PV Globalisation, Policies and Administrative Issues

description: 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4106-4108
description: Today, over 20% of the global population lack access to electricity, most of them in rural areas. In such non-electrified and under-electrified regions, renewable energy and especially solar technology offer a particularly great potential. For the development of rural areas, the critical issue is affordable water availability for crop production. Small-scale farmers hence depend on rainwater and the wet season. In the dry season, crops can sell at a
price up to three times higher if irrigation is possible. Harnessing solar energy for irrigation during the dry season can, therefore, open the door for additional sources of income. Aiming to meet these needs, Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) in Switzerland developed a small power (40W-120W) photovoltaic water pump (“SunLight Pump“) that is now locally produced in Bangalore, India. As Indian women play a predominant role in earning a livelihood for their families, the pump was also tested with female farmers. Current deployment is with the female farmers’ association in Kudumbashree; the association operates the Swiss “SunLight Pump” as part of an irrigation system with water tanks and micro sprinklers in view of validating a possible business model.
Order 1 congruences of lines with smooth fundamental scheme

description: In this note we present a notion of fundamental scheme for Cohen- Macaulay, order 1, irreducible congruences of lines. We show that such a congruence is formed by the k-secant lines to its fundamental scheme for a number k that we call the secant index of the congruence. If the fundamental scheme X is a smooth connected variety in PN, then k = (N-1)/(c-1) (where c is the codimension of X) and X comes equipped with a special tangency divisor cut out by a virtual hypersurface of degree k-2 (to be precise, linearly equivalent to a section by an hypersurface of degree (k-2) without being cut by one). This is explained in the main theorem of this paper. This theorem is followed by a complete classification of known locally Cohen-Macaulay order 1 congruences of lines with smooth fundamental scheme. To conclude we remark that according to Zak's classification of Severi Varieties and Harthsorne conjecture for low codimension varieties, this classification is complete.

description: Despite having potential, Malawi’s wheat production has been characterized by low production and productivity. The prospects for scaling up wheat production in Malawi are based on the suitability of different areas for wheat production, increase in global prices and existence of large and growing domestic and regional export markets. Scaling production of wheat in Malawi will fail unless challenges are addressed. These include over-reliance on rain-fed production, limited access to improved varieties for wheat, fertilizers, capacity building in best agronomic practices, and lack of access to existing lucrative markets. There is need to conduct a value chain analysis with key stakeholders to assist in developing the value chain.

description: This study focuses on the development of a PV market and PV policy in Indonesia - a sunny country with 238 million inhabitants - which resulted in the introduction of a feed-in-tariff ranging from 25 – 30 cents/kWh for PV systems by the Indonesian government in June 2013. Our potential study for PV systems in Indonesia showed that off-grid PV systems could generate 1600 GWh/year, grid-connected PV 37 TWh/year, which is more than 26% of the electricity consumption in Indonesia 2010. Given this enormous potential, distributed islands and a solar irradiation of more than 4.4 kWh/m2.day, PV systems could be an appropriate solution for electrification in both urban, rural and remote areas. Evidence for this was found by a PV pilot plant of 34 kWp in Jayapura in Papua showing good performance ratios up to 90%. Stakeholders were assessed and user perception was evaluated by questionnaires in East Timor and Papua indicating support from more than 50% of the local parties and people. To stimulate the development of a PV market a knowledge center has been established at ITB. Therefore ITB offers now master courses on renewable energy with focus on solar energy. All results originate from a 3-year project of the Dutch government on capacity building for solar PV systems involving universities, companies and WWF.

description: Fractional Brownian motion is a self-affine, non-Markovian and translationally invariant generalization of Brownian motion, depending on the Hurst exponent $H$. Here we investigate fractional Brownian motion where both the starting and the end point are zero, commonly referred to as bridge processes. Observables are the time $t_+$ the process is positive, the maximum $m$ it achieves, and the time $t_{\rm max}$ when this maximum is taken. Using a perturbative expansion around Brownian motion ($H=\frac12$), we give the first-order result for the probability distribution of these three variables, and the joint distribution of $m$ and $t_{\rm max}$. Our analytical results are tested, and found in excellent agreement, with extensive numerical simulations, both for $H>\frac12$ and $H

