description: PV installations on individual dwellings are generally designed in order to maximize the
electrical output given the physical constraints of the building. Financial incentives also play a major role, the
structure of the feed-in tariffs and the fiscal measures leading to a majority of 3-kWp residential PV installations in
France. When possible, the solar panels are South-facing and tilted at 30° to 40° for a maximum yield.
However, if the aim is no longer to maximize the solar panels’ output but to match as much as possible the PV
production profile to the electrical load curve, several new approaches appear:
- the first and most commonly studied is to shift some electrical loads to hours of the day when the solar panels
generate electricity. This demand side management generally acts on electric hot water tanks, electrical heating,
heat pumps and electric vehicle batteries when relevant.
- the second and novel approach is the one presented in this paper, which consists in adapting the PV installation to
the electrical load curve of the house.

description: In order to have both predictable power demand and supply, in accordance with an increased selfconsumption
of PV generated electrical energy, it seems natural to coordinate the installed PV units with consuming
and storing devices inside a locally build-up smart grid. By the generation, storage and consumption of power in one´s
own home but also by sharing between users in an integrated neighbourhood, energy production and demand can be
coordinated when it includes sharing of information for exchange excess power and storage capacity, inside smart
neighbourhood grids and the external power grid. Consequently households are equipped with additional ICT based
hardware for measuring, controlling and optimizing their energy consumption and generation. In order to test and prove
this underlying technology under real conditions, field tests with collaborating users are already underway in Konstanz
(Germany) and will continued and extended at user sites in the Province of Caserta (Italy).

description: It is considered that buildings are responsible for more than one third of global energy use and
associated greenhouse gas emissions in developed and developing countries. Energy is mainly consumed during the
occupancy stage of buildings for heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and appliances. A smaller percentage, about
10%, is consumed during manufacturing of materials, construction and demolition. Despite the existence of the need
and opportunities to reduce energy consumption in buildings, the potential remains largely untapped in most
countries. For this study, the design, construction and performance monitoring of energy efficient building with
integrated photovoltaics (PV) is considered. Unlike conventional housing, the house design combines energy
efficiency measures and renewable energy technologies into one building structure. This paper deals with the
installation and monitoring of a building integrated photovoltaic system and evaluating the thermal efficiency of the
building envelope obtained through passive heating and cooling. In winter, average indoor temperature was observed
to follow outdoor temperature with a time lag of 2 hours and a decrement factor of 0.67. The indoor temperature was
in the comfort band (16–28°C) for 72% of the time. During the summer season, both indoor temperature and relative
humidity were in the comfort band for more than 90% of the time. A time lag of 3 hours and decrement factor of
0.56 was observed between the indoor and outdoor temperatures during the summer season.

description: As semi-transparent photovoltaic windows are advancing within the building and window industry, the
need for deeper understanding and quantification of their thermal and electrical behaviour is paramount. The objective of
this work is to study and predict the thermal response and electric performance of a typical double-glazed insulated unit
integrating STPV technologies on its outer glass layer. PV operating cell temperatures of up to 55.3°C were measured
through an experimental study of a prototype STPV window. A numerical model was developed and verified based on
the experimental data. The simulations showed that the highest operating cell temperatures occurred during the fall
season with operating cell temperatures of up to 60°C, for a south-facing office façade incorporating STPV windows,
located in Toronto, Canada.

description: Numerous studies have proved the usefulness of surface patterning for the modification of tribological performances of sliding contacts. Here we investigate the effects of patterning on the tribological properties of a slider over a solid substrate. We show that, depending on the numerical density of surface grooves, the tribological properties can change significantly. A low density of surface patterning leads to a decrease of static friction force, while a higher density weakens this effect. The decrease is related to a non-uniform distribution of surface stress induced by patterning. We believe these findings and approach to be relevant for technological applications and related optimal design.

description: The aim of the research is to identify the optimum allocation of PV and wind power plants within the
four main islands of Japan, for a green power supplier producing power exclusively by PV, wind and biomass. PV
and wind power has different type of power fluctuations, which are unique to the geographical location. In this
research, firstly, the potentials of PV and wind power in each region of Japan are calculated according to the
geographical and social constraints. Secondly, the optimum allocation of the PV and wind power plants, in terms of
the LCOE (Levelized Cost of Electricity) is determined considering the hourly change in meteorological conditions in
each region based on the hourly weather records of the Meteorological Agency. Only the necessary capacity is
calculated for the biomass power plant since its power output is irrelevant to the geographical and meteorological
conditions. Finally, the cash flow has been derived under the optimum power plant allocation.

