description: To maximize the value of vaccine safety data in clinical trials given their relatively limited sample size, it is essential to standardize their collection, presentation and analysis when possible. Given serious adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) are fortuitously rare, this need for globally accepted standard case definitions that allow for valid comparisons extend to individual case reports, surveillance systems, and retrospective epidemiologic studies. This need for standardization was recognized by Dr. Robert Chen at a vaccine conference in Brighton, England in 1999. Harald Heijbel, Ulrich Heininger, Tom Jefferson, and Elisabeth Loupi joined his call one year later to launch the Brighton Collaboration as an international voluntary organization, now with more than 750 scientific experts. It aims to facilitate the development, evaluation and dissemination of high-quality information about the safety of human vaccines. The goals of the Brighton Collaboration in the domain of case definitions have been to: 1. Develop standardized case definitions for specific AEFI’s. 2. Prepare guidelines for their data collection, analysis and presentation for global use. 3. Develop and implement study protocols for evaluation of case definitions and guidelines in clinical trials and surveillance systems. 4. Raise global awareness of their availability and to educate about their benefit, monitor their global use, and facilitate access. Safety monitoring during clinical trials is a crucial component for vaccine development. Before a vaccine can receive regulatory approval for marketing, rigorous safety monitoring and reporting is required. In the CEPI funded vaccine development programs, the CEPI funded developers are the sponsors and responsible for safety monitoring of their products and have the responsibility to comply with regulatory requirements. Since CEPI funds several developers that develop vaccines for the same target, using different vaccines and platforms, harmonization of safety monitoring is essential to allow for meaningful analysis and interpretation of the safety profiles of CEPI funded vaccines. CEPI has contracted with the Brighton Collaboration, through the Task Force for Global Health, to harmonize the safety assessment of CEPI-funded vaccines via its Safety Platform for Emergency vACcines(SPEAC) Project. As part of its landscape analysis of Rift Valley Fever (RVF), this document describes the methods and results SPEAC used to arrive at the list of adverse events of special interest (AESI).

description: CEPI has contracted with the Brighton Collaboration, through the Task Force for Global Health, to harmonize the safety assessment of CEPI-funded vaccines via its Safety Platform for Emergency vACcines (SPEAC) Project. A key aspect of this harmonization has been creation of lists of priority potential adverse events of special interest (AESI) that are relevant to vaccines targeting CEPI target diseases. The primary objective is to present the first quarterly update for the COVID-19 AESI priority list. A detailed description of changes to the ongoing search strategy is included. This was necessitated by the huge volume of new publications on all aspects of COVID-19 spread, clinical presentation, complications, treatment and prevention.

description: At present, energy grids (electricity, heating/cooling, gas) still mainly operate independently and do not make use of
synergies between them. Although interactions and synergies are increasingly apparent, they neither have been
comprehensively analysed nor implemented in practise. The optimisation of such synergies is under investigation in the
OrPHEuS project, which has the aim of improving the cooperation among energy grids enabling, at the same time, high
renewable resources penetration and customer satisfaction. Overall, the technology innovation of the OrPHEuS project is
related to the provisioning of a cross-domain multi-utility energy management system. The system targets an increase of
efficiency for renewable energy generation and minimizes the overall energy demand and CO2 emissions in smart cities by
exploiting a higher level of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in all energy systems.

description: Sustained public support will prove vital in harnessing the opportunities offered by competitive
photovoltaics. Rather than appeal to consumers directly, our project opens the dialogue with their children.
Prometeruse takes the form of a citizen science experiment in which teenagers report the carbon footprint of their
school and race to reduce it using means that include rooftop photovoltaics. A network of academics active in the
energy and climate sciences provide the teachers in our participating schools with course material that draws the link between the technologies tested on campus, the macroeconomic policies enacted by governments and the lifestyle choices made by households. This year, the pilot phase of our project has brought six schools together across France and Germany. Its participants are releasing rare energy consumption data into the public domain, demonstrably improving their grasp of sustainable development and eagerly adopting technologies such as smart meters for their personal use. If such interest can be extended to schools across all 28 Member States, tomorrow’s consumers and taxpayers could make the difference in navigating Europe through its 2050 Energy Roadmap.

