description: As rescue workers are regularly confronted with potentially traumatising on-duty events, they have an increased risk to develop trauma-related mental and physical health impairments, including post-traumatic, depressive, and somatic symptoms. For this high-risk group, it could be of particular importance to experience their occupational burden as manageable, meaningful, and coherent. This mindset – called sense of coherence – may be a potential resilience factor against the development of mental and physical health problems. In a cross-sectional cohort of 102 rescue workers (Mdn(QD)age = 26.0 (8.5), age range: 18−61), including 36 women, we investigated whether higher values on the Revised Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-R) predicted lower post-traumatic, depressive, and somatic symptoms. In addition, we evaluated the factor structure of the SOC-R using confirmatory factor analyses. Linear regressions indicated that higher SOC-R, but particularly manageability scores were associated with less post-traumatic (β = −.31, p = .009), depressive (β = −.44, p < .001), and somatic symptoms (β = −.36, p = .002). Furthermore, we found that all symptom scores significantly increased with occupational and private-life trauma exposure. The SOC-R’s factor structure was replicated, comprising the three subscales manageability, reflection, and balance. However, the SOC-R’s convergent factor validity was rather low in the present sample. Taken together, a high sense of coherence, and in particular a high manageability conviction, was observed as resilience factors for high-risk groups that are frequently exposed to potentially traumatic events. Future studies might investigate whether strengthening the sense of coherence could be one building block in an effective prevention program for maintaining long-term health in risk groups. • The Revised Sense of Coherence scale displayed poor convergent factor validity in German rescue workers. • Higher sense of coherence, but particularly the manageability conviction was associated with less mental and physical complaints in rescue workers. • On-duty and private-life trauma exposure were associated with more mental and physical health impairments. • Longitudinal studies are necessary to confirm whether the revised sense of coherence is a prospective resilience factor against stress and trauma in high-risk professions.

description: Following the successful deployment of 33 PV systems with a total power of 2.2 MWp in the Confluence area in Lyon, France, SPL Lyon-Confluence, the city-owned company in charge of this urban development, decided to increase the involvement of stakeholders and to set up a collective self-consumption project within the construction of a new building block in the area. The aim was to give the building block inhabitants a direct benefit from the electricity produced by this PV system according to the French Energy Code. The French Energy Code permits the split of PV production data between several electricity consumers. Each consumer receives a part of the local energy produced during the day (directly from PV system or from a battery) resulting in a reduction of the electricity purchased from a “conventional” supplier.

description: Supply chain integration is a crucial approach to improve the different dimensions of operational performance. The focus of the study is to investigate the effects of supply chain integration on operational performance in MW Plastic Products Manufacturing Company in Sebeta. In order to give better performance to the company and services to the customer, integration as a process has many touch points with multiple functions within the company and these functions need to be integrated. In order to conduct the research, problems related to lack of alignment among departments, cross-functional management, Strategic partnership and sharing of production capacity, awareness about the strategic plans of the company and Joint decision making on the issues of procurement, inventory management, production, distribution,extended lead times ,quick ordering systems, the occurrence of missed sales due to out of stock generated by problem of demand forecasting and logjam delay related with use of Enterprise Resource Planning, storage space utilization, poor supplier involvement on the development of firm values, and stability of procurement with suppliers and with major customers. An explanatory (causal) research design was employed with a sample of 176 employees through stratified sampling. A questionnaire was used as a research tool for collecting data. Baseline data were captured from some informants and from secondary data. The collected data was analyzed using both descriptive statistics (mean & standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation and linear regression). Regarding the correlation, it is possible to conclude that there is a strong and positive relationship among the four supply chain integration dimensions which this study was relied on. TheMain findings of the study showed that, there was better existence of integration along the supply chain as the mean values of internal integration,information integration, and customer integration were above the minimum requirement, which is 3 except supplier integration as its mean value was below the limit. Moreover, internal integration, customer integration, and information dimensions of supply chain integration has a positive and significant effect on operational performance of the enterprise in which supplier integration dimension had failed to signify the effect and needs to include other supply chain variables. And also, the study recommends proper internal integration, information integration, supplier integration and customer integration strategies in order to bring effective operational performance.