description: A common method to compare different energy generation technologies is the levelized cost of energy, or electricity (LCOE). Also in PV this is getting more popular since not the costs per kW but per kWh are essential. The cost drivers for LCOE are shown in this paper together with the most influencing factors in module technology for 3 different climatic conditions. Efficiency of the modules as well as their lifetime play a crucial role, but also the
temperature coefficient has a big impact. For 3 module types, standard mc and mono and Si Hetero-Junction Technology in combination with SmartWire Connection Technology LCOE is calculated for these 3 climatic conditions. Mono and mc are just below 8 ¢/kWh for sunny regions whereas HJT gets as low as 5.7 ¢/kWh. The difference between these values is split up in the individual contributing factors. It is explained why lifetime of the
panel and annual degradation are superior for HJT/SWCT. With the already shown module efficiency potential of 20% and the bifaciality that is integral part of this technology LCOE values close to 4 ¢/kWh are achievable.

description: The objective of IEA PVPS Task8, is to examine and evaluate the potential and feasibility of Very Large Scale Photovoltaic Power Generation (VLS-PV) systems, which have a capacity ranging from over multi megawatt to gigawatt, and develop practical project proposals toward implementing VLS-PV projects in the future. The number of PV power plants over 100MW in operation will be more than twenty. In addition, there are some projects over 500MW, which are ready for starting operation, planned or under construction. In order to accelerate and implement real VLS-PV projects, we see governments and international organizations as important stakeholders, apart from utilities. As eventual conclusions, suggestions and recommendation of how to overcome hurdles and barriers, from viewpoints of technical and non-technical will be proposed for potential VLS-PV owners and developers.

description: We report the results of an axion dark matter search over an axion mass range of 9.39-9.51 $μ$eV. A flux-driven Josephson parametric amplifier (JPA) was added to the cryogenic receiver chain. A system noise temperature of as low as 200 mK was achieved, which is the lowest recorded noise among published axion cavity experiments with phase-insensitive JPA operation. In addition, we developed a two-stage scanning method which boosted the scan speed by 26%. As a result, a range of two-photon coupling in a plausible model for the QCD axion was excluded with an order of magnitude higher in sensitivity than existing limits.

description: The nucleation in the p-hydroxybenzoic acid:glutaric acid 1:1 cocrystal (PHBA:GLU) system has been investigated in stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric acetonitrile solutions by induction time experiments. Utilizing the ternary phase diagram, the supersaturated non-stoichiometric solutions were created with compositions along the invariant point boundary lines. In all cases, the PHBA:GLU cocrystal was the nucleating phase, even though the non-stoichiometric solutions were also supersaturated with respect to the pure solid phases. The nucleation of the cocrystal from the mixed solutions is found to be more difficult than the nucleation of the pure compounds from the respective pure solutions, as captured by lower pre-exponential factors (A). However, if the driving force is defined per reactant molecule instead of per heterodimer, the cocrystal nucleation difficulty is close to that of the more difficult-to-nucleate pure compound. The difference in nucleation difficulty of the cocrystal from stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric solutions was captured by differences in the interfacial energy, while the pre-exponential factor remained unchanged. Apart from the pure GLU system, the relation between the experimentally determined pre-exponential factors for the different systems correlates with calculated values using theoretical expressions for volume-diffusion and surface-integration control.

description: Geometrical frustration in magnetic materials often gives rise to exotic, low-temperature states of matter, like the ones observed in spin ices. Here we report the imaging of the magnetic states of a thermally-active artificial magnetic ice that reveal the fingerprints of a spin fragmentation process. This fragmentation corresponds to a splitting of the magnetic degree of freedom into two channels and is evidenced in both real and reciprocal space. Furthermore, the internal organization of both channels is interpreted within the framework of a hybrid spin-charge model that directly emerges from the parent spin model of the kagome dipolar spin ice. Our experimental and theoretical results provide insights into the physics of frustrated magnets and deepen our understanding of emergent fields through the use of tailor-made magnetism.

description: This paper presents the analysis of PV investments development in Lublin Region. Lack of law regulations for the RES sector in Poland allow investors to assess the viability of PV investments, and thus to their construction, as is the case in other EU countries. However, the situation may look differently at the regional level. Lublin Region, as the most insolated area in Poland, due to the high ecological awareness of regional authorities, becomes a leader in the amount of power of produced photovoltaic systems. In the near future, because of the co-investment from regional units, in the Lublin Region about 40 PV farms will be built, with total capacity – 37 MWp. Taking into consideration the fact that so far in Poland there were built only two farms – with a capacity of 1 MWp in the Malopolska Region (Wierzchoslawice - near Tarnow [1]), and 1.2 MWp in the central Poland (Czerniewice - near Lodz), this situation puts Lublin Region on the position of the leader of PV investments in Poland.