description: Entanglement is a fundamental feature of quantum physics and a key resource for quantum communication, computing and sensing. Entangled states are fragile and maintaining coherence is a central challenge in quantum information processing. Nevertheless, entanglement can be generated and stabilised through dissipative processes. In fact, entanglement has been shown to exist in the steady state of certain interacting quantum systems subject solely to incoherent coupling to thermal baths. This has been demonstrated in a range of bi- and multipartite settings using systems of finite dimension. Here we focus on the steady state of infinite-dimensional bosonic systems. Specifically, we consider any set of bosonic modes undergoing excitation-number-preserving interactions of arbitrary strength and divided between an arbitrary number of parties that each couple weakly to thermal baths at different temperatures. We show that a unique steady state is always separable.

description: Recently, there have been several concerted international efforts - the BRAIN initiative, European Human Brain Project and the Human Connectome Project, to name a few - that hope to revolutionize our understanding of the connected brain. Over the past two decades, functional neuroimaging has emerged as the predominant technique in systems neuroscience. This is foreshadowed by an ever increasing number of publications on functional connectivity, causal modeling, connectomics, and multivariate analyses of distributed patterns of brain responses. In this article, we summarize pedagogically the (deep) history of brain mapping. We will highlight the theoretical advances made in the (dynamic) causal modelling of brain function - that may have escaped the wider audience of this article - and provide a brief overview of recent developments and interesting clinical applications. We hope that this article will engage the signal processing community by showcasing the inherently multidisciplinary nature of this important topic and the intriguing questions that are being addressed.

description: The installed capacity of photovoltaics (PV) is rising steadily. Most PV is installed in highly electrified countries as on-grid systems. Further, there is an increasing number of emerging markets that show high growth rates and a relevant installed PV base. However, reliable installation rates for PV are available only for a small number of countries. Not only in emerging markets, even for some developed countries exact numbers of cumulative PV installation are rarely available. For the end of 2015 IRENA reports 222,360 MWp of globally installed PV capacity, giving clear national specific data for 117 countries. IEA PVPS provides a number of 227,100 MWp installed by providing detailed data for 36 countries.
This paper gives an overview of installed PV capacities for all countries in the world and incl based on the examination of publically accessible data. Furthermore, an analysis of the development of cumulative PV installations in recent years is given. Resulting from this evaluation, PV installations are localized in 196 countries, representing 230,046 MWp.

description: Photovoltaics (PV) has become one of the cheapest forms of electricity production during the past few years. The Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of PV has already reached grid parity with retail electricity price in many markets. However, the concept of grid parity is not always well defined. In this paper, the retail electricity price includes only the variable (per kWh) components in the customer bill since the fixed monthly or annual fees cannot be saved by the prosumer. Furthermore, the ratio of self-consumption of own production has to be taken into consideration. Self-consumption is valued for the variable electricity retail price, whereas the surplus production can often be valued only for the wholesale electricity price or part of it. True grid parity or competitiveness has already been reached in many European countries like Germany and Italy with all realistic Weighted Average Costs of Capital (WACC) and self-consumption ratios. In moderate irradiation and low electricity price markets like Finland and Sweden, true grid parity in rooftop segments will be reached most probably within 3-10 years without any subsidies. The work for this paper has been carried out under the framework of the EU PV Technology and Innovation Platform.

description: Over half of the rural population in Ethiopia still lack access to water. To improve access, the use of
solar and wind energy for water pumping is an attractive option in the rural areas since over 83% of the population
has no access to the electric grid to power mechanical water pumps. The purpose of this project is therefore to
promote and pilot the use of solar and wind energy for water pumping in rural areas of Ethiopia, and so initiate
development of a long term investment in these technologies under the Government’s Universal Access Programme
(UAP) where they are appropriate and the most suitable. The Pilot project has become necessary to address the
design, implementation and support issues of solar & wind pump systems, and to plan for future expansion phases of
this component of the UAP. The challenge for the Pilot project will be to go beyond infrastructure (hardware)
provision, and is also to develop capacities and mature the market for these technologies to be sustainable.

description: Modeling for optimum sizing of the array for operating a Solar pump is done for the composite climatic zone of India based on the most favorable sub system efficiency and flow rate for a particular Solar pump. The sizing of the array should be such that the solar pump operates in its most favorable region of performance for most of the time for a particular site. The performance of a particular SPV array technology can be characterized by its performance ratio at that particular site.
RANDOM COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS: MEAN FIELD AND FINITE-DIMENSIONAL RESULTS

