudges in making people more socially and digitally inclusive. Addressing the rapidly developing society, this study is an attempt to better understand the behaviors of people from a wide sample of fifty-three countries, that can make them socially or digitally inclusive, leading to the potentially a more contributing society. It is proposed that nudges including boomerang effect, conformity , loss aversion , exogenous factors, motivation , default nudges, framing , peer group and information, feedback  and spot light can help in achieving education, which will ultimately help in achieving high social and digital. Furthermore incentives, conformity and spot light are some of the nudges that can help people get away with negative perceptions of technological uses and can latter catalyze digital inclusion. Similarly, framing nudges can help in achieving digital privacy. Last but not the least, nudges such as feeling the need, motivation as nudge and self-confidence can make people more productive and creative and thus socio-digitally inclusive.

description: Net Zero Energy Buildings (NetZEBs) design has become a crucial topic of research in recent years.
Due to its complexity, discussion has been done on methodological criteria useful to define and assess NetZEBs
(building system boundary, conversion factors, energy balance, interaction with the grid, monitoring, etc.), mainly
with the engineering approach, and a number of case studies worldwide have been investigated. In regard to
Photovoltaics’ (PV) design, research demonstrated that: PV is an indispensable technology for meeting the net zero
energy target; 2: meeting the target of the net zero energy balance at the architectural scale (by using the only
surfaces of the building envelope to place renewables) is very difficult and therefore 3. an extension of the balance
boundary to a wider scale is needed. That is: the concept of NetZEB should be advanced towards the one of Net Zero
Energy Community (NetZEC).
In view of such an enlargement of the design domain, this paper investigates architectural and landscape design
options (spatial features and outdoor thermal comfort considerations) for PV, based on the analysis of case studies
collected and assessed in the framework of the International Energy Agency (IEA) SHC-EBC Task 40-Annex 52 Net
Zero Energy Solar Buildings. Considering that the traditional understanding of the use of PV in buildings, mainly
rooted in technological and morphological considerations, is not sufficient to describe all the issues emerging from
this analysis, this paper is a contribution for setting a new cognitive framework in view of PV design for NetZECs.

description: The Alfvén wave (AW) is the most common fluctuation present within the emitted solar wind from the Sun. Moreover, the interaction between interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) and high-speed stream (HSS) has been observed on several occasions. However, can such interaction generate an AW? What will be the nature of AW in such a scenario remains an open question. To answer it, we have investigated an ICME-HSS interaction event observed on 21st October 1999 at 1 AU by Wind spacecraft. We have used the Walén test to identify AW and estimated Elsasser variables to find the characteristics of the AWs. We explicitly find that ICME were dominant with Sunward AWs, whereas the trailing HSS has strong anti-Sunward AW. We suggest that the ICME-HSS interaction deforms the MC of the ICME, resulting in the AWs inside the MC. In addition, the existence of reconnection within the ICME early stage can also be the leading cause of the origin of AW within it.

description: Lattice data structures are space efficient and cache-suitable data structures. The basic searching, insertion, and deletion operations are of time complexity $O(\sqrt{N})$. We give a jump searching algorithm of time complexity $O(J(L)\log(N))$, where $J(L)$ is the jump factor of the lattice. $J(L)$ approaches $4$ when the degree of sortedness of the lattice approaches $\sqrt{N}$. A sorting procedure of time complexity $O(\sqrt{N})$ that can be used, during the system idle time, to increase the degree of sortedness of the lattice is given.

description: The recently discovered high energy emission from the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi by Fermi-LAT ($>$ 100 MeV), H.E.S.S. and MAGIC ($>$ 100 GeV), hints towards a possible hadronic origin of this radiation component. From the observed high energy photon flux we derive the expected number of neutrino events that could be detected by present and future neutrino telescopes in the different energy ranges. We find that both hadronic and leptonic processes remain valid interpretations for this $ \ gamma $ emission. Preliminary estimates indicate that with the "next-generation" instrument IceCube-Gen2, the expected number of neutrino detections from Galactic novae is of the order of $\sim $ once per decade. Given the current uncertainties in the frequency of the occurrence of nova outbursts, the detection rate may possibly increase to up to once every $\sim $ three years.

