PV as Building Material Component

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3762-3767
description: We present an experimental and numerical investigation of naturally ventilated residential rooftop
BIPV systems typical of France. Monthly electrical performance measures are presented to classify the comparative
performance of BIPV test benches that were monitored during the first year of operation. Global equivalent thermal
conductance is estimated to provide a direct indicator of thermal performance. A transient coupled thermal and
electrical model was developed in TRNSYS and was experimentally validated using the BIPV test benches. Relative
differences between predicted and measured data exceeding 2% and 4% were observed for the thermal and electrical
results respectively. The model was accurate to 2% for sunny days and less precise for cloudy days. This model was
used to deduce the impact of rooftop integration configuration on electrical performance.

description: IEEE 802.11e standard defines two Medium Access Control (MAC) functions to support Quality of Service (QoS) for wireless local area networks: Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) and HCF Controlled Channel Access (HCCA). EDCA provides fair prioritized QoS support while HCCA guarantees parameterized QoS for the traffics with rigid QoS requirements. The latter shows higher QoS provisioning with Constant Bit Rate (CBR) traffics. However, it does not efficiently cope with the fluctuation of the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) video streams since its reference scheduler generates a schedule based on the mean characteristics of the traffic. Scheduling based on theses characteristics is not always accurate as these tra_cs show high irregularity over the time. In this paper, we propose an enhancement on the HCCA polling mechanism to address the problem of scheduling pre-recorded VBR video streams. Our approach enhances the polling mechanism by feed-backing the arrival time of the subsequent video frame of the uplink traffic obtained through cross-layering approach. Simulation experiments have been conducted on several publicly available video traces in order to show the efficiency of our mechanism. The simulation results reveal the efficiency of the proposed mechanism in providing less delay and high throughput with conserving medium channel through minimizing the number of Null-Frames caused by wasted polls

description: We approach the issue of short-term PV output intermittency from a management standpoint by
determining the cost of actively mitigating it using “shock-absorbing” short-term energy buffers. Using three case
studies in California, Hawaii and the southern US as experimental support, we determine this cost as a function of (1)
the desired amount of variability mitigation; (2) the considered variability time scale, (3) the PV resource’s
geographical footprint, and (4) the availability of accurate solar forecasts. We show that, in a plausible operational
context, the cost of mitigating variability across time scales ranging from one minute to a couple of hours could be
kept below 20-35 cents per installed PV kW.

description: The main task of an energy calibration is to find a relation between pulse-height values and the corresponding energies. Doing this for each pulse-height channel individually requires an elaborated input spectrum with an excellent counting statistics and a sophisticated data analysis. This work presents an easy to handle energy calibration process which can operate reliably on calibration measurements with low counting statistics. The method uses a parameter based model for the energy calibration and concludes on the optimal parameters of the model by finding the best correlation between the measured pulse-height spectrum and multiple synthetic pulse-height spectra which are constructed with different sets of calibration parameters. A CdTe-based semiconductor detector and the line emissions of an 241 Am source were used to test the performance of the correlation method in terms of systematic calibration errors for different counting statistics. Up to energies of 60 keV systematic errors were measured to be less than 0.1 keV. Energy calibration via correlation can be applied to any kind of calibration spectra and shows a robust behavior at low counting statistics. It enables a fast and accurate calibration that can be used to monitor the spectroscopic properties of a detector system in near realtime.

description: In almost every facet of education both in-person and online streams exist. This is true for business, science, humanities, and even medicine, in many instances. Even engineering offers some content online but is stymied by the inability to truly deliver an online laboratory experience. As a result, critical training content is lost to the online student. SETU Carlow and DCU have partnered to deliver a novel, state-of-the-art, off-campus laboratory education experience. This preliminary study investigates the benefits of an Immersive Extended Reality (I-XR) content for training undergraduate students to use high-end, complex, expensive test equipment in a safe and supportive environment. It was found that a broad range of students were able to translate I-XR learnings directly to successful usage of this test equipment, suggesting that further development and expansion of these platform services are strongly advised.

