description: In the presence of linearly varying frequency chirped laser pulses the photodissociation dynamics of D$_2^+$ is studied theoretically after ionization of D$_{2}$ . As a completion of our recent work (J. Chem. Phys. 143, 014305 (2015)) a comprehensive dependence on the pulse duration and delay time is presented in terms of total dissociation probabilities. Our numerical analysis carried out in the recently introduced light-induced conical intersection (LICI) framework clearly shows the effects of the changing position of the LICI which is induced by the frequency modulation of the chirped laser pulses. This impact is presented for positively, negatively and zero chirped short pulses.

description: Scaling solutions for the effective action in dilaton quantum gravity are investigated within the functional renormalization group approach. We find numerical solutions that connect ultraviolet and infrared fixed points as the ratio between scalar field and renormalization scale $k$ is varied. In the Einstein frame the quantum effective action corresponding to the scaling solutions becomes independent of $k$. The field equations derived from this effective action can be used directly for cosmology. Scale symmetry is spontaneously broken by a non-vanishing cosmological value of the scalar field. For the cosmology corresponding to our scaling solutions, inflation arises naturally. The effective cosmological constant becomes dynamical and vanishes asymptotically as time goes to infinity.

description: In this paper, performance losses and correlated degradation of five different PV systems representing five different PV technologies are investigated. Here, we describe the overall performance loss of a PV system in greater detail to better understand which underlying reasons trigger the performance decline of the investigated PV systems. The plants were installed in 2010, and almost 12 years of system operation are considered. Based on best practices developed by the IEA PVPS Task 13, the linear performance loss rates of all PV systems have been calculated. The results are correlated with corresponding nonlinear performance losses, voltage and current evolution, I-V curves and infrared and luminescence images captured in the field. Overall, it was shown that crystalline-based PV systems experience a lower overall performance loss compared to thin-film systems. The losses in crystalline systems stem from cell mismatches within modules and gradually developing degradation modes such as snail trails and cell cracking. The thin-film systems under investigation are subject to higher performance loss rates, (most) likely triggered by a degradation of the active PV material. Furthermore, glass-glass thin-film modules are additionally exposed to physical stresses by the mounting clamps leading to cracked glass, which may jeopardize the mechanical integrity of the modules.

description: We numerically evaluate the optical performance of an asymmetric low-gain concentrator for 4T bifacial solar modules operating in spectral-splitting (SS) configuration. The optical element is a right-angle-wedged (RAW) dielectric prism that operates as a lightguide, by trapping light through dichroic mirrors and total-internal-reflection. Concentration is active on the visible portion of the solar spectrum. A wide-gap solar cell of suitable technology is supposed to convert visible light, while a bifacial silicon cell converts the near infrared. By a ray-tracing simulation, values for spectrally integrate optical efficiency up to 88.7% and up to 62% are respectively estimated for direct irradiation and sky-diffused light. Solar modules based on the RAW-SS geometry can work trackless. Proper orientation of the modules minimizes ground shading and is therefore appealing for bifacial operation. Possible applications of the single module are in sub-watt indoor PV and Internet-of-Things power suppliers. Multiple replicas of the optical element can be integrated in larger panels for utility-scale plants and building-integrated solutions.

description: Phormia regina Meigen is a forensically relevant species of blow fly, common in North America and used to estimate the minimum postmortem interval in forensic casework. It is also possible to use blow flies to survey the environment for biotic and abiotic information drawn from both larval and adult stages. There are both forensic and environmental uses for genetic analysis of blow flies. Blow fly kinship is especially useful for detecting postmortem movement of a corpse or to assess abundance of carrion in a given location. To test genetic relationships between individuals, discriminatory loci such as microsatellites, or polymorphic tandemly repeated sequences of DNA are necessary. Here, we characterize novel microsatellites generated from the genome of P. regina. Thirty-four candidate polymorphic loci with conserved flanking regions, have been isolated. To date, seven are heterozygous and polymorphic testing in two lab populations and one wild population. The simple sequence repeats characterized here complement existing loci (N = 6) for greater discrimination for testing relationships between individual flies.