Year: 2018

description: Until the introduction of the first spin glass model by Edwards and Anderson in 1975, the research area of disordered systems has undergone a huge progress, thanks to the introduction of new analytical techniques and numerical tools, as long as the development of novel concepts and ideas. In particular, the rich phenomenology found by the extensive study of mean field spin glass models, not only proved to be the basis for an explanation of many different physical phenomena and permitted to strengthen the traditional relationship between physics and mathematics, but also it allowed physicist to apply those concepts to research areas that were thought to be completely disconnected from physics before. In this thesis I will analyze combinatorial optimization problems, from a physics point of view. In the first two chapters I will review some basic notions of statistical physics of disordered systems, such as random graph theory, the mean-field approximation, spin glasses and combinatorial optimization. The replica method will also be introduced and applied to the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, one of the simplest mean-field models of spin-glasses. The second part of the thesis deals with mean-field combinatorial optimization problems. The attention will be focused on finite-size corrections of random integer matching problems (chapter 3) and fractional ones (chapter 4). In chapter 5 I will discuss a very general relation connecting multi-overlaps and the moments of the cavity magnetization distribution. In the third part the Euclidean counterparts of random optimization problems are considered. I will start solving the traveling-salesman-problem (TSP) in one dimension both in its bipartite and monopartite version (chapter 6). In chapter 7 I will discuss the possible optimal solutions of the 2-factor problem. In chapter 8 I will solve the bipartite TSP in two dimensions, in the limit of large number of points. Chapter 9 contain some conclusions.

description: We study the lowest energy configurations of an equimolar binary mixture of classical pointlike particles with charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$, such that $q=Q_2/Q_1\in [0,1]$. The particles interact pairwisely via 3D Coulomb potential and are confined to a 2D plane with a homogeneous neutralizing background charge density. In a recent paper by M. Antlanger and G. Kahl [Cond. Mat. Phys. {\bf 16}, 43501 (2013)], using numerical computations based on evolutionary algorithm, six fully mixed structures were identified for $0\le q\lesssim 0.59$, while the separation of $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ pure hexagonal phases minimizes the energy for $0.59\lesssim q<1$. Here, we introduce a novel structure which consists in the separation of two phases, the pure hexagonal one formed by a fraction of particles with the larger charge $Q_1$ and the other fixed one containing different numbers of $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ charges. Using an analytic method based on an expansion of the interaction energy in Misra functions we show that this novel structure provides the lowest energy in two intervals of $q$ values, $0

description: Solar energy is being in various ways worldwide to provide access to electricity in off-grid, especially rural areas. The current works aims to study the impact of community-led solar energy in low-resource settings in remote villages in Sunderbans, on the Bay of Bengal coast of West Bengal in India. The study analyzes how solar lanterns which were deployed to replace kerosene lamps for education became helpful in more ways than the intended outcome. The model of community-led and maintained solar power helped in finding new livelihood and income sources by solar entrepreneurs, in charge of maintaining and renting out lanterns after charging them daily. Further these lanterns helped in small businesses in the area to operate with a safer light source than fire lamp. Thus the intervention became an example of holistic approach to development of the low-resource community. Studying the results of this project might help to inform other such projects being planned in similar low-resource contexts. Further, the metrics of how solar energy intervention is connected to development can help policy makers and government institute suitable programmes.

description: SPEAC has completed a 4th update of the COVID-19 clinical literature covering the period from November 2020 – August 2021. The primary objectives were to review the evidence on the following outcomes: Long COVID (Part 1) Acute cardiac injury other than myocarditis/pericarditis; Maternal, foetal and neonatal outcomes; Paediatric and adult COVID-19 related complications; System-specific COVID-19 complications. For this update, the search focused on meta-analyses and reviews and excluded case reports, case series, studies, guidelines and commentaries. The system specific annexes from previous reports have been updated with the newly published meta-analyses and reviews. New annexes have been added for specific populations: adult, paediatric, pregnant/foetal/neonatal. Based on this review, SPEAC recommends that: Long COVID should not be added to the COVID-19 AESI list at the present time and continued review of the evidence on Long COVID should be a focused activity of the fifth update. Beyond myocarditis and pericarditis, for which Brighton case definitions have been completed, no new case definitions need to be created for the other acute cardiac injuries. No maternal, foetal or neonatal outcomes will be added at this time to the COVID-19 AESI list. No new AESI will be added to the COVID-19 AESI list related to COVID-19 course and complications in children or adults. No new system-specific AESIs will be added to the COVID-19 AESI list. The next update (fifth update due December 2021) will use the same methods as described for this update to focus on new evidence related to Long COVID, Pregnancy and perinatal outcomes, paediatric course and complications and system specific AESIs or those seen in adult populations. The COVID-19 AESI list, as published in the 3rd update of December 2020, remains the same. Summaries are provided in body system specific annexes to the deliverable. As well, all citations in full along with PMID links are included in a spreadsheet that has separate tabs by body system. For pregnancy there are three tabs: one with all citations including PMID links similar to other tabs; a second that provides summaries of all the meta-analyses and systematic reviews included in the 4th update; and a third tab that cross tabulates all studies referenced by any meta-analysis and/or systematic review, against the meta-analyses and systematic reviews included in the fourth update.