A weak formulation and the Petrov-Galerkin method are used. It is shown that the FEM gives a reasonable description of the wave dynamics of soliton waves governed by extended KdV equations. Some new results for several cases of bottom shapes are presented. The numerical scheme presented here is suitable for taking into account stochastic effects, which will be discussed in a subsequent paper.

description: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will unveil the non-transient gravitational wave sky full of inspiralling stellar-mass compact binaries within the Local Universe. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is expected to be prominent on the LISA sky due to its proximity and its large population of double white dwarfs (DWD). Here we present the first dedicated study of the LMC with gravitational wave sources. We assemble three LMC models based on: (1) the density distribution and star formation history from optical wavelength observations, (2) a detailed hydrodynamic simulation, and (3) combining the two. Our models yield a hundred to several hundred detectable DWDs: indeed, the LMC will be a resolved galaxy in the LISA sky. Importantly, amongst these we forecast a few tens to a hundred double degenerate supernovae type Ia progenitors, a class of binaries which have never been unambiguously observed. The range in the number of detections is primarily due to differences in the LMC total stellar mass and recent star formation in our models. Our results suggest that the total number, periods, and chirp masses of LISA sources may provide independent constraints on both LMC stellar mass and recent star formation by comparing LISA observations with the models, although such constraints will be highly model-dependent. Our publicly available model populations may be used in future studies of the LMC, including its structure and contribution to LISA confusion noise.

description: This paper presents the findings of the Fraunhofer ISE study on the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of renewable energy technologies with a focus on PV (Fraunhofer ISE, 2013). It predicts future cost and market developments through 2030 based on technology-specific learning curves and market scenarios. Photovoltaics (PV) are assessed in Germany. Moreover, the solar technologies PV and concentrating photovoltaics (CPV) are analyzed in regions with higher solar irradiation. They are compared to other renewable energy technologies such as (onshore and offshore) wind power, concentrating solar power (CSP) and biogas on the basis of common market financing costs. The current and future LCOE for new conventional power plants (brown coal, hard coal, combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT), oil-fired power plants) are calculated as a reference.

description: Partition functions and dissociation equilibrium constants are presented for 291 diatomic molecules for temperatures in the range from near absolute zero to 10000 K, thus providing data for many diatomic molecules of astrophysical interest at low temperature. The calculations are based on molecular spectroscopic data from the book of Huber and Herzberg with significant improvements from the literature, especially updated data for ground states of many of the most important molecules by Irikura. Dissociation energies are collated from compilations of experimental and theoretical values. Partition functions for 284 species of atoms for all elements from H to U are also presented based on data collected at NIST. The calculated data are expected to be useful for modelling a range of low density astrophysical environments, especially star-forming regions, protoplanetary disks, the interstellar medium, and planetary and cool stellar atmospheres. The input data, which will be made available electronically, also provides a possible foundation for future improvement by the community.

description: The liver is a major biosynthetic and detoxifying organ in vertebrates, but also generates 25%–50% of the lymph passing through the thoracic duct and is thereby the organ with the highest contribution to lymph flow. In contrast to its metabolic function, the role of the liver for lymph generation and composition is presently severely understudied. We took a rigorous, volume imaging-based approach to describe the microarchitecture and spatial composition of the hepatic lymphatic vasculature with cellular resolution in whole mount immune stained specimen ranging from thick sections up to entire mouse liver lobes. Here, we describe that in healthy adult livers, lymphatic vessels were exclusively located within the portal tracts, where they formed a unique, highly ramified tree. Ragged, spiky initials enmeshed the portal veins along their entire length and communicated with long lymphatic vessels that followed the path of the portal vein in close association with bile ducts. Together these lymphatic vessels formed a uniquely shaped vascular bed with a delicate architecture highly adapted to the histological structure of the liver. Unexpectedly, with the exception of short collector stretches at the porta hepatis, which we identified as exit point of the liver lymph vessels, the entire hepatic lymph vessel system was comprised of capillary lymphatic endothelial cells only. Functional experiments confirmed the space of Disse as the origin of the hepatic lymph and flow via the space of Mall to the portal lymph capillaries. After entry into the lymphatic initials, the lymph drained retrograde to the portal blood flow towards the exit at the liver hilum. Perinatally, the liver undergoes complex changes transforming from the main hematopoietic to the largest metabolic organ. We investigated the time course of lymphatic vessel development and identified the hepatic lymphatics to emerge postnatally in a process that relies on input from the VEGF-C/VERGFR-3 growth factor—receptor pair for formation of the fully articulate hepatic lymph vessel bed.