This study adopts a quantitative method as the research methodology. Accordingly, a questionnaire was distributed to 156 managers of which 140 were collected with a response rate of 89.7 %. The study employed confirmatory factor analyses. A factor analysis by principal components and Varimax rotation was applied for finding the critical success factors. Finding assign that 21 items are merged in to five critical success factors: process control & recognition and reward accounts for 19.769 % of the variance; employee's attitude and employee participation accounts for 14.538 % of the variance; education and training & effective communication accounts for 11.767% of the variance and ownership, continual evaluation and teamwork accounts for 9.845% of the variance. All the five factors together explain for 76% of the variance in successful kaizen implementation. Validity test result of KMO and Bartlett's result reveals that the postulated factors are valid since KMO values are greater than 0.4 and Sphericity values are significant less than 0.05. Finally, the research recommended that to implement Kaizen on a sustainable basis; the leadership of the factory should be knowledgeable and totally committed to the Kaizen philosophy and principles, the factory should be strength process controlling and establishing recognition and reward system, provide enough education and training for the staffs and the employees should strength there teamwork sprite in the factory.

description: The one-parameter scaling theory of localization predicts that all states in a disordered two-dimensional system with broken time reversal symmetry are localized even in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling. While at constant strong magnetic fields this paradigm fails (recall quantum Hall effect), it is believed to hold at weak magnetic fields. Here we explore the nature of quantum states at weak magnetic field and strongly fluctuating spin-orbit coupling, employing highly accurate numerical procedure based on level spacing distribution and transfer matrix technique combined with finite-size one-parameter scaling hypothesis. Remarkably, the metallic phase, (known to exist at zero magnetic field), persists also at finite (albeit weak) magnetic fields, and eventually crosses over into a critical phase, which has already been confirmed at high magnetic fields. A schematic phase diagram drawn in the energy-magnetic field plane elucidates the occurrence of localized, metallic and critical phases. In addition, it is shown that nearest-level statistics is determined solely by the symmetry parameter $β$ and follows the Wigner surmise irrespective of whether states are metallic or critical.

description: We consider the generalization ability of algorithms for learning to rank at a query level, a problem also called subset ranking. Existing generalization error bounds necessarily degrade as the size of the document list associated with a query increases. We show that such a degradation is not intrinsic to the problem. For several loss functions, including the cross-entropy loss used in the well known ListNet method, there is \emph{no} degradation in generalization ability as document lists become longer. We also provide novel generalization error bounds under $\ell_1$ regularization and faster convergence rates if the loss function is smooth.

Materials for PV Modules, Durability, Reliability and Accelerated Testing Methods

description: In the race of ultra-high performance modules and the integration of novel cell architectures for bifacial configuration, many efforts are required in order to ensure module reliability and maintain low BOM cost, leading to research of new material families and configuration among PV module backsheet. Although, PVF and PET based backsheets are in use since several decades with well-established testing methods [1], new materials, surface treatments and manufacturing methods, such as co-extrusion, are rapidly emerging in the PV backsheets field. Therefore, the new backsheet samples require new testing methods and characterization strategy since their structure and physical properties differ from the commonly used backsheets in PV industry. In this paper, we present a three-stage investigation strategy on nine commercial backsheets intended to be integrated in heterojunction (SHJ) PV modules manufactured by 3SUN [2]. We characterize three different groups of backsheets: first group containing a coextruded PP backsheet, the second group covers PET based backsheets containing aluminum laminated layer and the third group about laminated PET based backsheets without aluminum layer. First stage is material level testing (optical, mechanical, adhesion, water absorption and tensile strength) enabling rapid ranking based on backsheet intrinsic properties. Second stage is accelerated aging testing in mini-module configuration while third stage is full-sized module testing. The material characterization allowed the conclusion that adhesion properties seem to have the most influence on final module behavior while we need to highlight that only the WVTR of backsheet material cannot predict the PV module behavior predictions in DH testing and adhesion strength plays a critical role.