description: In the contemporary landscape, the proliferation of data, driven by the internet, social media, and the Internet of Things (IoT), has catalyzed transformative shifts across various sectors, with Machine Learning (ML) standing at the forefront of this revolution. As the Big Data era fosters remarkable ML advancements in domains like image recognition and natural language processing, it also introduces substantial computational challenges, logistical hurdles, and privacy concerns. These complexities have pushed traditional ML approaches to the limit, often proving inadequate, prompting the rise of innovative paradigms such as Federated Learning (FL). We delve into the challenges posed by FL's traditional iterative training process, which is non-dynamic and prescribes predetermined operations for participating learners. We investigate a dynamic approach anchored in the principles of Functional Geometric Monitoring (FGM), a state-of-the-art technique for monitoring distributed data streams, with the aim to enhance the training process by significantly mitigating communication overhead. Through the lens of FGM and employing three approximation techniques, our work evaluates its efficacy in refining FL's conventional training procedures, supported by comprehensive experimental analyses.

description: Soiling loss adversely impacts the performance of solar PV systems. Several studies have researched
the role of tilt angle, composition of dust particles etc. in an effort to understand soiling losses better. However, most
studies have focused on one technology at a time and little is known about how different PV technologies perform
under the same dust conditions in rooftop installations in urban area. This study conducted over a period of one
month compares soiling losses in four solar PV technologies - Poly-crystalline, Mono-crystalline, Hetro junction
Intrinsic thin film (HIT) and Cd-Te thin film - placed on a rooftop in Bangalore, India, and concluded that which one
is most suitable for similar urban environments full of air pollutants in India. The results show that Cd-Te
Technology has the highest soiling losses of about 10.88% at the end of first week while poly silicon has the lowest
soiling loss 4.21%. However soiling losses for all four technologies increase incrementally

description: Deep Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown impressive performance in various vision tasks such as image classification, object detection and semantic segmentation. For object detection, particularly in still images, the performance has been significantly increased last year thanks to powerful deep networks (e.g. GoogleNet) and detection frameworks (e.g. Regions with CNN features (R-CNN)). The lately introduced ImageNet task on object detection from video (VID) brings the object detection task into the video domain, in which objects' locations at each frame are required to be annotated with bounding boxes. In this work, we introduce a complete framework for the VID task based on still-image object detection and general object tracking. Their relations and contributions in the VID task are thoroughly studied and evaluated. In addition, a temporal convolution network is proposed to incorporate temporal information to regularize the detection results and shows its effectiveness for the task.

description: The purpose of this work is to quantify an upper-limit for the energy-yield gains of solutions to track
the substring-level maximum power point, since solutions are proposed without knowing the maximum recoverable
power as compared to module-level maximum power point tracking. This paper therefore introduces a novel
measurement set-up for photovoltaic modules to evaluate the additional energy capture potential when applying submodule
solutions to overcome partial-shading. The set-up measures the IV characteristics of 10 substrings that
constitute a module, which provides information about the energy-yield and substring characteristics over time. Three
test cases are executed. In the first two test cases, the module is artificially shaded. Output power gains of 20 W
(43.5% relative to M-MPP) to 30 W (91.6%) were obtained, assuming that ideally the substring-level and modulelevel
maximum power-point can be tracked without power conversion losses. In the third case the PV module is
measured during one month under weather-as-is conditions to quantify the energy-yield difference between substringlevel
maximum power-point tracking and module-level maximum power-point tracking.

