description: We consider singularly perturbed boundary value problems with a simple interior turning point whose solutions exhibit an interior layer. These problems are discretised using higher order finite elements on layer-adapted graded meshes proposed by Liseikin. We prove $ε$-uniform error estimates in the energy norm. Furthermore, for linear elements we are able to prove optimal order $ε$-uniform convergence in the $L^2$-norm on these graded meshes.

description: Crystalline silicon solar cells with nanosiwire consisting of random upright pyramids and suface double
textured layer directly onto the pyramids are prepared and reflectance properties and I-V characteristics measured. This
paper presents a optimized fabricating process and it’s analysis of silicon (Si) nanowire solar cells using metal-induced
electroless etching and POCl3 doping method. The conventional screen printing method was applied on p-type crystalline
silicon (c-Si) wafers. Nanowires have p-n radial junction were patterned on c-Si using metal assisted electroless etching.
Also highly densed array of nanowires obtained by Ag metal catalyst led low reflectance. The best result was obtained at
50 Ω/sq of sheet resistance through controlling temperature of POCl3 doping process. The optimized silicon nanowire
solar cells results in efficiency up to 17.2% with a Voc of 613 mV, FF of 76.6 %, Jsc of 36.7mA/cm2 are demonstrated.

description: The electricity self-consumption level of a family household is determined both experimentally and by
modelling. The effect of rapid fluctuation in PV production and electricity demand, and especially the effect of the
temporal resolution of their measurements, are studied. For accurate determination of the self-consumption level,
temporal resolution of at least 30 s for the load profile and at least 10 min for the PV production measurements are
suggested. The effect of temporal resolution becomes negligible when a local electricity storage system is added.

description: Nanostructures of semiconductor are expected to improve the conversion efficiency of a solar cell by
the multiple exciton generation effect, which is enhanced by the carrier confinement. We have been developing “Si
nano-pillar array” to achieve this expectation. However, nano-pillar array has high reflectance (7.3%) against
broadband light (0.3 – 1.0 μm) since it can only reduces the reflectance in particular wavelength. Therefore, the
reduction of the reflectance against broadband light was necessary. To achieve the carrier confinement and the low
reflectance at the same time, we proposed a nano-pillar array with stacked layers. The stacked layers reduced the
reflectance by improving the optical coupling and the relaxation of the mismatch of refractive indices. We fabricated
the proposed structure and reduced the reflectance down to 2.5%.
An Assessment of Sunspot Number Data Composites over 1845-2014

description: New sunspot data composites, some of which are radically different in the character of their long-term variation, are evaluated over the interval 1845-2014. The method commonly used to calibrate historic sunspot data, relative to modern-day data, is "daisy-chaining", whereby calibration is passed from one data subset to the neighbouring one, usually using regressions of the data subsets for the intervals of their overlap. Recent studies have illustrated serious pitfalls in these regressions and the resulting errors can be compounded by their repeated use as the data sequence is extended back in time. Hence the recent composite data series by Usoskin et al. (2016), $R_{UEA}$, is a very important advance because it avoids regressions, daisy-chaining and other common, but invalid, assumptions: this is achieved by comparing the statistics of "active day" fractions to those for a single reference dataset. We study six sunspot data series including $R_{UEA}$ and the new "backbone" data series $R_{BB}$, recently generated by Svalgaard and Schatten (2016) by employing both regression and daisy-chaining. We show that all six can be used with a continuity model to reproduce the main features of the open solar flux variation for 1845-2014, as reconstructed from geomagnetic activity data. However, some differences can be identified that are consistent with tests using a basket of other proxies for solar magnetic fields. Using data from a variety of sunspot observers, we illustrate problems with the method employed in $R_{BB}$ which cause it to increasingly overestimate sunspot numbers going back in time and we recommend using $R_{UEA}$ because it employs more robust procedures that avoid such problems.