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3796-3799
description: Luminescent materials can be embedded into the architecture of photovoltaic (PV) modules and
improve the efficiency of nearly all in-production PV technologies, via luminescent down-shifting of shortwavelength
photons. At the same time, visible-wavelength luminescence that is not emitted towards the solar cells,
due to its omnidirectional nature, is perceived by the human eye as bright colours. This can be exploited for
improving the aesthetical presentation of commercial PV modules and thus encourage their greater uptake in the
urban landscape. It is argued that this approach for producing coloured PV modules leads to superior efficiencies,
compared to the commercial state-of-the-art method of modifying the silicon nitride anti-reflective coating of
crystalline silicon solar cells. In addition, the incorporation of luminescent materials is directly applicable to thin-film
PV technologies as well. Finally, the use of luminescent materials affords the possibility for graphic designing of
commercial PV modules, which can create opportunities via their functional colouration.

Reconhece que a saúde de humanos, animais domésticos e selvagens, plantas e o meio ambiente (incluindo ecossistemas) estão intimamente ligados e são interdependentes. A abordagem mobiliza vários setores, disciplinas e comunidades, em diferentes níveis da sociedade para trabalhar em conjunto, promover o bem-estar e enfrentar ameaças à saúde e aos ecossistemas. Ao mesmo tempo, aborda a necessidade coletiva de água limpa, energia e ar, alimentos seguros e nutritivos, agindo sobre as mudanças climáticas e contribuindo para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Esta abordagem que opera nos níveis local, regional, nacional e global reconhece a interconexão entre pessoas, animais, plantas e meio ambiente compartilhado. Dessa forma, problemas complexos na interface humano-animal-ambiente podem ser melhor resolvidos por meio da comunicação, cooperação, complementação, coordenação, organização e colaboração multidisciplinar. Concebe-se que a saúde humana, animal e ambiental estão conectadas e o que aconteça com cada um deles, afetará as demais” FONTE: https://www.gov.br/saude/pt-br/assuntos/saude-de-a-a-z/s/saude-unica O Colóquio pretendeu oferecer aos participantes atividades de formação continuada de elevado nível acadêmico e de inegável relevância social no campo da saúde humana, animal e ambiental, fomentando reflexões sobre possíveis articulações e interfaces em tais campos de conhecimento. Nessa ordem de ideias, o evento foi dividido em dois blocos complementares. No primeiro segmento, os pressupostos, as propriedades e as funções da Saúde Única foram apresentadas pela Dra. Danila Frias, professora da Universidade Brasil. Já na segunda seção, a exposição da professora Danila Frias foi repercutida pelos debatedores, tanto pelo debatedor convidado quanto pelos regulares.

description: Understanding stellar birth requires observations of the clouds in which they form. These clouds are dense and self-gravitating, and in all existing observations, they are molecular with H_2 the dominant species and CO the best available tracer. When the abundances of carbon and oxygen are low compared to hydrogen, and the opacity from dust is also low, as in primeval galaxies and local dwarf irregular galaxies, CO forms slowly and is easily destroyed, so it is difficult for it to accumulate inside dense clouds. Here we report interferometric observations of CO clouds in the local group dwarf irregular galaxy Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte (WLM), which has a metallicity that is 13% of the solar value and 50% lower than the previous CO detection threshold. The clouds are tiny compared to the surrounding atomic and H_2 envelopes, but they have typical densities and column densities for CO clouds in the Milky Way. The normal CO density explains why star clusters forming in dwarf irregulars have similar densities to star clusters in giant spiral galaxies. The low cloud masses suggest that these clusters will also be low mass, unless some galaxy-scale compression occurs, such as an impact from a cosmic cloud or other galaxy. If the massive metal-poor globular clusters in the halo of the Milky Way formed in dwarf galaxies, as is commonly believed, then they were probably triggered by such an impact.

description: The ever increasing deployment of photovoltaic systems and other distributed energy resources causes
massive challenges for utility operators in terms of planning and operation. Through promising new intelligent methods,
i.e., Smart Grids, existing infrastructure can be used in a more efficient way, allowing a higher penetration of
distributed and renewable resources. Standardized and common communication systems are important keys to realize
such intelligent methods. The IEC 61850 interoperability approach is one of the most promising solutions for multivendor
information exchange in electric power systems today. However, many of today’s photovoltaic inverters do
not have an IEC 61850 capable interface. The main aim of this paper therefore is to present and discuss a cost effective
way of upgrading such inverters through a standard-compliant gateway device, which implements IEC 61850
functions, thus making the inverter’s functionalities accessible and ready for the future Smart Grid.