In terms of multi-wire interconnection, the experiments show promising results on extended reliability testing, including thermal cycling, damp heat and humidity freeze as well as UV exposure and hightemperature storage. In terms of encapsulation, we introduce our approach for curved surfaces using a doublemembrane laminator and present results on fabricating curved modules, targeting on the one hand glass-glass sunroofs, on the other hand lighter-weight bonnets.

description: In our contribution we investigate the effect of modern cell concepts and module layouts on the formation of hot spots in partly shaded cells in solar modules under operational conditions. We set up a thermo-electrical model to calculate reverse biasing conditions and the resulting temperature distribution for cells with and without localized reverse current flow for different cell types and module layouts. As an example for a localized hot spot we examine a local shunt with 50 resistance. For the thermal model we assume a glass-glass module with 180 µm thick silicon solar cells. We investigate the effect of module size and layout for CZ-BSF, PERC, TopCon and HJT cells to evaluate the impact, the evolution of solar cell architecture has on the achievable module temperatures as well as the effect of increasing module size. We find, that local hot spot temperatures even of moderate hot spots can easily exceed 200 °C. Such high temperatures will be able to cause melting of encapsulants and may damage interconnection of solar cells in the module in case of low temperature cell concepts. Furthermore, the presence of such high temperature in a module underlines the importance of temperature dependency of reverse current flow for the hot spot behavior in solar modules. We examine the temperature coefficients of reverse resistance of cells with localized hot spots and deduce its impact on final module temperature in the field.

This work evaluates a new approach of arranging the shingle cells, called matrix shingling and discusses advantages and challenges of this technology. An overview of the most crucial process steps to build matrix modules is presented. Cell-to-module (CTM) simulations are used for a profound loss/gain analysis from host cell to module. A comparison between halfcell modules and matrix modules shows the potential of the matrix technology. Glass facade elements for building integrated PV with red MorphoColor® coating are demonstrated to show the potential of this growing field of application.

description: The successful industrialization of a solar cell technology must consider, beside technical and reliability aspects, also the competitiveness of process costs with respect to the main stream solar cell technologies. Since silver component is a considerable part of the cost of ownership of solar cells, the aim of this study is to push the boundaries of silver paste reduction at solar cell level, as well as at ECA interconnection process level. Through our approach we investigate the feasibility of the replacement of silver busbar of the IBC ZEBRA cell with the ECA interconnection line, as well as the interconnection through ECA pads. These variations were tested at established industrial process environments (qualified processes were implemented at TeamTechnik stringers: TT 1400ECA for ECA interconnection and TT2100 for soldered strings). The produced strings we investigated regarding extent of ECA curing, polymer compatibility, mechanical stability, electrical performance and reliability. Through this comprehensive investigation we obtain a clear identification for reliable configurations, which are worth following at further IBC ZEBRA interconnection process developments, as well as the experimentally determined material saving.

description: We present a set of thermomechanical design rules to support and accelerate future PV module developments. The design rules are derived from a comprehensive parameter sensitivity study of different PV module layers and material properties by finite element method simulations. We develop a three-dimensional FEM model, which models the PV module geometry in detail from busbar and ribbons up to the frame including the adhesive. The FEM simulation covers soldering, lamination and mechanical load at various temperatures. The FEM model is validated by mechanical load tests on three 60-cell PV modules. Here, for the first time, stress within a solar cell is measured directly using stress sensors integrated in solar cells (SenSoCells®). The results show good accordance with the simulations. The parameter sensitivity study reveals that there are two critical interactions within a PV module: (1) Between ribbon and solar cell. (2) Between front/back cover and interconnected solar cells. Here, the encapsulant plays a crucial role in how the single layers interact with each other. Therefore, its mechanical properties are essential and four design rules are derived regarding the encapsulant. Also, four design rules concern front and back side and three address the solar cells. Finally, two design rules each deal with module size and frame, espectively. Altogether we derive a set of 15 thermomechanical design rules. As a rule of thumb of how well a bill of material will work from a thermomechanical point of view, we introduce the concept of specific thermal expansion stiffness Ea = E*a*Aj*h as the product of Young’s modulus E, coefficient of thermal expansion a, joint area Aj and materials height . The difference between two materials is a measure of how much thermal strain one material can induce in another. A strong difference means that the material with the larger value will induce thermal strain in the other.