description: A challenge in the photovoltaic (PV) industry is to increase the efficiency of the devices in ways that can reduce manufacturing costs. One such pathway is using materials that improve the device’s performance while simplifying the fabrication process and making it safer. Here, we evaluate two new precursors that potentially could both improve the efficiency of solar cells and reduce the risks associated with the toxic- and explosive-feedstock gases used in the Thin Film Silicon PV industry; viz., N-Trimethylborazine (TMBz) and Hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) TMBz is examined in the context of an alternative to conventional p-type dopants, like Diborane (B2H6), Trimethylborane (TMB), Boron Trifluoride (BF3), and Boron Trichloride (BCl3). HMDSO is used as a source of oxygen and silicon for depositing doped micro-crystalline silicon oxide layers (p-μc-SiOx:H and n-μc-SiOx:H) as an alternative to Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) and Silane (SiH4). We undertook a comparative assessment of the risk of using conventional gases and the proposed liquid-precursor alternatives. We determined a risk index based on SEMI S2-93A standards of safety; this showed that risk index of the alternative precursors is six fold lower than that of the conventional gases that they can replace. We also compared the consumption of the conventional gases and the alternative precursors in a 1 GW/yr PV manufacturing facility. We found that in manufacturing a double-junction thin-film Si cell, using TMBz instead of B2H6 or BF3 or BCl3, the consumption of p-type dopant is 40% lower. For HMDSO, only a partial replacement of SiH4 was possible in the p-type- and n-type-layers; this replacement can reduce SiH4 consumption by 5%. Furthermore, the impact of the precursors on the process of PV fabrication results in a reduction of throughput time, and may have important ramifications both in manufacturing costs and the lifecycle cumulative-energy demand. Also, we anticipate that the safety-related costs will be lower for the liquid precursors. In parallel studies, we demonstrated that the optical- and electrical-properties of films made from the alternative liquid precursors are similar to those produced by conventional gases. Thus, substituting toxic- and pyrophoric gases with these safer liquid precursors should be encouraged in the PV industry.

description: The primary goal of this research is to better understand the cost structures of delivering Renewable
Energy (RE) based mini-grid projects. The research has revealed a significant lack of clarity and consistency in the RE
mini-grid cost literature, and a lack of appreciation of the impact that delivery mechanisms, service outcomes and other
technical aspects have on costs.
The RE mini-grid sector is growing and attracting interest from public and private sector investors. However, the ability
of investors and other key decision makers to evaluate proposals is limited by this lack of consistency in the presentation
of mini-grid project costs, and by insufficient qualifying details provided. With many investors new to the sector, this
obscurity results in slow approval processes and high risk premiums, stymying the sector’s further development.
It is proposed that a standardised framework for presenting and qualifying costs of RE mini-grids will address this
critical issue. The framework would include a standardised set of cost heads, and set of required qualifying information.
This paper proposes as an example, a preliminary cost framework for PV based mini-grids. A literature review and
case studies are provided to support the proposition of the need for and usefulness of the framework.

description: In 2003 Brazil created a public policy turned to the rural electrification, the “Light for All” Program,
which aims the universal service. The Program has allowed electricity access to 15 million people in the rural area, by
grid connection. Installations are free and must ensure the satisfaction of lighting, communication, and refrigeration
basic needs. Public resources are made available for the distribution concessionaires which decide if they will connect
the user to the grid or to local energy sources. There was an expectation of a bold presence of photovoltaic (PV)
systems, but only 12,000 households have been served by such sources. However, a significant part of the 2 million
people who have not received energy yet depends on the PV systems employment. This paper examines the inhibiting
reasons for their use so far and makes a projection of the still reserved role for the PV systems. It presents a case
study to check if the energy end-use goals have been achieved by isolated communities that have been benefited. It
concludes that some regulation topics need enhancement to: 1) achieve the feasibility of PV generator in Amazon
Forest; 2) ensure the users full access to the electricity benefits.

description: This paper reports an environmental analysis of 41 uniformly-selected stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) based on deep ultraviolet-optical images acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope. Young stellar populations are detected in most SN environments and their ages are derived with a hierarchical Bayesian approach. The age distributions are indistinguishable between Type IIb and Type Ib while that for Type Ic is systematically younger. This suggests that the Type Ic SN progenitors are more massive while the Type IIb and Type Ib SNe have very similar progenitor masses. Our result supports a hybrid envelope-stripping mechanism, in which the hydrogen envelopes of the SESN progenitors are stripped via a mass-insensitive process (e.g. binary interaction) while the helium envelopes are stripped via a mass-sensitive process (e.g. stellar wind of the post-binary interaction progenitor). We also provide progenitor constraints for three Type Ibn SNe and two broad-lined Type Ic SNe. All these results demonstrate the importance of the very diverse mass-loss processes in the origins of SESNe.

description: The photovoltaic modules are considered to have a negligible environmental impact compared to the fossil energy. However, in the last years the emission of pollutants from photovoltaic life cycles has attracted the attention of scientists. The principal concern regards the presence of heavy metals as Cd in thin film modules or Pb and Cr in crystalline modules. At the end of life of photovoltaic panels, these dangerous substances could be released in the environment, if special requirements for their disposal are not adopted. However, there is still a lack of experimental data about the release of substances in the environment from photovoltaic panels. As part of a study funded by the Italian national consortium for the waste collection and recycling (COBAT), the present work was aimed to analyze experimentally the potential release into the environment of hazardous elements, particularly metals, from photovoltaic waste. For this purpose, leaching and ecotoxicology tests were performed on PV samples produced in the last 30 years.