description: In recent years several investigations have been done to determine the optimal system configuration of
pv Storage systems, focusing on storage and pv generator size. These investigations always assume the same
operating strategy: If pv production is larger than the actual consumption, pv power is stored. If the local
consumption is higher than the actual pv production stored power is used as long as available. This study derives a
mathematical framework, which allows the calculation of the upper performance limit for a specific household and
storage system. This allows us to evaluate the economical potential of different system designs.
La migrazione in prospettiva. Regioni di Kolda e Sédhiou (Senegal), Gabu (Guinea-Bissau)

description: Nel 2017, una ricerca preliminare condotta nella regione senegalese di Kolda e guineense di Gabu dall’Università di Milano-Bicocca, in collaborazione con l’ONG italiana Fondazione ACRA, ha permesso di comprendere le modalità con cui le comunità di Diaobé-Kabendou, e quelle nei dintorni di Kounkané, Kandiaye e Sare Coly Salle (sul versante senegalese, dipartimento di Vélingara) e della città di Gabu (sul versante guineense) avevano accesso ai canali migratori internazionali. Questa mobilità coinvolgeva giovani uomini con poca o nessuna istruzione che, per le loro origini rurali, avevano familiarità con il lavoro agricolo e pastorale. I tentativi di raggiungere l’Europa senza visto d’ingresso, così da eventualmente regolarizzare la loro posizione attraverso il meccanismo legale di richiesta d’asilo per motivi politici o umanitari, sono divenuti più frequenti a partire dagli anni 2000.
 Le conseguenze sui contesti locali di questa mobilità, popolarmente conosciuta come lawol ley (la strada in basso, in Pulaar) o koma siloo (la strada laterale, in Mandinka), è incomparabile a quello delle precedenti migrazioni internazionali: il numero di giovani coinvolti, il rapido miglioramento delle condizioni di vita delle famiglie i cui membri sono riusciti a entrare nello spazio europeo, la tragedia dei fallimenti e, dal 2017 in poi, i ritorni volontari o forzati dalla rotta mediterranea1 centrale hanno aperto una fase storica in cui la migrazione, la sua legittimità e il suo significato è dibattuto a tutti i livelli della società. Mentre le organizzazioni internazionali, il governo senegalese e la società civile tentano di gestire i flussi e incoraggiare il rimpatrio, le comunità locali e le reti familiari devono affrontare quotidianamente i costi sociali e umani della lawol ley/koma siloo.

description: As grid price rises and the feed-in tariff declines, the economics of local storage become increasingly
lucrative to the system owner. The attractiveness of a local storage investment is compounded in the presence of a PV
grid injection cap. The larger the PV system size is relative to this cap level, the greater the opportunity exists to
charge the local storage with PV production that would otherwise be dissipated without credit. This study utilizes two
household demand profiles that represent the extremes of the potential for local PV self-consumption and,
consequently, the range of economic potential that exists for local storage to be coupled with residential PV systems.
A series of algorithms were subsequently developed to analyze the related benefit potential of delayed storage
charging to target instances of excess PV production in relation to the grid injection cap.

description: We study the applicability of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation, for the evolution of high frequency nonlinear waves, observed at the foreshock region of the terrestrial quasi-parallel bow shock. The use of a pseudo-potential is elucidated and, in particular, the importance of canonical representation in the correct interpretation of solutions in this formulation is discussed. Numerical solutions of the DNLS equation are then compared directly with the wave forms observed by Cluster spacecraft. Non harmonic slow variations are filtered out by applying the empirical mode decomposition. We find large amplitude nonlinear wave trains at frequencies above the proton cyclotron frequency, followed in time by nearly harmonic low amplitude fluctuations. The approximate phase speed of these nonlinear waves, indicated by the parameters of numerical solutions, is of the order of the local Alfvén speed.