description: The objective of this study is to characterize and compare day-ahead forecast errors of PV power generation and power demand in regional scale, and in a scenario of large penetration of PV power. Furthermore the effects of both forecast errors on a residual demand forecast are also investigated. The study targets the area with the highest penetration of PV power in Japan, Kyushu region. The forecasts of PV power and power demand were done with machine learning techniques and numerical weather prediction data. An analysis of forecasts of PV power indicates that its large forecast errors have an asymmetry of values according to the forecast value. Such asymmetry was not observed in the case of power demand. The results also show that PV power forecast errors seem to be uncorrelated with those of power demand forecasts. Regarding residual power demand forecasts, its errors had a variability resembling the one of power demand forecast errors and outliers approaching the values of those of PV power forecast errors. Forecasts for a 2-year period had RMSE of 0.059 GW/GWpeak for PV power forecasts, 0.028 GW/GWpeak for power demand forecasts and 0.041 GW/GWpeak for residual power demand forecasts.

description: Abridged: Alpha Virginis is a binary system whose proximity and brightness allow detailed investigations of the internal structure and evolution of stars undergoing time-variable tidal interactions. Previous studies have led to the conclusion that the internal structure of Spica's primary star may be more centrally condensed than predicted by theoretical models of single stars, raising the possibility that the interactions could lead to effects that are currently neglected in structure and evolution calculations. The key parameters in confirming this result are the values of the orbital eccentricity $e$, the apsidal period $U$, and the primary star's radius, R_1. We analyze the impact that line profile variability has on the derivation of its orbital elements and R_1. We use high SNR observations obtained in 2000, 2008, and 2013 to derive the orbital elements from fits to the radial velocity curves. We produce synthetic line profiles using an ab initio tidal interaction model. Results: The variations in the line profiles can be understood in terms of the tidal flows, whose large-scale structure is relatively fixed in the rotating binary system reference frame. Fits to the radial velocity curves yield $e$=0.108$\pm$0.014. However, the analogous RV curves from theoretical line profiles indicate that the distortion in the lines causes the fitted value of $e$ to depend on the argument of periastron; i.e., on the epoch of observation. As a result, the actual value of $e$ may be as high as 0.125. We find that $U$=117.9$\pm$1.8, which is in agreement with previous determinations. Using the value $R_1=6.8 R_\odot$ derived by Palate et al. (2013) the value of the observational internal structure constant $k_{2,obs}$ is consistent with theory. We confirm the presence of variability in the line profiles of the secondary star.

description: The French official objective for photovoltaic development is 20.6 GW of capacity by the end of 2023 and between 35.6 and 44.5 GW by the end of 2028 [1], while in the beginning of 2020 photovoltaic solar capacity reached 10 GW in France [2]. During the ten last years, increased in photovoltaic capacity rarely exceeded 1 GW per year so the pace of installation must be increased by a factor 3-4 in the next years [2]. At the end of 2019, 93% of photovoltaic capacity in mainland France was connected to the distribution grid and 78% of projects in development phase still concerned the distribution grid [3]. Thus, there is a need for distribution grids hosting capacity assessment. Burgeap and Hespul developed a common tool called SYMAGINER that enables the assessment of power consumption, solar potential and distribution grid hosting capacity on a territory, typically the size of a French Department. Here we present the model that assesses the distribution grid hosting capacity and illustrate the possibilities of the tool through results on the French department “Haute-Savoie”.

description: In this research, monitored data of residential PV – heat pump systems have been analyzed and modelled to assess their energy performance, CO2 emission reduction potential, the level of thermal comfort and their selfsufficiency. On the basis of a 5-minutes data set of a Dutch smart grid pilot named PowerMatching City which is based in Groningen, 11 households equipped with these systems have been evaluated. On the basis of five scenarios modelled it was found that systems with hybrid heat pumps with large PV systems (15 kWp) and mid-sized PV systems (4,25 kWp) would result in nearly zero-energy buildings. However, the self-sufficiency of electrical heating results were 10% to 110% less compared to hybrid heating. The major moderating factor is that the entire electrification of heating scale electricity demand 400% up. Entirely electrical heating will reduce the amount of CO2 emissions only if the seasonal coefficient of performance of the heat pumps would exceed 3.35, for our Dutch case study, mainly due to high emissions of the grid and low share of renewable.