description: This work reports on field data results of energy performance for bifacial crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules in a desert climate. Energy yields of south-facing tilted (22°) and vertical (90°) E-W oriented modules were compared. The main objective is to study energy yield in real operating conditions for soiled and cleaned module and investigate bifacial module especially the vertical configuration as a soiling mitigation approach. For tilted modules, soiling losses increased with time up to 60% and 45% for monofacial and bifacial modules respectively. Generally, in average clean tilted bifacial module slightly (<5.2%) outperformed clean vertical module. However, vertical module outperformed the tilted module by up to 8% during the summer. No significant soiling losses were observed for the vertical module. The results show that bifacial PV is a natural soiling mitigator and vertical module installation is feasible and has a strong potential as a soiling mitigation strategy in desert climates.

These cell lines have been used to generate SLC-knockout and SLC-overexpressing single cell clones. Additionally, Jump-In T-REx HEK293 cells will be used for generating SLC-overexpression cell lines. In order to characterize the expressed proteome of these parental cell lines, we performed extensive proteomic profiling.

description: Within this work, the influence of infrared (IR) light on bifacial n-type silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells is investigated, with the focus on the industrial IR soldering process. The EL images and I-V parameters of industrial SHJ cells are compared before and after treatment with IR light. The temperature-time-profile of this thermal treatment is varied according to established soldering profiles used in silicon photovoltaics, reaching peak temperatures above 200 °C. As a result, a reliable process window for the interconnection process of SHJ solar cells is identified (max. 250 °C, max. 6 s), where thermal degradation is avoided and even slight improvements of the cell performance are observed (AVoc = +1.9 mV, AFF = +0.3 %, An= +0.1 %). Overall, these investigations demonstrate the feasibility of the established IR soldering process for SHJ solar cells during module integration and therefore extend the range of usable process options for a broad deployment of SHJ modules

description: The implementation of energy rating of photovoltaic modules based on IEC-61853 imposes challenges to developers of PV module technology. In response, we present how a simulation-based analysis methodology, adapted for non-STC conditions, can be used to obtain all information needed for determining a virtual Climate Specific Energy Rating (vCSER), namely: a power matrix, the spectral response, the angular loss, and heat transfer coefficients. A conventional full-cell module and a “butterfly” half-cell topology are used to exemplify how the proposed method can be used to identify gain and loss factors of a module design affecting the performance of each module in terms of rated energy yield per area and Climate Specific Energy Rating (CSER). Recommendations for improving the module design are ranked and discussed, based on a sensitivity analysis on eleven parameters.

description: The energy rating IEC 61853 Standard series “Photovoltaic (PV) module performance testing and energy rating” provides a standardized measure of the performance of PV devices considering real working conditions of ambient temperature and irradiation, representative of worldwide reference climates relevant for PV installations. The Climatic Specific Energy Rating (CSER) parameter defined in the standard could serve as a tool for the comparison of PV technologies and devices. The scope of this paper is the validation of the ability of the CSER to differentiate between PV technologies and devices of the same technology, evaluating how much of the observed differences are due to uncertainties in the estimation chain or input data other than the result of the intrinsic behavior of the considered devices. Ten devices representative of commercially available PV devices have been analyzed. The observed differences, higher than the associated uncertainty in the estimation of the CSER parameter, indicates the ability of the standard to differentiate between different technologies and devices of the same technology. Furthermore, the variability in the estimated performance depends on the climatic conditions.
Solar irradiance changes and phytoplankton productivity in Earth's ocean following astrophysical ionizing radiation events