description: India has six different climatic zones and some climatic zones have higher occurrence of lower irradiance range through- out the year. However, there are possibilities of deployment of solar water pump for irrigation and drinking water purpose. It has been observed that for cloudy regions of India maximum occurrence in terms of energy falls within irradiance range 600-850 W/m2, ambient temperature range 25-350C. Usually performances of the SPV water pump system are designed and analyzed at high radiation level but it needs to be studied at low radiation also. This will help for the selection of suitable pump and optimized sizing of the array size in case of cloudy and subtropical climatic zones.

description: As mobile services are shifting from "connection-centric" communications to "content-centric" communications, content-centric wireless networking emerges as a promising paradigm to evolve the current network architecture. Caching popular content at the wireless edge, including base stations (BSs) and user terminals (UTs), provides an effective approach to alleviate the heavy burden on backhaul links, as well as lowering delays and deployment costs. In contrast to wired networks, a unique characteristic of content-centric wireless networks (CCWNs) is the mobility of mobile users. While it has rarely been considered by existing works in caching design, user mobility contains various helpful side information that can be exploited to improve caching efficiency at both BSs and UTs. In this paper, we present a general framework on mobility-aware caching in CCWNs. Key properties of user mobility patterns that are useful for content caching will be firstly identified, and then different design methodologies for mobility-aware caching will be proposed. Moreover, two design examples will be provided to illustrate the proposed framework in details, and interesting future research directions will be identified.

description: Marrakesh city has known an increasing of based-fuel tricycles. This is due to the difficult access to some narrow districts and its compacted size. The mean problem in this case is the pollution and noise. In this paper, an electric tricycle was equipped with solar panels to show their impact on the battery state of charge (SOC). Using regenerative braking was also analyzed. Based on different resistive forces on the vehicle, simulations of different parameters are presented including the battery state of charge. A proposed topology to rely different components is also discussed to get more range and more robustness during the operating periods. Two daily paths of a tricycle in Marrakech city was used in simulations, one for touristic uses, while the other is for goods transportation. Results has shown that this vehicle range has increased when using solar panels as additional source of power and the regenerative braking when the path is filled with braking phases.

description: This dissertation examines the A? commentary on Horace?s Odes, which represents the most ancient part of the so-called Pseudo-Acro; it is transmitted by the codex Parisinus Latinus 7900A. My analysis starts with some preliminary inquiries about the different parts of the commentary, their date and the identity of the scholars involved. Then, I focus on the connections between the A? commentary and the works of Porphyrio and Servius, searching for similar contents and a similar exegetical approach. Despite Porphyrio?s text is the only other Horatian commentary survived, Pseudo-Acro is more close to Servius? exegesis. The majority of my thesis is constituted by a thematic analysis of A? commentary. I have divided the pseudacronian notes into nine categories: grammatical, rhetoric, biographical, historical, geographical, mythological, literary, philosophical and religious. For each theme, I have investigated the form and the content of the pseudacronian annotations, paying specific attention to their relationship with Porphyrio?s text and other late antique commentaries on Virgil, Lucan, Persius, Statius and Iuvenal. Thus I have defined which information was considered essential by a late antique commentator to understand Horace?s text, and what method of interpretation was taught in the late antique school.