PV as Building Material Component

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4342-4345
description: The integration of PV modules in buildings maybe represents the most acceptable application of PV
and there are now tight limitations to the land occupation. The only drawback is the aesthetical impact due to the
installation that can be heavily affected. Especially for historical towns the strong modification of the traditional
outlook could result in a very serious obstacle for the general acceptance of the PV technology and very often
authorities deny the permission for its installation. This work aims to present the development status of the so called
invisible hidden PV; it can be absolutely applied within every architectural or urban context since they can be
camouflaged inside a piece of tile, shingle or concrete that appear indistinguishable from the traditional materials.
They have been tested to prove their enduring aspects against weathering.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review of literature focused on the effects of developmental language disorder (DLD) on writing skills across the life span to highlight gaps in our knowledge of how to support writing for this population. Method: We adopted the five-step framework for conducting scoping reviews outlined by Arksey and O’Malley (2005) to identify literature focused on writing outcomes for individuals with DLD in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Results: Seventy-two studies from 1991 to 2022 met review criteria. Results indicated that spelling may be an area of relative weakness for individuals with DLD across the life span. Children and adolescents with DLD also may have relative difficulty with grammar, organization, cohesion, and length of written output. Research on the writing skills of adults with DLD is too sparse to draw broad conclusions about the writing skills of this subset of the population with DLD. Conclusions: Overall, research into the writing skills of individuals with DLD is limited, and more information is needed to inform functional evidence-based approaches to assessment and intervention of writing for those with DLD from childhood through adulthood. Additionally, more focus on electronic writing in research is needed, as only two studies included in this review examined typed writing in any form. Results of this review also indicate a need for systematic, uniform approaches to defining and measuring writing skills for those who experience language difficulties. Supplemental Material S1.

description: The combination of decreased or even omitted feed in tariffs and falling prices for PV systems have
led electricity generation costs below electricity tariffs in many places across Europe. Consequently own
consumption is gaining popularity not only in private homes but also in commercial applications. In addition the
number of open space PV systems receiving feed in tariffs is decreasing. Hence large rooftop installations become
interesting for project development companies and EPCs too.
This paper discusses the various influencing factors on yield optimisation in regard to area utilisation and high own
consumption rates. One major aspect is the orientation of the generator. In addition to a common tilt towards south,
east-west orientated systems might be an interesting alternative in order to homogenise the diurnal variations.
In addition to technical questions the economic side will be analysed too. Based on an exemplary load curve possible
own consumption will be calculated. Consequently the value of the reduction of energy supply may be used for the
analysis of the economic feasibility of the project.
The study is based on comprehensive simulations considering all relevant technical and economic aspects. It shows
ways to optimise the own consumption and the sustainable use of PV in the commercial sector.
Sieves and the Minimal Ramification Problem

description: The minimal ramification problem may be considered as a quantitative version of the inverse Galois problem. For a nontrivial finite group $G$, let $m(G)$ be the minimal integer $m$ for which there exists a Galois extension $N/\mathbb{Q}$ that is ramified at exactly $m$ primes (including the infinite one). So, the problem is to compute or to bound $m(G)$. In this paper, we bound the ramification of extensions $N/\mathbb{Q}$ obtained as a specialization of a branched covering $ϕ\colon C\to \mathbb{P}^1_{\mathbb{Q}}$. This leads to novel upper bounds on $m(G)$, for finite groups $G$ that are realizable as the Galois group of a branched covering. Some instances of our general results are: $$ 1\leq m(S_m)\leq 4 \quad \mbox{and} \quad n\leq m(S_m^n) \leq n+4, $$ for all $n,m>0$. Here $S_m$ denotes the symmetric group on $m$ letters, and $S_m^n$ is the direct product of $n$ copies of $S_m$. We also get the correct asymptotic of $m(G^n)$, as $n \to \infty$ for a certain class of groups $G$. Our methods are based on sieve theory results, in particular on the Green-Tao-Ziegler theorem on prime values of linear forms in two variables, on the theory of specialization in arithmetic geometry, and on finite group theory.

