With the “Energy Strategy 2050”, Switzerland is planning to gradually withdraw from the use of nuclear energy and consequently integrate a larger share of renewables sources. Among all types of renewable sources, photovoltaic systems are ideally suited for ...
We present a techno-economic analysis of solar-driven hightemperature electrolysis systems used for the production of hydrogen and synthesis gas. We consider different strategies for the incorporation of solar energy, distinguished by the use of differing ...
A hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system is having the capability to convert solar energy to both electricity and thermal energy simultaneously and these systems can use to accomplish the energy demand of buildings. Performance analysis of such systems ...
Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) will have an important role in the optimal operation of Active Distribution Networks (ADNs). Within this context, this paper focuses on the problem of ESSs optimal siting and sizing. Following similar approaches already propos ...
Amidst a backdrop of rapidly increasing world-wide electricity demand, solar thermal power generation shows great potential for supplying the electricity needs of numerous countries in the Sun-belt regions of the world. In these regions, the absence of sig ...
Decentralized energy sy stems are increasingly seen as a key factor for a transition towards a low-car- bon, renewable energy based society. Within the transition process, regional demand and supply of renewable energy carriers have to be aligned, while co ...
This document is conceived for architects and intended to be as clear and practical as possible. It summarizes the knowledge needed to integrate active solar technologies (solar thermal and photovoltaics) into buildings, handling at the same time architect ...

This paper describes the City Energy Analyst (CEA), a computational framework for the analysis and optimization of energy systems in neighborhoods and city districts. The framework allows analyzing the energy, carbon and financial benefits of multiple urba ...
This paper presents the results of the semester thesis realized in the frame of the minor in energy and conducted within the IPESE laboratory. This work aims to study the integration of a high concentration photovoltaic thermal system (HCPVT) with a wastew ...