description: The electricity demand in the Middle East North African (MENA) region is increasing quickly and is highly dependent on diminishing fossil fuel resources. The economics of photovoltaic (PV) power plants are very promising and have already started their full competitiveness to fossil fuel fired power plants. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of fossil fuel fired power plants can be reduced by hybridization with PV power plants. Even lower costs are achieved by including both PV and wind power plants. In the long-term, expanding a hybrid PV-Wind-Fossil power system by the renewable power methane storage technology might create a 100% renewable based power system. This long-term option might be of high relevance for the post fossil fuel age in the MENA region.

description: Scientists produce huge amounts of data every day, unfortunately not the full potential of these data is exploited. Most of the time, data is generated in a special project, kept within only one working group and forgotten after a few years. Eventually, the interest in these data arises again, but unfortunately, the data then is lost for different reasons: The data cannot be found, the data cannot be opened because the software is no longer supported, the documentation of the data is incomplete, so nobody understands the data anymore, and the list goes on. To avoid these issues, the FAIR principles [1] for good research data management were established, which are required by more and more funders, e.g., the DFG, and journals, e.g. ChemMedChem. But the scientists are not left alone with these new challenges. The NFDI4Chem [2] and SIS Pharmacy [3] support with tools, information materials, workshops and more to make the transition to FAIR research data as easy as possible. In this poster, we want to offer support to scientists which are new to the field of FAIR research data management.

description: Based on production and export data, groundnut has the potential to contribute to Malawi’s agricultural diversification agenda, for both food and export purposes. According to key informants interviewed, the main challenges faced in the groundnut value chain are high aflatoxin contamination, limited access to improved seed, and limited access to structured markets. Policy options should focus on addressing issues that limit productivity and strategies for mitigating aflatoxin contamination considering their threat to food and nutrition security, public health, and access to higher-value markets. Future research should focus on how to best alleviate the identified constraints and harness opportunities for contributing to the country's agricultural diversification agenda not only in the groundnut value chain but also for other crops.

description: Statistics Netherlands (CBS) annually publishes the contribution of renewables to the Dutch electricity supply, by following a national protocol. The amount of electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) technology is calculated from the average installed capacity in a particular year multiplied by a specific yield value of 700 kWh per
kWp installed. It was generally recognized by market stakeholders that this value was too low. Therefore a study was performed that should lead to an updated value that would be support by the market stakeholders. From several data sources PV performance data was collected, for the years 2012 and 2013, and an expert meeting was organized to come to a common advice to CBS. Consensus among the experts was reached on a specific yield of 875 kWh/kWp, to be used from 2011 onwards. This constitutes a 25% increase with respect to the old value.

description: Supermassive stars forming at $z \sim$ 15 - 20 are one of the leading contenders for the origin of the first quasars, over 200 of which have now been discovered at $z >$ 6. These stars likely form in pristine, atomically cooled haloes immersed in strong Lyman-Werner UV backgrounds or in highly supersonic baryon streaming flows. Atomic cooling triggers catastrophic baryon collapse capable of building up stars at rates of up to $\sim$1 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. Here we examine the evolution of supermassive stars with a much larger and finer grid of accretion rates than in previous studies with the \texttt{MESA} stellar evolution code. We find that their final masses range from 3.5 $\times$ 10$^3$ M$_{\odot}$ - 3.7 $\times$ 10$^5$ M$_{\odot}$ at accretion rates of 0.001 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ - 1 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$, respectively. We also find that supermassive star evolution diverges at accretion rates of 0.01 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ - 0.02 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$, above which they evolve as cool red hypergiants along the Hayashi track and collapse via the general relativistic instability during central hydrogen burning, and below which they evolve as hot blue supergiants and collapse at the end of their nuclear burning lifetimes after exiting the main sequence.