description: Two atmospheric responses to simulated astrophysical ionizing radiation events significant to life on Earth are production of odd-nitrogen species, especially NO2, and subsequent depletion of stratospheric ozone. Ozone depletion increases incident short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation (UVB, 280-315 nm) and longer ( > 600 nm) wavelengths of photosynthetically available radiation (PAR, 400 -700 nm). On the other hand, the NO2 haze decreases atmospheric transmission in the long-wavelength UVA (315-400 nm) and short wavelength PAR. Here we use the results of previous simulations of incident spectral irradiance following an ionizing radiation event to predict changes in Terran productivity focusing on photosynthesis of marine phytoplankton. The prediction is based on a spectral model of photosynthetic response developed for the dominant genera in central regions of the ocean (Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus), and remote-sensing based observations of spectral water transparency, temperature, wind speed and mixed layer depth. Predicted productivity declined after a simulated ionizing event, but the effect integrated over the water column was small. For integrations taking into account the full depth range of PAR transmission (down to 0.1% of utilizable PAR), the decrease was at most 2-3% (depending on strain), with larger effects (5-7%) for integrations just to the depth of the surface mixed layer. The deeper integrations were most affected by the decreased utilizable PAR at depth due to the NO2 haze, whereas shallower integrations were most affected by the increased surface UV.

description: Predicting the power production of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels is necessary for successful commissioning and operation of PV power systems. Lifetime estimations are required to analyze commercial viability of the planned PV system, whereas hourly and daily production estimations are important considering operation in the electricity market. Here, a specific setup, consisting of vertically mounted bifacial solar panels in a high-latitude location, is monitored. Measured power production is compared to modelled productions achieved by several simple modelling approaches. The aim is to analyze how specific and high-quality data is actually needed to model accurately the total energy production in several temporal scales, ranging from one-minute to multi-year. The results help to understand the required complicity for pre-installation production estimations and thus contribute to increasing bankability of vertical bifacial PV systems.

The effect of the color or print on the performance is in most cases determined by making a sample and measuring the performance or by estimating the performance based on experience. Here we present a model that calculates the effect of the print on the current density of the cells. With this, the overall module performance can be determined.The model parameters are determined by fitting the model to measurements on single cell laminates with a monochromatic color. Next the model is validated using the print files and measured data of full color prints and interconnected cells. The results show that a very good match is obtained between the model and the measurements.

PV Module Performance – Modelling, Testing, Standards

description: 8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion; 517-519
description: Simulations and modelling are very important in order to estimate the produced energy of photovoltaic systems, which helps its management and optimization. This work presents the development of a reliable deep learning PV temperature prediction model based on experimental data. The model performance is evaluated from the data of two different sites with different climates and compared with state-of-the-art models. The results show that the developed model provides very accurate and stable estimations for 1-minute data (MAE 1.03°C, RMSE 1.34°C) on the first site, but it shows weaker performance when tested in a different climate and different mounting conditions, especially during weather patterns that have not been included in its training. The comparative analysis shows that the developed model outperforms the other examined models on PV temperature estimations, yet the coefficients translate poorly for other climates: the developed model must be calibrated for each site for optimal results. Data-driven models developed for universal usage must contain a wide range of possible meteorological cases.

description: The idea of single exomoon detection due to the radio emissions caused by its interaction with the host exoplanet is extended to multiple-exomoon systems. The characteristic radio emissions are made possible in part by plasma from the exomoons own ionosphere (Noyola et. al. 2014). In this work, it is demonstrated that neighboring exomoons and the exoplanetary magnetosphere could also provide enough plasma to generate a detectable signal. In particular, the plasma-torus-sharing phenomenon is found to be particularly well suited to facilitate the radio detection of plasma-deficient exomoons. The efficiency of this process is evaluated, and the predicted power and frequency of the resulting radio signals are presented.