description: We present the interpretable meta neural ordinary differential equation (iMODE) method to rapidly learn generalizable (i.e., not parameter-specific) dynamics from trajectories of multiple dynamical systems that vary in their physical parameters. The iMODE method learns meta-knowledge, the functional variations of the force field of dynamical system instances without knowing the physical parameters, by adopting a bi-level optimization framework: an outer level capturing the common force field form among studied dynamical system instances and an inner level adapting to individual system instances. A priori physical knowledge can be conveniently embedded in the neural network architecture as inductive bias, such as conservative force field and Euclidean symmetry. With the learned meta-knowledge, iMODE can model an unseen system within seconds, and inversely reveal knowledge on the physical parameters of a system, or as a Neural Gauge to "measure" the physical parameters of an unseen system with observed trajectories. We test the validity of the iMODE method on bistable, double pendulum, Van der Pol, Slinky, and reaction-diffusion systems.

description: Utilization of solar energy in water pumping is one of the most economically viable photovoltaic (PV) applications especially in remote areas. The accurate sizing of PV array is essential, as under sizing will make the pumping system unable to satisfy the water demand. On the other hand, over sizing of PV array leads to extra cost. This paper presents a novel approach for sizing the PV array of water pumping systems. This approach depends on the solar irradiance data of the shortest sunny day over the year to increase the reliability of pumping system. This approach depends on determining the proper starting value of the solar irradiance on the global solar radiation curve for tilted or moving surfaces. A design algorithm has been proposed for applying this approach including the converting process of solar radiation values from horizontal surface to tilted surface. A case study from Buraydah city in the middle of Saudi Arabia has been selected for applying the sizing approach.

description: This research focuses on the Sicilian police during the Garibaldian dictatorship of 1860 and analyses how the ?red shirts? ruled the island. The goal of this work is to retrace continuities and discontinuities of local control, public order and police service during the construction of the modern Italian state. The new Sicilian revolution brought about the collapse of the Bourbon regime in Sicily and the beginning of a deep social and political crisis all over the country. Therefore, the main goal of the local administration was to guarantee public order and respect for the law. In order to gain the support of local elites, the administration had to achieve a new social and political balance based on a national outlook. New practical instruments to rule the country were developed alongside existing military ones. This thesis provides a different interpretation of the history of the Garibaldian dictatorship through the ?police prism?, in an effort to understand the complexity of the Sicilian context. In the end, this work underpins new elements that are useful to grasp the key moment of the Italian Unification and suggests a different interpretation of this phenomenon compared to the traditional analysis of the subject.

description: This paper discusses some of the major challenges in the development of L2L (Light-2-Light) products. It’s the lack of efficient converter electronics, modelling tools for dimensioning and furthermore, characterization facilities to support the successful development of the products. We report the development of 2 Three-Port-Converters respectively for 1-10Wp with a peak efficiency of 99.1% at 1.5 W output power at PV to battery and almost similar characteristics for a 10-50 Wp. Furthermore, a modelling tool for L2L products has been developed and a laboratory for feeding in component data not available in the datasheets to the model is described. A living lab facility is realized to field test prototypes of L2L lighting products in their development state to validate the modelling tool and tweak the parameters in the system for optimized performance the product. Finally, the model was validated against a field test from the living lab over a four-day period with an offset of 5.3 %.
On net zero GHG emission targets for climate protection in cities: More questions than answers?

description: Two separate, but interacting, global agendas are now leading to new, additional requirements for the future development of cities: The UN Agenda 2030, putting cities at the heart of sustainable urban development with its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11, and the Paris Agreement COP21 adopting the 1.5 °C target as a basis for global emissions reductions. Regulators and researchers have widely recognized the necessity to put cities, as an important object of assessment, and city authorities, as an important actor group, at the core of climate mitigation efforts. For cities themselves this topic becomes a factor of competition among peers. In their pursuit of a low carbon future, however, they are confronted with a number of theoretical and practical questions regarding target setting and subsequent planning for mitigation. As a contribution to the current discussion, the paper initially clarifies on which principles the allocation and accounting of city-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are typically based. A good understanding of the GHG sources and reduction potentials is essential for defining feasible targets and designing efficacious reduction strategies. Built on this, the paper then presents how climate targets are defined at city level and analyses the methodological considerations that arise in the case of target-setting approaches involving bringing the emissions balance to zero. Although first definitions of "net zero emission" concepts on an urban scale can be found in literature, their precise meaning and applicability still remain vague, with unclear system boundaries, calculation and assessment rules. This paper provides a definition framework for clarifying such concepts.

