A Needle-Shaped Electrochemical Sensor in Platinum for Robust Monitoring of Anaesthetics
Sandro Carrara, Federica Barbeni
A needle-shaped electrochemical sensor based on platinum electrodes is proposed in this paper. These platinum electrodes provide improved mechanical properties with respect to previous prototypes proposed in literature. This makes them suitable for inserti ...
IEEE2022Status and perspectives of crystalline silicon photovoltaics in research and industry
Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Mathieu Gérard Boccard
Crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaics has long been considered energy intensive and costly. Over the past decades, spectacular improvements along the manufacturing chain have made c-Si a low-cost source of electricity that can no longer be ignored. Over ...
2022Role of electric currents in the Fano resonances of connected plasmonic structures
Olivier Martin, Marco Riccardi
In this work, we use finite elements simulations to study the far field properties of two plasmonic structures, namely a dipole antenna and a cylinder dimer, connected to a pair of nanorods. We show that electrical, rather than near field, coupling between ...
2021Evaluation of dielectric elastomers to develop materials suitable for actuation
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne, Morgan Almanza
Electroactive polymers based on dielectric elastomers are stretchable and compressible capacitors that can act as transducers between electrical and mechanical energies. Depending on the targeted application, soft actuators, sensors or mechanical-energy ha ...
2021Solar energy potential at the Great St Bernard Pass
Josef Andreas Schuler, Pietro Florio, David Notzon
The historical site of the Great St Bernard Pass, situated in the Alps at an elevation of 2469 m, records very high electricity consumptions. This study aims at evaluating the photovoltaic potential at the pass. The analysis was performed on the envelope s ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Lightning-Induced Voltages on Overhead Distribution Lines Computed through Analytical Expressions for the Electromagnetic Fields
Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri
The evaluation of lightning ElectroMagnetic (EM) fields represents the most cumbersome part of the lightning-induced voltages computation process. Their evaluation is usually performed through a numerical routine or with simplified analytical expressions, ...
2021The Potential of Vehicle-to-Grid to Support the Energy Transition: A Case Study on Switzerland
Bratislav Svetozarevic, Loris Di Natale
Energy systems are undergoing a profound transition worldwide, substituting nuclear and thermal power with intermittent renewable energy sources (RES), creating discrepancies between the production and consumption of electricity and increasing their depend ...
2021A performance-driven simulation workflow for PV integration into the design process: application on an innovative building project in Switzerland
In the construction sector, the integration of active elements functioning both as building envelope material and on-site electricity generator is identified as a key measure to achieve the 2050 targets and carbon neutrality (Aguacil Moreno, 2019; Aguacil ...
2021Synergistic optimization of renewable energy installations through evolution strategy
Michael Lehning, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Annelen Kahl
With large parts of the world moving toward renewable energies, there is an urgent need to organize this large-scale transition effectively. This paper presents a new methodology to guide the planning and siting of renewable electricity generation for coun ...