description: 37th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1657-1660
description: In this simulation study, long term storage devices on the basis of hydrogen are modelled as decentralised combined heat and power systems called here Storage CHP. This conceptual device produces either electricity or hydrogen, whereby the waste heat is used locally. Moreover, hydrogen is stored in the gas grid and converted back to electricity if needed. A grid frequency controlled switch is changing from electricity to hydrogen production for balancing the electricity grid. The proposed device acts as a cellular, scalable and self-adjusting grid component at any node of the grid. Compared to centralized power-to-gas approaches, Storage CHP provide 1. Increased energy efficiency by using waste heat locally for low temperature heat supply in buildings 2. If this service were to be paid for as a grid service, this would be an attractive investment for private owners when renewing their heating system 3. A fast market penetration and accelerated technology development as a result of the high number of potential stake-holders 4. Because of their cellular designs, the costs of fuel and electrolysis cells scale with mass production rather than system size. This device is motivated by its possibly faster market penetration compared to large scale centralised systems and was therefore probed by means of a cost optimization.

description: We present the results of a survey for HI 21-cm and OH 18-cm absorption in seven strong CO emitters at z > 3. Despite reaching limits comparable to those required to detect 21-cm absorption at lower redshifts, we do not detect either transition in any of the objects searched. We believe that this is due to the high redshift selection causing all of our targets to have ultra-violet luminosities above the critical value, where all of the atomic gas in the host galaxy disk is suspected to be ionised. However, not only are all of our targets bright in CO emission, but detection of CO above the critical UV luminosity is generally not uncommon. This suggests that the molecular gas is shielded from the radiation or is physically remote from the source of the continuum emission, as it appears to be from CO observations of high redshift radio galaxies.

description: Background: Oculomotor movements have been shown to aid in the retrieval of episodic memories, serving as sensory cues that engage frontoparietal brain regions to reconstruct visuospatial details of a memory. Frontoparietal brain regions not only are involved in oculomotion, but also mediate, in part, the retrieval of autobiographical episodic memories and assist in emotion regulation. Objective: We sought to investigate how oculomotion influences retrieval of traumatic memories by examining patterns of frontoparietal brain activation during autobiographical memory retrieval in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and in healthy controls. Method: Thirty-nine participants (controls, n = 19; PTSD, n = 20) recollected both neutral and traumatic/stressful autobiographical memories while cued simultaneously by horizontal and vertical oculomotor stimuli. The frontal (FEF) and supplementary (SEF) eye fields were used as seed regions for psychophysiological interaction analyses in SPM12. Results: As compared to controls, upon retrieval of a traumatic/stressful memory while also performing simultaneous horizontal eye movements, PTSD showed: i) increased SEF and FEF connectivity with the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, ii) increased SEF connectivity with the right dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, and iii) increased SEF connectivity with the right anterior insula. By contrast, as compared to PTSD, upon retrieval of a traumatic/stressful memory while also performing simultaneous horizontal eye movements, controls showed: i) increased FEF connectivity with the right posterior insula and ii) increased SEF connectivity with the precuneus. Conclusions: These findings provide a neurobiological account for how oculomotion may influence the frontoparietal cortical representation of traumatic memories. Implications for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing are discussed. • Traumatic/stressful memory retrieval while performing horizontal eye movements engages frontoparietal regions involved in autobiographical memory retrieval and emotion regulation that show further connectivity with the right frontal and supplementary eye fields.• Dissociation may compromise the oculomotor frontoparietal network’s ability to recruit the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for use in top–down emotion regulation.• Oculomotion may influence the frontoparietal cortical representation of traumatic memories.• These findings may have implications for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapies.

description: In this paper, we present the project of a mobile PV fluxmeter for obtaining the map of the flux density absorbed by the thermal receiver of a parabolic trough solar concentrator. The fluxmeter is shaped as a collar to be clamped around the glass tube protecting the cylindrical receiver, and is translated along the tube through a helical motion ensured by internal motors. The fluxmeter is equipped with sandwiches of calibrated concentration PV cells, coupled back to back in order to measure, during the helical motion, the flux entering and exiting the focal region of the solar collector, which, by difference, give the effective (net) flux absorbed by the thermal receiver. The flux density (in W/cm2 ) is derived by measurements of the photocurrent and temperature on all the pairs of cells, recorded in an internal datalogger or directly transmitted to a remote central unit.

description: Irish medieval literature has a few examples of Irish saints resurrecting dead champions and legendary ancestors and then using the resurrected’s influence to convert their descendants to Christianity. The present paper discusses two poems of this genre, previously unpublished Acallam Moga Ruith and Sé fichit blíadan from the fifteenth-century manuscript Egerton 92.The poems describe how Bishop Cairpre, together with nephews of St Patrick, resurrected Mog Ruith, who was the legendary ancestor of the Fir Maige Féne, to convert his descendants to Christianity. The subsequent contract between the Bishop and Mog Ruith set the scruple of communion for the Fir Maige Féne which would save Mog Ruith and his people from hell. Ecclesiastical sites are not mentioned and neither is the name of the Fir Maige Féne king. However, using some clues from the poems, I will discuss the historical background of the poems and possible ecclesiastical sites in Fermoy whose interests the poems may have represented.