description: Two-dimensional materials are characterised by a number of unique physical properties which can potentially make them useful to a wide diversity of applications. In particular, the large thermal conductivity of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride has already been acknowledged and these materials have been suggested as novel core materials for thermal management in electronics. However, it was not clear if mass produced flakes of hexagonal boron nitride would allow one to achieve an industrially-relevant value of thermal conductivity. Here we demonstrate that laminates of hexagonal boron nitride exhibit thermal conductivity of up to 20 W/mK, which is significantly larger than that currently used in thermal management. We also show that the thermal conductivity of laminates increases with the increasing volumetric mass density, which creates a way of fine-tuning its thermal properties.

description: Aiming to reduce the implementation and maintenance costs of a large-scale photovoltaic (PV) power

we experimentally demonstrated that the developed fault-diagnosis architecture can determine the number of fault
modules in a large-scale PV power plant without extra sensors.

description: Resonance dielectric response of excitons is studied for the high-quality GaAs/InGaAs heterostructures with wide asymmetric quantum wells (QWs). To highlight effects of the QW asymmetry, we have grown and studied several heterostructures with nominally square QWs as well as with triangle-like QWs. Several quantum confined exciton states are experimentally observed as narrow exciton resonances with various profiles. A standard approach for the phenomenological analysis of the profiles is generalized by introducing of different phase shifts for the light waves reflected from the QWs at different exciton resonances. Perfect agreement of the phenomenological fit to the experimentally observed exciton spectra for high-quality structures allowed us to obtain reliable parameters of the exciton resonances including the exciton transition energies, the radiative broadenings, and the phase shifts. A direct numerical solution of Schrödinger equation for the heavy-hole excitons in asymmetric QWs is used for microscopic modeling of the exciton resonances. Remarkable agreement with the experiment is achieved when the effect of indium segregation during the heterostructure growth is taken into account. The segregation results in a modification of the potential profile, in particular, in an asymmetry of the nominally square QWs.

PV System and Grid Integration Aspects

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3740-3744
description: Effect of grid feed-in curtailment of a PV system with heat or electricity storage (battery) is simulated
as a function of system dimensioning with a focus on the induced PV power losses (due to this limit) and on cost
balance. Heat storage is provided by a domestic hot water tank heated with heat pump or electrical water heating
system. The case studied is based on a Swiss household with an annual electricity energy consumption of about 5000
kWh (without thermal loads). The effect of electricity generation forecast imprecision on cost balance optimization is
also evaluated. The simulations showed that only relatively small electrical storage capacities or controllable thermal
loads are sufficient to reduce considerably the PV-losses. Forecast inaccuracies have a non-negligible detrimental
impact on cost balance with the designed algorithm.

description: We investigate in detail the escape dynamics in an analytical gravitational model which describes the motion of stars in a quasar galaxy with a disk and a massive nucleus. We conduct a thorough numerical analysis distinguishing between regular and chaotic orbits as well as between trapped and escaping orbits, considering only unbounded motion for several energy levels. In order to distinguish safely and with certainty between ordered and chaotic motion we apply the Smaller ALingment Index (SALI) method. It is of particular interest to locate the escape basins through the openings around the collinear Lagrangian points $L_1$ and $L_2$ and relate them with the corresponding spatial distribution of the escape times of the orbits. Our exploration takes place both in the configuration $(x,y)$ and in the phase $(x,\dot{x})$ space in order to elucidate the escape process as well as the overall orbital properties of the galactic system. Our numerical analysis reveals the strong dependence of the properties of the considered escape basins with the total orbital energy, with a remarkable presence of fractal basin boundaries along all the escape regimes. We hope our outcomes to be useful for a further understanding of the escape mechanism in active galaxy models.