description: Four different lasers with various wavelengths, pulse lengths and intensities were applied for laser
ablation resulting laser textured, “black” silicon surfaces. The aim was to compare the optical properties of samples
structured by the different lasers, and so to find the optimal configuration and to investigate its viability for
photovoltaic applications. At this first stage, the evolution of the significantly different surface morphologies was
studied by scanning electron microscopy and characterization of the resulted surface reflectance. The structural
changes of the surface were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. Laser ablation processes are discussed explaining
the shape of the resulted structures. Based on the trend of the morphology and reflectance changes, the obtained laser
induced textures and their antireflective properties are compared. Around 2% total reflectance was achieved in the
visible and near infrared spectral ranges texturing by some tenth of pulses from the femtosecond excimer laser.

description: To demonstrate the power output characteristics of bifacial photovoltaic (bifi-PV) systems, we
installed a couple of 3kW bifi-PV systems at northern snowy area located in Kitami city, Hokkaido, Japan. Both
arrays are tilted 35 degrees, and directed to the south. And under the one of the array, crushed scallops’ shells are laid
down as a ground reflector for increasing the incident light to rear side of the bifacial PV modules. About a half years
measurement (from the snowy winter season to the summer), we could make sure the high performance ratio at both
of these arrays. The average of array performance ratio is 0.95 for without ground reflector, and 1.09 for with scallops’
shells ground reflector. From this actual measurement data, we could confirmed that bifi-PV has a great potential in
order to increase system performance ratio (especially using with ground reflector), and it is enough for practical use
of commercial PV power plant even if snowy area.

description: We constructed a $^3$He magnetic force microscope operating at the base temperature of 300 mK under a vector magnetic field of 2-2-9 T in the $x-y-z$ direction. Fiber optic interferometry as a detection scheme is employed in which two home-built fiber walkers are used for the alignment between the cantilever and the optical fiber. The noise level of the laser interferometer is close to its thermodynamic limit. The capabilities of the sub-Kelvin and vector field are demonstrated by imaging the coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity in a ferromagnetic superconductor (ErNi$_2$B$_2$C) at $T$=500 mK and by probing a dipole shape of a single Abrikosov vortex with an in-plane tip magnetization.

junction cells, light induce plating was utilized. After the light induced plating, the series resistance of the cells was
significantly decreased, and a best efficiency of near 12% was achieved for nanopillar solar cell, which is better than
the planar control cell.

description: In this paper we give an overview of the results and experiences with a PV system consisting of linear
Fresnel lenses mounted in the roof of a greenhouse. The concept of the system is defined in Sonneveld et al 2011.
The Fresnel lenses project a focal line on a linear PV collector. To keep track on the focal line, a control systems
moves the collector according to an accurately pre-computed path.
For electricity production from the high density light in the focal line, a series connection of PV-cells along the linear
collector is wanted. However, glazing bars that support the glass panels cast shadow lines on the collector, which
seriously hamper the possibilities of coupling PV-cells in series (see Janssen et al 2011).
To solve this problem, PV cells are switched in parallel to form modules with a length equal to the (regular) distance
of the shadow lines. Then these modules can be connected in series because each module is affected equally by the
shadow-lines.
To check the internal resistances and reverse bias of individual modules we short circuited modules, but this practice
appeared to be catastrophic if applied to a long chain of modules. In such a short circuited chain, the modules that
happen to have a slightly lower current production gets reversed biased with a voltage of almost the open chain
voltage. When building an accurate simulation model of the electrical scheme this mechanism was confirmed.
Despite the drawbacks in the first experiments with the system, the perspectives were encouraging enough to
continue the project and to reassemble the collector with new PV-modules.
The results up to now are:
Fresnel lenses can be incorporated in the roof of a greenhouse with sufficient focusing. The tracking system is
sufficiently accurate and is realized with constructions applicable in practical greenhouses. The calculation of the
position of the focal line is very accurate and needs after calibration almost no fine tuning in position. The PV
collector needs to be improved, less spreading in performance of the PV cells and better reverse voltage resistance.
The generated electrical energy can be delivered to grid.
A spin off effect of the capture of direct light is that the remaining light in the greenhouse is fully diffuse. This
showed to be very positive on the growth of ornamental flowers. The collector can be positioned very fast in and out
of the focal line and forms in fact a very sophisticated shadow system.