description: Graphene electrodes are promising candidates to improve reproducibility and stability in molecular electronics through new electrode-molecule anchoring strategies. Here we report sequential electron transport in few-layer graphene transistors containing individual curcuminoid-based molecules anchored to the electrodes via pi-pi orbital bonding. We show the coexistence of inelastic co-tunneling excitations with single-electron transport physics owing to an intermediate molecule-electrode coupling; we argue that an intermediate electron-phonon coupling is the origin of these vibrational-assisted excitations. These experimental observations are complemented with density functional theory calculations to model electron transport and the interaction between electrons and vibrational modes of the curcuminoid molecule. We find that the calculated vibrational modes of the molecule are in agreement with the experimentally observed excitations.

description: This work concerns the design, optical performance evaluation, and optimization of a two-stage Micro photovoltaic concentrator (MCPV). The studied MCPV system is based on the use of a Plano-convex lens as a primary optical element, to improve the optical efficiency by suppressing the draft angles and facet corner losses generally produced by the Fresnel lens, associated to a dome lens as a secondary optical element, which homogenizes the irradiance distribution on the cell and improves the acceptance angle. Damped least square method was used to optimize the system in terms of its optical efficiency, its acceptance angle as well as the distribution of illumination irradiance on the solar cell.

description: Background: Although the family constitutes the prime source of risk and resilience for the well-being of children growing up in adverse conditions, the mental health of children living in refugee camps has rarely been investigated in conjunction with their parents’ mental health. Objectives: To examine the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health problems among Burundian refugee children and their parents living in Tanzanian refugee camps and to identify patterns of comorbidity among children and their parents based on PTSD symptom levels and functional impairment. Methods: We recruited a representative sample of 230 children aged 7–15 years and both of their parents (n = 690) and conducted separate structured clinical interviews. Latent Class Analysis was applied to identify patterns of comorbidity. Results: Children and parents were exposed to multiple traumatic event types. In total, 5.7% of children fulfilled DSM-5 criteria for PTSD in the past month and 10.9% reported enhanced levels of other mental health problems. 42.6% indicated clinically significant functional impairment due to PTSD symptoms. PTSD prevalence was higher among mothers (32.6%) and fathers (29.1%). Latent Class Analysis (LCA) revealed a familial accumulation of PTSD symptoms as children with high symptom levels and impairment were likely to live in families with two traumatized parents. Conclusions: Although the number of children who need support for trauma-related mental health problems was relatively low, taking into account parental trauma could aid to identify at-risk children with elevated PTSD symptom levels and impairment even in the face of existing barriers to mental health care access for children in refugee camp settings (e.g. lack of targeted services, prioritization of managing daily stressors). • We found lower prevalence rates of PTSD (5.7 %) and psychological distress (10.9 %) among refugee children than studies conducted in similar settings. However, a high number of children (42.6%) reported functional impairment related to PTSD symptoms. • Children were most likely to present with elevated PTSD symptom levels and impairment when both their parents were also experiencing PTSD.• Children with full and subthreshold PTSD could be identified easier through their parents’ trauma.

description: The integration of renewable energies is becoming more and more interesting for many researchers and industrials at international level. Several countries have started to develop different projects in this direction in order to meet properly the growing needs of their population and replace then conventional sources with their negative environmental impact. Considering the diversity of its energy resources and its exceptional geographical position, Morocco has adopted an energy strategy which aims to cover its energy needs with renewable sources reaching a rate of 52% by 2030. Nevertheless, these clean energies also have a variety of constraints and challenges that must be overcome or optimised in order to facilitate their exploitation and implementation in our daily lives. Solar energy is among these promising renewable resources, especially for Morocco, but remains complex and less efficient in some cases. In this article, we have chosen to limit our study to solar energy especially Photovoltaic Systems (PV Systems) and particularly the challenge of the Storage part. It was analysed in two cases in Stand- Alone and Grid-Connected PV Systems in order to define the optimal operation of the battery in the both cases. Optimal PV Systems sizing depends on different components especially on the battery part.