description: We have carried out an extensive multi-wavelength study to investigate the star formation process in the S235 complex. The S235 complex has a sphere-like shell appearance at wavelengths longer than 2 $μ$m and harbors an O9.5V type star approximately at its center. Near-infrared extinction map traces eight subregions (having A$_{V}$ $>$ 8 mag), and five of them appear to be distributed in an almost regularly spaced manner along the sphere-like shell surrounding the ionized emission. This picture is also supported by the integrated $^{12}$CO and $^{13}$CO intensity maps and by Bolocam 1.1 mm continuum emission. The position-velocity analysis of CO reveals an almost semi-ring like structure, suggesting an expanding H\,{\sc ii} region. We find that the Bolocam clump masses increase as we move away from the location of the ionizing star. This correlation is seen only for those clumps which are distributed near the edges of the shell. Photometric analysis reveals 435 young stellar objects (YSOs), 59\% of which are found in clusters. Six subregions (including five located near the edges of the shell) are very well correlated with the dust clumps, CO gas, and YSOs. The average values of Mach numbers derived using NH$_{3}$ data for three (East~1, East~2, and Central~E) out of these six subregions are 2.9, 2.3, and 2.9, indicating these subregions are supersonic. The molecular outflows are detected in these three subregions, further confirming the on-going star formation activity. Together, all these results are interpreted as observational evidence of positive feedback of a massive star.

description: In this paper we present deterministic analysis of sufficient conditions for sparse subspace clustering under missing data, when data is assumed to come from a Union of Subspaces (UoS) model. In this context we consider two cases, namely Case I when all the points are sampled at the same co-ordinates, and Case II when points are sampled at different locations. We show that results for Case I directly follow from several existing results in the literature, while results for Case II are not as straightforward and we provide a set of dual conditions under which, perfect clustering holds true. We provide extensive set of simulation results for clustering as well as completion of data under missing entries, under the UoS model. Our experimental results indicate that in contrast to the full data case, accurate clustering does not imply accurate subspace identification and completion, indicating the natural order of relative hardness of these problems.

description: The extent to which a sequence of finite length differs from a shifted version of itself is measured by its aperiodic autocorrelations. Of particular interest are sequences whose entries are 1 or -1, called binary sequences, and sequences whose entries are complex numbers of unit magnitude, called unimodular sequences. Since the 1950s, there is sustained interest in sequences with small aperiodic autocorrelations relative to the sequence length. One of the main motivations is that a sequence with small aperiodic autocorrelations is intrinsically suited for the separation of signals from noise, and therefore has natural applications in digital communications. This survey reviews the state of knowledge concerning the two central problems in this area: How small can the aperiodic autocorrelations of a binary or a unimodular sequence collectively be and how can we efficiently find the best such sequences? Since the analysis and construction of sequences with small aperiodic autocorrelations is closely tied to the (often much easier) analysis of periodic autocorrelation properties, several fundamental results on corresponding problems in the periodic setting are also reviewed.

description: We review recent advances and results in enhancing and developing helioseismic analysis methods and in solar data assimilation. In the first part of this paper we will focus on selected developments in time-distance and global helioseismology. In the second part, we review the application of data assimilation methods on solar data. Relating solar surface observations as well as helioseismic proxies with solar dynamo models by means of the techniques from data assimilation is a promising new approach to explore and to predict the magnetic activity cycle of the Sun.

description: Morphological trends in growing colonies of living cells are at the core of physiological and evolutionary processes. Using active gel equations, which include cell division, we show that shape changes during the growth can be regulated by the dynamics of topological defects in the orientation of cells. The friction between the dividing cells and underlying substrate drives anisotropic colony shapes toward more isotropic morphologies, by mediating the number density and velocity of topological defects. We show that the defects interact with the interface at a specific interaction range, set by the vorticity length scale of flows within the colony, and that the cells predominantly reorient parallel to the interface due to division-induced active stresses.

description: Methods based on propagation of the one-body reduced density-matrix hold much promise for the simulation of correlated many-electron dynamics far from equilibrium, but difficulties with finding good approximations for the interaction term in its equation of motion have so far impeded their application. These difficulties include the violation of fundamental physical principles such as energy conservation, positivity conditions on the density, or unchanging natural orbital occupation numbers. We review some of the recent efforts to confront these problems, and explore a semiclassical approximation for electron correlation coupled to time-dependent Hartree-Fock propagation. We find that this approach captures changing occupation numbers, and excitations to doubly-excited states, improving over TDHF and adiabatic approximations in density-matrix propagation. However, it does not guarantee $N$-representability of the density-matrix, consequently resulting sometimes in violation of positivity conditions, even though a purely semiclassical treatment preserves these conditions.