description: Hot spot issue is possible to cause the risk of thermal damage and power consumption in PV modules.
In this work, we realize that it really could make such threat from both indoor and outdoor test. First, we followed
IEC_61215 to find the hot spot cell and shading rates of maximum power dissipation. The temperature in hot spot region
is proportional to irradiance intensity by light soaking chamber test and value can reach 140 °C and 115° C for P-mono and
P-multi modules respectively under 1000 W/m2 irradiance. As for power measurement in STC, when shading area about
a half cell can make 35% loss of total power. The period of outdoor data collection about three months, those including IV
curve, weather data and modules temperature. In the field test, performance ratio of P-mono and P-multi modules were
reduced 26% and 22% respectively under the worst shading rate condition. For the hot spot thermal monitor, higher
temperature occurred between irradiance 750 and 850 W/m2. From whole year module temperature monitor data and hot
spot temperatures analysis results, we concluded that thermal stress would be more strong in the summer season and also
recommend that the module should be able to resist peak thermal stress up to 140° C in Taiwan.
"Losing my religion": religion, offending, and incarceration
Creators: name: Montagnet, Chase
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Rationale: Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, this dissertation positions religion as a type of social bond that is consequential for understanding contemporary crime and punishment. Study 1Method: Linear fixed effects models are used to examine the relationship between three multidimensional measures of religiosity (e.g., overall religiosity, public religiosity, and private religiosity) and several forms of crime. Mediation analyses are also conducted to decompose religiosity’s total influence on crime into direct and indirect influences.Results: The results of overall religiosity across substance use, non-violent delinquency, and violent delinquency are mixed. Public religiosity has a statistically significant inverse relationship with substance use, but no relationship with non-violent or violent delinquency. Finally, private religiosity has a statistically significant inverse relationship with substance use, a mixed relationship with non-violent delinquency, and a statistically significant inverse relationship with violent delinquency. The results of the mediation analyses suggest that other social bonds and correlates of crime either partially or completely mediate the relationship between overall religiosity, public religiosity, private religiosity, and crime. Study 2Method: Differences-in-differences models are used to investigate the influence of incarceration on overall religiosity, public religiosity, and private religiosity. Results: Incarceration has a statistically significant impact on an individual’s overall religiosity, public religiosity, and private religiosity. When compared with individuals who were convicted but not incarcerated, incarceration reduces all forms of religious involvement (e.g., overall religiosity, public religiosity, and private religiosity). Similar results were found when the counterfactual was arrested but not convicted or incarcerated. Sensitivity analyses using an incarcerated but not convicted group yield the same results. Finally, heterogeneity analyses found that incarceration reduces overall religiosity and public religiosity for individuals with lower than median overall religiosity and public religiosity values. This influence is only marginally significant for private religiosity.Study 1 & 2Conclusion: Collectively, these two studies provide evidence that religiosity operates as a social bond—buffering individuals from criminal involvement and strained by incarceration. These results highlight the importance of religion in crime and criminal involvement, and the need for criminologists to return to the study of religiosity.

description: Temperature non-uniformity on the surface of PV panel has a major affect on the global
performance of PV systems and directly increases cell resistance which leads to a drop in the
output of the system. In this paper, an experimental performance investigation has been carried
out for non-uniform and uniform cooling techniques for PV panels subjected to the climate of
Saudi Arabia. A uniform cooling technique for PV panels based on impingement cooling device
is proposed to eliminate non-uniform heat transfer across the surface of the PV panel and its
performance is compared with a conventional rectangular channel heat exchanger(RHX).The PV
string’s overall performance was found to be sensitive with the thermal characteristics of the
system. Measurements showed cell temperature as high as 83˚C for PV string without cooling.
By employing impingement cooling, cell temperature was reduced to 37.1˚C whereas
conventional heat exchanger reduced it to 47.4˚C. Conversion efficiency was enhanced by 98.4
% for impingement cooling and 60.6 % for heat exchanger cooling. Economic analysis revealed
that levelized cost of energy (LCE) for uncooled PV was 1.95 (€/kWh) which was reduced to
1.57 (€/kWh) by non-uniform cooling and 1.49 (€/kWh) by uniform cooling. Results reveal that
impingement cooling has not only increased the electrical power output and conversion
efficiency but has reduced the cell temperature while keeping it uniform for each cell.

description: We report experimental results on nonlinear wave coupling in surface wave turbulence on water at scales close to the crossover between surface gravity waves and capillary waves. We study 3-wave correlations either in the frequency domain or in wavevector domain. We observe that in a weakly nonlinear regime, the dominant nonlinear interactions correspond to waves that are collinear or close to collinear. Although the resonant coupling of pure gravity waves is supposed to involve 4 waves, at the capillary crossover we observe a nonlocal coupling between a gravity wave and 2 capillary waves. Furthermore nonlinear spectral spreading permits 3-gravity wave coupling. These observations raise the question of the relevance of these processes in the oceanographic context and in particular the range of frequencies of gravity waves that may be impacted.

