This paper introduces a novel of mini-hybrid solar power plant integrating a field of solar concentrators, two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) and a (bio)Diesel engine. Turbines for the organic Rankine Cycles are hermetic scroll expander-generators ...
Nanostructured NiO film was prepd. by depositing nickel hydroxide slurry on conducting glass and sintering at 500 °C to a thickness of about 1 μm. The photocurrent-voltage (IV) characteristics of the plain nanostructured NiO electrode recorded potentiostat ...
We show that a combination of a dye and a nanostructured NiO thin film on a conducting substrate can form a dye-sensitized photocathode that can be an active part in a tandem dye-sensitized solar cell (TDSC). To exptl. demonstrate a dye-sensitized nanostru ...
Lightweight PV modules are attractive for building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications, especially for renovated buildings, where the additional load bearing capacity is limited. This work focuses on the development of a lightweight, glass-free pho ...
Using control theory, apredictive thermal regulation of the "certainty equivalence" type has been developped. Stochastic models of hourly solar rediation and outdoor air temperature, based on the theory of Markov and ARMA processes, were set up for this pu ...
Automated shading systems have the potential to exploit daylight in buildings to save energy of artificial lighting and cooling loads and improve occupants'f visual comfort. This paper investigates the daylighting performance of automated Venetian blinds b ...
Stochastic models for the analysis of the energy and thermal comfort performances of passive solar devices have benn increasingly studied for over a decade. A new approach to thermal building modelling, based on Markov chains, is proposed here to combine b ...
A small component of ECCD exists when heating off-axis with no toroidal injection due to the field helicity. The sign of the ECCD will change depending on the absorption location in a poloidal plane, the beam injection relative to delB(vac), and the direct ...
We propose a method for the quantitative evaluation of electron-beam-induced current profiles measured in normal-collector geometry across p-n junctions in GaAs/Al0.4Ga0.6As heterostructures. We obtain a theoretical expression, valid for all distances from ...