description: Electrical energy storage systems are still quite expensive. In order to make local PV storage systems
more economical it could be advantageous to grant a third party contractor access to a certain amount of storage capacity.
The contractor can integrate this storage capacity in his virtual power plant. Therefore it is necessary to account
the energy flows in and out of the PV storage system separately with different prices, depending on whether the
energy flow is caused by the contractor or by the PV system operator.
This article presents a new multidirectional metering concept that ensures the accurate registration of the different energy
flows in separate metering points. The benefit of the concept is demonstrated by means of sample applications.
This new metering concept allows an easy implantation of energy metering for PV-Systems with multiple use storage
systems at low cost per unit. All relevant energy flows are assigned correctly and can be used for billing with only
two real meters and calculative linking. This metering concept opens local private storage systems to third party contractors
and enables a variety of new business cases for the economic integration of PV storage systems in the power
system.

description: The current unreliability of the electrical network in Nepal, and the growing needs of users, together
with the high level of losses in the electricity distribution grid can be partially resolved by means of a decentralized
and partly autonomous electricity supply.
The Nepali grid is characterized by weak stability, frequent accidental powercuts and regular planned load shedding
schemes (up to 20 hrs. a day in the dry season), causing particular suffering to SMEs (Small and Medium
Enterprises). A feasibility study [1] has demonstrated the cost advantages of a small solar PV grid connected system
in combination with a battery back-up, compared to traditional petrol gensets or battery chargers from the grid with
stand-alone inverters.
The pilot project foresaw the design, construction and monitoring of 5 grid-connected 1.11 kWp PV plants at three
different strategic locations, P1, P2 and P3, in the urban and semi-urban environment of the Kathmandu valley. While
four of the PV systems are standard grid connected systems, of which three are installed in “No-Load Shedding
Zone” P2 and one in “Load Shedding Zone” P1, the fifth system P3, is installed in a “Load-Shedding Zone”, but is
designed with a battery bank backup system, and can therefore function as a micro-grid. The setup parameter limit of
the grid-connected inverter was adjusted in accordance with the effective situation of the distribution grid (voltage
and frequency limits, duration of power cut, etc.). Performance monitoring of the plants started in late 2012. The first
9 months of analysis shows energy generation losses of about 47.6% (475kWh) at P1, due to the load shedding
schedule at the time. The performance of the three PV plants at P2, where no load shedding occurs, was as expected,
with all generated energy fed into the grid. The 1.11 kWp PV grid-connected plant with a battery backup at P3 in
effect performs as a stand-alone system providing enough energy for one household and an NGO office.

description: We present the next possible solution for energy selective carrier filtering in solar cells of the third
generation. Our approach is based on heterostructures (HS) for the exploitation of the hot charge (HC) carrier energy
from light absorber. The intrinsic lead selenide (PbSe) thin film absorbers were deposited onto (111) n-conductive
indium phosphide (InP) substrates in a three-electrode cell. Electrochemical underpotential deposition (UPD) in
aqueous acid solutions was used as a technique for PbSe thin film production. The properties of the deposited
absorber layers were analyzed by means of SEM, EDX and EBSD analysis. Prepared polycrystalline PbSe films have
1:1 ratio lead to selenium. The discontinuity between conduction bands of contacted PbSe and InP was measured
close to 0.5 eV. The evidence of HC filtering in this “light absorber” + “energy selective contact” structure was
observed by double beam excitation.

description: A Hot Carrier cell tackles thermalization loss in a conventional solar cell. It would absorb a wide range
of photon energies and extract a large fraction of the energy to give very high efficiencies by extracting hot carriers
before they thermalise to the atomic lattice. Super-structures of highly periodic quantum dots have been proposed as a
potential hot carrier absorber that might generate large phonon band gap between high optical phonon and acoustic
phonon to prevent or reduce energy decay through Klemens’ mechanism. In this work, we have fabricated such a
close-packed nanostructure of Si nanoparticles using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition technique. The carrier
temperature was investigated by fitting the high energy tail of steady state PL. The carrier temperature in the LB
films is clearly higher than the lattice temperature. This suggests that we have achieved slowed carrier thermalization
in the close-packed Si nanoparticle films.