description: An experimental performance assessment of thermal and electrical parameters for novel cooling
technique for PV systems called as converging channel is carried out in this study. The study is supported by
economic feasibility study by using levelized cost of energy analysis (LCE) for uncooled and cooled PV systems
installed in Dhahran. Uncertainty analysis for propagation of error was carried out for all the instrumentations and
used in the measurements of significant parameters. The temperature distribution for cooled PV showed an
approximate uniform temperature profile with the average cell temperature reduction to 45.2˚C from 71˚C. The
overall performance of PV system was found to be sensitive to the thermal characteristics. By employing converging
cooling, a significant decrease in the cell temperature of 25.8˚C was achieved. The maximum power output increased
from 11.9 W to 16.2W using converging cooling mechanism. LCE for an uncooled PV systems was found to be
1.95(€/kWh) whereas by applying converging cooling LCE was reduced to 1.57(€/kWh) with a relative percentage
reduction of 19.5 % making it economically feasible. Thus, the proposed cooling system could be employed in the
extreme climatic conditions for proper operation at low cell temperature with uniform temperature distribution.

introduced to the market increasing the number of layout factors. In this paper we present a detailed techno-economic
model to compute the profitability of different PV-battery-setups. All technical parameters as well as current German
regulation and appropriate cost functions especially designed to small systems and derived from an extensive market
survey are taken into account. Rates for self-consumption are determined by a continuous power flow simulation. All
input data is assessed and uncertainties analyzed by means of a Monte Carlo Simulation. A sensitivity analysis finally
identifies the parameters of highest influence. Optimizing self-consumption with batteries is close to being a business
case for electro-chemical storage and this paper provides a detailed analysis of various setups and technologies.

description: Functorial semi-norms on singular homology give refined "size" information on singular homology classes. A fundamental example is the l^1-semi-norm. We show that there exist finite functorial semi-norms on singular homology that are exotic in the sense that they are not carried by the l^1-semi-norm.

description: Application of large scale photo-voltaic installations in remote desert regions – such as the Middle East
and North Africa (MENA) faces a number of challenges: high operating temperatures and UV dose are well known
conditions to take into account in view of product lifetime. On top of that yearly yields are under pressure by a
phenomenon known as soiling, a process in which dust permanently settles on surfaces in regions with low amounts
of rainfall (though moisture is present). Dust built up by the specific interaction with moisture, a process called
cementation, results in a layer which is hard to remove and which can cause a dramatic loss in light transmission and
consequently results in a drop in yearly yield (up to tens of percent’s).
Mitigation strategies to counter this problem include (frequent) manual or automatic cleaning and preventive
measures like anti-soiling coatings. The latter solution would in the ideal case completely prevent soiling. In this
study effectiveness and durability of several anti-soiling coatings is reported, using a reproducible method for
accelerated soiling under laboratory conditions. For durability testing, the focus has been towards abrasion resistance
to simulate the harsh conditions specific for the MENA region (sand storms and dust).

description: Since short-circuit of bypass diodes of PV module causes output reduction and hotospot of PV module,
we have to detect the failure as soon as possible. However, since existing detection technology is affected by
environmental conditions, we propose new detection technology for identifying position of failure using DC power
source and infrared camera. In this detection method, since surface temperature of cells connected to noramal bypass
diode is different from that of cells connected to short-circuit bypass diode, we can find difference of those
temperature with infrared camera. The theoretical merit of this technology is that detection results is not affected by
environmental condition such as irradiation, so on. As the first step of study, we conducted indoor and outdoor tests
and we found the failure position in a minute with 20% current of Isc under the indoor test. However, it was difficult
to find the failure position under outdoor test more than indoor test. Because environment condition affects the
surface temperature of PV modules. Therefore, we have to clear proper curent and time to find failure positions at the
next study.