description: La conversione epigenetica � una tecnica promettente che consente ad una cellula somatica matura di passare ad un fenotipo funzionale diverso ed alternativo rispetto a quello di origine. Questo risultato viene perseguito senza alcuna modificazione transgenica e senza l'acquisizione di uno stato di pluripotenza stabile e irreversibile, caratteristiche che rendono questo approccio molto prezioso per la medicina rigenerativa. Il protocollo di conversione epigenetica � robusto, riproducibile e assicura una buona efficienza ed il conseguimento di un fenotipo funzionale. Tuttavia, le cellule ottenute non sono completamente mature e differenziate ed � necessario identificare le migliori condizioni per realizzare uno ?scale-up? che permetta l?applicazione in studi preclinici. Lo scopo del presente progetto di dottorato � stato quello di individuare condizioni di coltura fisiologiche, limitando le differenze tra l?ambiente in vitro e quello in vivo, al fine di aumentare l'efficienza del processo di differenziamento. Pi� precisamente, sono state testate concentrazioni fisiologiche di ossigeno e di glucosio per poter valutare l?efficienza di conversione cellulare nei diversi ambienti. Parallelamente, � stato valutato l'uso di sistemi di coltura tridimensionale (3D), con lo scopo di studiare il loro impatto sull?efficienza di conversione e sull'acquisizione di un fenotipo funzionale e maturo. I dati ottenuti suggeriscono che il ?background genetico? ha un effetto significativo sulla risposta cellulare alle diverse condizioni di ossigeno durante il processo di differenziamento. D?altro canto, l'efficienza di conversione � risultata strettamente dipendente dalle concentrazioni di glucosio utilizzate durante l?isolamento delle cellule dal tessuto di origine. Inoltre, l?utilizzo di sistemi di coltura 3D, che riflettono la rigidit� e l?elasticit� proprie dell'organo in vivo, ha dimostrato un effetto positivo per l'acquisizione di un fenotipo pancreatico maturo, tipico delle cellule terminalmente differenziate. Infine, le informazioni molecolari ottenute dagli esperimenti di ?genome editing? (ancora in corso) dovrebbero ulteriormente chiarire e corroborare i dati ottenuti. Complessivamente, i risultati di questa tesi possono fornire informazioni utili sia per la comprensione dei meccanismi di base che regolano la crescita e il differenziamento cellulare, cos� come per la messa a punto di un protocollo di ?scale-up? da utilizzare nella realizzazione di studi preclinici finalizzati alla medicina rigenerativa del diabete.

description: The generation and control of nanoscale magnetic fields are of fundamental interest in material science and a wide range of applications. Nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging quantum spintronics for example require single spin control with high precision and nanoscale spatial resolution using fast switchable magnetic fields with large gradients. Yet, characterizing those fields on nanometer length scales at high band width with arbitrary orientation has not been possible so far. Here we demonstrate single electron and nuclear spin coherent control using the magnetic field of a hard disc drive write head. We use single electron spins for measuring fields with high spatial resolution and single nuclear spins for large band width measurements. We are able to derive field profiles from coherent spin Rabi oscillations close to GHz in fields with gradients of up to 10 mT/nm and measure all components of a static and dynamic magnetic field independent of its orientation. Our method paves the way for precision measurement of the magnetic fields of nanoscale write heads important for future miniaturization of the devices.

description: A BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) is essentially PV integrated as a building envelope (roof, wall, façade,
and fenestration) regulating indoor thermal comfort and generating on-site energy. Tropical regions are solar rich
(>4 kWH/m2/day) and generally warmer (20~30°C) and impose a specific need for preventing indoor heat build-up and increased
natural ventilation. Roofs have been found to be the single largest contributor of indoor heat gain, and with PV integration this
gain is amplified due to low thermal mass and higher radiation. This results in a stratified temperature gradient between the (PV)
roof and the floor below in conjunction with a higher natural buoyancy of warm air below the PV panel.
In tropical conditions, PV performance is characterized by higher a higher operating temperature that is generally detrimental to its
efficiency and aggravates indoor heat buildup when integrated as the roof. The interplay between indoor thermal comfort and PV
performance needs to be carefully investigated particularly the influence of stratified indoor temperature on thermal comfort and
the natural buoyancy induced ventilation on PV performance. The current study is an experimental investigation into a 5.25 kWp
roof integrated BIPV lab (see Figure 1) located at the campus of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (India).