description: Due to the fact that Photovoltaic (PV) farm systems must be practically installed in outdoor areas
for converting solar radiation into electric power. For this reason, PV farm systems have to face the risk of damage
against direct lightning strikes. Mostly, PV power plants installed in Thailand, they have still not been protected by
lightning rods installation. Then this paper provides the useful information about lightning protection system on
the 25 kWP PV farm system that to be installed at Thayang district of Phetchaburi province in Thailand. A
computer program is developed for making a decision on either requirement to install lightning protection system
or not. If needed, the results from computer program can give a suitable data, such as the number of lightning rods,
a dimension of lightning protection system using the protective angle method. This also includes the risk
evaluation of direct lightning strikes. Since, the 25 kWP PV farm system installed at Thayang district of Phetburi
province in Thailand faces the risk of damage against direct lightning on average 4.15 times per year. Accordingly,
the proposed computer program is able to design suitably for lightning rods installation and to be verified the
results with same method by another 3D drawing program. From the results show that all components of the 25
kWP PV farm system are protected properly by lightning rods. Consequently, the project owner is notified that the
25 kWP PV farm system should install lightning rods to protect the damage from direct lightning strikes. This
method is useful for application in many places, not just in Thailand, where PV farm systems are installed while
they have no lightning protection system in initial stage of PV system installation.

description: Structural, optical and electrical properties of deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering ZnO:Al/Ag(x)/ZnO:Al and Ag(100nm)/ZnO:Al/Ag(x)/ZnO:Al films on glass substrates with different thickness of the middle Ag film, x, are studied. The ZnO:Al layers are deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering in Ar+H2 atmosphere and the Ag layer in Ar on glass substrates without heating. The properties of the multilayer stack structures are studied by TEM, SEM and AFM analysis, transmittance, reflectance and resistivity measurements. The structural analyses demonstrate the evolution of the size and the shape of the Ag nanoparticles at different middle Ag layer thickness. Optical spectra show bands related to the interband transitions of d-shell Ag electrons and plasma resonance electron oscillations. The electrical measurements indicate decrease in the films resistivity between 1.10-3 and 4.10-5 Ω.cm with increasing the thickness of the middle Ag layer due to transition of the island structure of the Ag films to continuous with metallic conductivity. The deposited conductive multilayer stack structures reveal a potential for application at the rear side electrode and reflector in thin film solar cells for improvement of light harvesting.

description: In order to find an appropriate absorber material for the top cell of a crystalline all-silicon tandem solar
cell we investigate silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) surrounded by a silicon carbide matrix. The films are produced by
plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition of amorphous Si-rich SiC with 67% of Si from the precursor gases SiH4
and CH4. The formation of Si NCs takes place during a subsequent annealing step which is usually performed at
1100°C. In order to reduce the thermal budget for future cell processing and to investigate the crystallisation process,
the annealing temperature was reduced stepwise to 800°C. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy analysis reveal that both Si and SiC crystallization starts at 900°C. By extending the
annealing time from 30 min up to 24 h at this temperature we show by careful GIXRD peak analysis that there is no
significant change, neither in crystal size nor in the amount of the crystalline phases. In contrast, both the Si NC and
the SiC NC grain size show a significant growth from 2.0 ± 0.5 nm at 900° up to a grain size of 3.3 ± 0.5 nm and
4.1 ± 0.5 nm at 1100°C, respectively. Also the proportion of crystalline Si increases relative to the quantity of crystalline
SiC at higher temperatures. This is interpreted in terms of different activation energies for the formation of Si and SiC
NCs that arise from the nature of the amorphous film before the onset of crystallization.