description: Using the theory of $L^p$-graphons (Borgs et al, 2014), we derive and rigorously justify the continuum limit for systems of differential equations on sparse random graphs. Specifically, we show that the solutions of the initial value problems for the discrete models can be approximated by those of an appropriate nonlocal diffusion equation. Our results apply to a range of spatially extended dynamical models of different physical, biological, social, and economic networks. Importantly, our assumptions cover network topologies featured in many important real-world networks. In particular, we derive the continuum limit for coupled dynamical systems on power law graphs. The latter is the main motivation for this work.

description: As a power storage technology for effective use of PV, hydrogen storage composed of a water electrolyser, a hydrogen tank, and a fuel cell for a large capacity application is expected to have a cost less than that of a secondary battery in the future. In this study, we created a charge / discharge planning method to minimize the amount of exchanged power to the grid in the case of conventional lithium-ion batteries only and in the case of combined use of lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen storage. The performance of hydrogen storage was evaluated by comparing the self-consumption rate of PV. As a result, a similar performance could be achieved depending on the PV generation pattern.

description: High-quality materials are critical for advances in plasmonics, especially as researchers now investigate quantum effects at the limit of single surface plasmons or exploit ultraviolet- or CMOS-compatible metals such as aluminum or copper. Unfortunately, due to inexperience with deposition methods, many plasmonics researchers deposit metals under the wrong conditions, severely limiting performance unnecessarily. This is then compounded as others follow their published procedures. In this perspective, we describe simple rules collected from the surface-science literature that allow high-quality plasmonic films of aluminum, copper, gold, and silver to be easily deposited with commonly available equipment (a thermal evaporator). Recipes are also provided so that films with optimal optical properties can be routinely obtained.

description: It is shown that the quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field generally induce a torque at the interface of an anisotropic material with another anisotropic or isotropic material. It is proven that this torque depends on an interface zero-point energy determined by the dispersion of the interface (localized and extended) modes. Our theory demonstrates that the single-interface torque is essential to understand the Casimir physics of material systems with anisotropic elements and determines the equilibrium positions of the system.

description: We study here a very popular 1D jump model introduced by Kac: it consists of $N$ velocities encountering random binary collisions at which they randomly exchange energy. We show the uniform (in $N$) exponential contractivity of the dynamics in a non-standard Monge-Kantorovich-Wasserstein: precisely the MKW metric of order 2 on the energy. The result is optimal in the sense that for each $N$, the contractivity constant is equal to the $L^2$ spectral gap of the generator associated to Kac's dynamic. As a corollary, we get an uniform but non optimal contractivity in the MKW metric of order $4$. We use a simple coupling that works better that the parallel one. The estimates are simple and new (to the best of our knowledge).

description: This paper shows the results of an experimental work addressed to quantify soiling loss (SL) of PV systems installed on rooftops in some residential areas of Madrid, Spain. Considering tilt angles between 8º and 35º, and periods longer than 6 months since the beginning of 2019, the results show that soiling losses of PV roofs vary typically between 1.1% and 2.4%. On a daily basis, the time elapsed since the last rain event is the main parameter that determines the soiling loss evolution, which is also a function of other environmental factors, such as the seasonal airborne pollen variation. The tilt of the PV modules has a significant influence on soiling retention: the lowest the tilt, the highest the soiling loss. As a consequence, it would be recommendable to adopt cleaning protocols for the PV modules at low tilt angles, adapted to the periodicity of rain throughout the year.

description: In this work we present an extension of the ROMA map-making code for data analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background polarization, with particular attention given to the inflationary polarization B-modes. The new algorithm takes into account a possible cross-correlated noise component among the different detectors of a CMB experiment. We tested the code on the observational data of the BOOMERanG (2003) experiment and we show that we are provided with a better estimate of the power spectra, in particular the error bars of the BB spectrum are smaller up to 20% for low multipoles. We point out the general validity of the new method. A possible future application is the LSPE balloon experiment, devoted to the observation of polarization at large angular scales.