description: Module hot spot is the crucial reliability issue for massive PV deployment as a major renewable
electricity source. We carry out the statistic analysis from 3.8 million modules over 1GW capacity during the first
five-year system operation. There are total 49 faulty hot spot modules spreading out in 9 of over 1,250 global project
sites with 12.9ppm failure rate. Around 73.5% of failure contribution is due to system install sector. Most faults due
to module and cell sector occur within first two year operation. Main failure modes include hot cell, burning from cell
edge and burnt backsheet, while 69.4% portion of the root cause results from cell cracking induced by frame damage
during system construction. Other root causes are also investigated by detail inspection, and the correlation is
established between analysis result and failure mode. In cell level, experiments validate that increasing shunt
resistance and reducing reversed current effectively suppress module hot spot temperature. In addition, suggestion for
preventing hot spot risk is provided for each sector respectively through whole PV value chain.
Open-cluster density profiles derived using a kernel estimator

description: Surface and spatial radial density profiles in open clusters are derived using a kernel estimator method. Formulae are obtained for the contribution of every star into the spatial density profile. The evaluation of spatial density profiles is tested against open-cluster models from N-body experiments with N = 500. Surface density profiles are derived for seven open clusters (NGC 1502, 1960, 2287, 2516, 2682, 6819 and 6939) using Two-Micron All-Sky Survey data and for different limiting magnitudes. The selection of an optimal kernel half-width is discussed. It is shown that open-cluster radius estimates hardly depend on the kernel half-width. Hints of stellar mass segregation and structural features indicating cluster non-stationarity in the regular force field are found. A comparison with other investigations shows that the data on open-cluster sizes are often underestimated. The existence of an extended corona around the open cluster NGC 6939 was confirmed. A combined function composed of the King density profile for the cluster core and the uniform sphere for the cluster corona is shown to be a better approximation of the surface radial density profile.The King function alone does not reproduce surface density profiles of sample clusters properly. The number of stars, the cluster masses and the tidal radii in the Galactic gravitational field for the sample clusters are estimated. It is shown that NGC 6819 and 6939 are extended beyond their tidal surfaces.

description: Time-resolved photometry is an important new probe of the physics of condensate clouds in extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs. Extreme adaptive optics systems can directly image planets, but precise brightness measurements are challenging. We present VLT/SPHERE high-contrast, time-resolved broad H-band near-infrared photometry for four exoplanets in the HR 8799 system, sampling changes from night to night over five nights with relatively short integrations. The photospheres of these four planets are often modeled by patchy clouds and may show large-amplitude rotational brightness modulations. Our observations provide high-quality images of the system. We present a detailed performance analysis of different data analysis approaches to accurately measure the relative brightnesses of the four exoplanets. We explore the information in satellite spots and demonstrate their use as a proxy for image quality. While the brightness variations of the satellite spots are strongly correlated, we also identify a second-order anti-correlation pattern between the different spots. Our study finds that PCA-based KLIP reduction with satellite spot-modulated artificial planet-injection based photometry (SMAP) leads to a significant (~3x) gain in photometric accuracy over standard aperture-based photometry and reaches 0.1 mag per point accuracy for our dataset, the signal-to-noise of which is limited by small field rotation. Relative planet-to-planet photometry can be compared be- tween nights, enabling observations spanning multiple nights to probe variability. Recent high-quality relative H-band photometry of the b-c planet pair agree to about 1%.

description: The global cumulative solar PV installations reached nearly 200 GW by the end of 2014. Therefore, the
investigation of long-term durability of PV systems is much important. The National Institute of Advanced Industrial
Science and Technology (AIST) has measured the outdoor performance from eight kinds (15 types) of PV arrays in
AIST Kyushu Center. In this study, we focus on bulk crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV modules, because the market share
of bulk c-Si technologies is more than 90% in 2014. We evaluate the annual degradation rates of the performance of
the PV modules by two methods. One method is estimated from the average or total power outputs of all installed c-
Si PV modules, which are measured by a solar simulator once a year. The other method is based on I-V curves of the
PV arrays, which have been measured by I-V curve tracers for outdoor usage every ten minutes since the start of
2013. Both the results based on the indoor and outdoor measurements show that the degradation rates of the ordinal
p-type c-Si PV modules are quite low, although those of the high-efficiency n-type c-Si PV modules tend to be high.
In recent years, new processes, which enhance PV cell efficiencies such as MWT (Metal Wrap Through) and PERC
(Passivated Emitter Rear Cell) technologies, are adopted into commercial PV modules. Therefore, the durability and
reliability of the PV modules with new processes should be investigated by both acceleration tests and actual outdoor
operation.