description: An overview of recent photovoltaic (PV) market growth in South Asia is presented here. Almost a quarter of the world population lives in South Asia where there is a huge electricity demand. Most of the population lives in rural areas where either there is shortage of electricity or no electricity at all. In the last 5 years several projects have been initiated by Governments and private sectors in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka to overcome the shortage of electricity with the help of PV technologies. The project varies from off-grid to grid-connected solutions. The projects run on different scales from few kilowatts to gigawatts capacity. In this work a brief overview of these projects and activities is presented.

description: This paper looks into the potential of the state of Kuwait for the utilization of photovoltaic (PV) generated electricity. This is done by terms of exploring the economical competitiveness of several proposed grid connected PV systems as part of the Kuwait multi technology Renewable Energy Park project led by Kuwait Institute for Scientific research (KISR). The investigation showed that electricity generated from the proposed PV power plants are competitive with the current energy generation cost in Kuwait of 0.1 €/kWh and system price of 1.3€/Wp which yields 8.0% in the return of investment at local discount rate of 4%. Those calculations are done on the base that the government will lease or provide the land as part of the Renewable Energy Park project incentives in addition to the grid connection infrastructure.

description: Terahertz near fields of gold metamaterials resonant at a frequency of $0.88\,\rm THz$ allow us to enter an extreme limit of non-perturbative ultrafast THz electronics: Fields reaching a ponderomotive energy in the keV range are exploited to drive nondestructive, quasi-static interband tunneling and impact ionization in undoped bulk GaAs, injecting electron-hole plasmas with densities in excess of $10^{19}\,\rm cm^{-3}$. This process causes bright luminescence at energies up to $0.5\,\rm eV$ above the band gap and induces a complete switch-off of the metamaterial resonance accompanied by self-amplitude modulation of transmitted few-cycle THz transients. Our results pave the way towards highly nonlinear THz optics and optoelectronic nanocircuitry with sub-picosecond switching times.

description: We apply the clustering algorithm HDBSCAN on the Gaia early third data release astrometry combined with the Gaia second data release radial velocity measurements of almost 5.5 million stars to identify the local stellar kinematic substructures in the solar neighborhood. Understanding these structures helps build a more complete picture of the formation of the Milky Way, as well as an empirical phase space distribution of dark matter that would inform detection experiments. The main goal of this study is to provide a list of the most stable clusters, by taking into account the measurement uncertainties and studying the stability of the clustering results. We apply the clustering algorithm in two spaces, in velocity space in order to study recently accreted structures, and in action-angle space to find phase-mixed structures. We find 23 (6) robust clusters in velocity space (action-angle space) that are consistently not associated with noise. They are attributed to the known structures: the Gaia Sausage-Enceladus, the Helmi Stream, and globular cluster NGC 3201 are found in both spaces, while NGC 104 and the thick disk (Sequoia) are identified in velocity space (action-angle space). We discuss the kinematic properties of these structures and study whether many of the small clusters belong to a similar larger cluster based on their chemical abundances. Although we do not identify any new structures, we find that the HDBSCAN member selection of already known structures is unstable to input kinematics of the stars when resampled within their uncertainties. We therefore present the most stable subset of local kinematic structures, which are consistently identified by the clustering algorithm, and emphasize the need to take into account error propagation during both the manual and automated identification of stellar structures, both for existing ones as well as future discoveries.

description: The spatial confinement and the propagation length of surface waves in a single-layer two-dimensional atomic crystal are analysed in term of its surface susceptibility and its surface conductivity. Based on the values of these macroscopic parameters, extracted from experimental observations, it is confirmed that graphene supports a transverse magnetic non-radiating surface mode in the ultraviolet spectral region while a single-layer hexagonal Boron-Nitride is predicted to support a transverse electric non-radiating surface mode in the visible spectrum. This last mode, at a vacuum wavelength of 633 nm, has a spatial confinement of 15 microns and an intensity-propagation distance greater than 2 cm.