description: Shading of PV modules is known as a common reason for underperforming of PV installations, especially in roof top installations. With increasing total installation goals necessary for the energy transition, more and more less favorable (roof) installation sites come into focus. There is an awareness about the impact of shading situations on the overall output power and an increased number of PV modules claimed to be shading resistant are found on the market. Nevertheless, shading resistance is not well defined and lacks a fair, understandable, and reproducible comparability measure. In our contribution, we present a robust and pragmatic classification for the shading resistance of PV modules. We therefore developed a rating scheme and use it in a way that can easily be conducted with a standard solar simulator or an outdoor test stand, and commercially available shading materials, respectively. In addition, we propose classification intervals in a way that typical and already available technologies fall within reasonable classes.

description: The technological drive of humanity to explore the cosmos, travel at hypersonic speeds, and pursue clean energy solutions requires ceramic scientists and engineers to constantly push materials to their functional, behavioral, and chemical extremes. Ultra-high temperature ceramics, and particularly transition metal carbides, are promising materials to meet the demands of extreme environment materials with their >4000 °C melting temperature and impressive thermomechanical behaviors in extreme conditions. The advent of the 2D version of these transition metal carbides, known as MXenes, added a new direction to design transition metal carbides for energy, catalysis, flexible electronics, and other applications. Toward extreme conditions, although MXenes remain yet unexplored, we believe that the ~1 nm flakes of MXenes gives ceramics scientists and engineers the ability to truly engineer transition metal carbides layer-by-layer at the nanoscale to endure the extreme conditions required by future harsh environment technology. Although MXenes have this inherent promise, fundamental study of their behavior in high-temperature environments is necessary to understand how their chemistry and 2D nature affects the high-temperature stability and phase behavior of MXenes toward application in extreme environments.In this dissertation, we investigate the high-temperature phase behavior of 2D MXenes in high temperature inert environments to understand the stability and phase transition behavior of MXenes. In this work, we demonstrate that 1) MXenes’ transition at high-temperatures is to highly textured transition metal carbides is due to the homoepitaxial growth of these phases onto ~1-nm-thick MXenes’ highly exposed basal plane, 2) the MXene to MXene interface plays a major role in the phase behavior of MXenes, particularly toward building layered transition metal carbides using MXenes as ~1-nm-thick building blocks, and 3) Defects are the primary site at which atomic migration begins during phase transition of MXenes into these highly textured transition metal carbides, and these defects can be engineered for different phase stability of MXenes. To do so, we investigate the phase behavior of Ti3C2Tx, Ta4C3Tx, Mo2TiC2Tx, and other MXenes using a combination of in situ x-ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy and other ex situ methods, such as secondary ion mass spectrometry and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, with other methods. By investigating the fundamentals of the high-temperature phase behavior of MXenes, we hope to establish the basic principles behind use of MXenes as the ideal material for application in future extreme environments.

description: Determining the performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules accurately and in different operational states is key for evaluating their value and basic requirements for yield assessments and bankability considerations. In this publication, we share our experience from the last 10 years of performance measurements and module calibrations at the CalLab PV Modules of Fraunhofer ISE. Our dataset of STC results comprises 61060 modules from 739 different manufacturers (3548 different module types) from North America, Europe, and Asia. We thereby present a valuable reference for various stakeholders in the PV community summarizing changes in performance and efficiency over time. Furthermore, we present and discuss technology trends, including the effect of module design aspects such as number of ribbons, wafer size, number of cells and cell technology on the performance at standard conditions, module parameters such as temperature coefficient and low light performance.

description: This protocol is used to transpose the gene of interest that was previously cloned into pHTBV1.1 vector into a bacmid which is eventually used to transfect Sf9 insect cells for viral particle generation. The pHTBV1.1 vector is transformed into DH10BacTM competent E. coli cells. DH10BacTM cells contain a parent bacmid with a lacZ-mini-attTn7 fusion. Transposition occurs between the elements of the pHTBV1.1 vector and the parent bacmid in the presence of the transposition proteins provided by a helper plasmid. When the transposition is successful, the expression cassette disrupts the lacZ gene which helps visualize the new expression bacmid- containing cells as white bacterial colonies.