description: When Thea (Terezie) Červenková left Czechoslovakia in 1923 to start a new life with her brother in Latin America, her passport stated that she was a writer and a journalist. However, she was more than that. At the age of forty-one she was leaving behind at least two careers—one in writing and a shorter, but no less prolific career in the film industry, where she worked as a director, a screenwriter, a journalist, and, most importantly, as an entrepreneur. During a five-year period, from 1918 to 1923, she translated continuity titles, wrote eight scripts, directed eight films, wrote articles for the trade film magazine Československý film, and cofounded, with cameraman Josef Brabec, her own film company, Filmový ústav, which she ran until her departure for Rio de Janeiro in 1923. We learn this from an undated interview with her closest coworker, Josef Brabec (Josefem Brabcem), who also recalls her as a woman with a “business spirit,” who managed a guesthouse in Prague (Brabcem 3).

description: Solar generation is a prominent source of renewable energy and a rooftop Photovoltaic (PV) system has been deployed in shipyard to generate electricity from the highest irradiance, which is in Tuas, West Region of Singapore. This is based on industrial rooftop PV system which compares Contracted Capacity Charge (CCC) with bigger capacity of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in grid-connected PV system, is able to achieve greater cost saving for electrifying to load. This whole system is then modelled with simulation to demonstrate using discharging characteristics of the BESS under six different connection scenarios. The transient stability of PV with greater capacity of BESS can improve quality of the power flow to load when there is a sudden loss of power from PV. In addition, result shows that power quality will vary if there is more capacity in BESS integrated with PV.

description: Maladaptive patterns of attention to emotional stimuli are a common feature of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with growing evidence supporting sustained attention to threatening stimuli across trauma samples. However, it remains unclear how different PTSD symptom clusters are associated with attentional bias patterns, particularly in urban civilian settings with high rates of trauma exposure and PTSD. The present study examined associations among these variables in 70 traumatized primarily African American women. PTSD was measured using the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale, and eye tracking was used to measure patterns of attention as participants engaged in an attention bias (dot probe) task to emotional faces; average initial fixation (1 s) and dwell duration (overall time spent looking at emotional face versus neutral face across the 5 s task) were used to assess attention bias patterns toward emotional faces. Women with PTSD showed significantly longer dwell duration toward angry faces than women without PTSD (F = 5.16, p < .05). Bivariate correlation analyses with the PTSD symptom clusters showed a significant association between average initial fixation toward angry faces and higher levels of avoidance symptoms (r = 0.29, p < .05) as well as sustained attention to angry faces and higher levels of re-experiencing symptoms (r = 0.24, p < .05). Using separate linear regression models based on initial significant correlations, we found that PTSD avoidance symptoms were significantly related to average initial fixation toward angry faces (R2∆ = 0.09, p < .05) and PTSD re-experiencing symptoms were significantly related to dwell duration toward angry faces (R2∆ = 0.06, p < .05). These findings contribute to evidence that PTSD is related to both initial vigilance and sustained attention to threat and that certain symptom clusters may either drive or be more impacted by attentional biases, highlighting the benefits of addressing attentional biases within treatment. •Biased attention patterns are related to PTSD symptoms in a civilian urban population of women.• PTSD diagnosis is associated with sustained attention toward threat.• Avoidance symptoms are related to initial biased attention toward angry faces, while re-experiencing symptoms are related to sustained attention toward angry faces.

description: be taken into account when making technology and design choices. This work, although preliminary, suggests that significant efficiency gains are possible by designing a photovoltaic (PV) system specifically for regions of the world that see persistent snow in winter. Part of a broader effort to increase the performance and reliability of PV systems in snowy regions, the research described here has identified design choices that can accelerate snow shedding and boost electricity generation. A comparative performance analysis of three design options--module orientation, framing architecture and bifacial tracker mounting—is provided. Preliminary results indicate that smart design choices can, in fact, means greater energy efficiencies. Frameless modules shed snow faster than framed modules, translating into average annual energy gains of 10 percent; portrait modules, which have a high sliding-distance-to-frame ratio outperform their landscape counterparts; and bifacial modules on two-axis trackers generate 41% more energy than the same bifacial modules installed at fixed tilt. These results strongly suggest that customizing PV systems for a harsh operating climate is a cost-effective path to greater system efficiencies and a faster rate of return for investors.

description: There are pronounced benefits of bifacial modules, but their application still suffers due to a lack of deep understanding of the performance gain that it can actually provide. There have been claims that bifacial modules can provide >10-13% gain as compared to the monofacial modules [1]. However, there has been very limited data from the field which can substantiate these claims. This is particularly applicable in the Indian scenario as there has been no widespread deployment of bifacial technology. This paper illuminates the most optimum bifacial configurations in subtropical and north-temperate locations based on various parameters. There is also a brief comparison of monofacial and bifacial technology to justify the transition.
