Encapsulation strategies for mechanical impact and damp heat reliability improvement of lightweight photovoltaic modules towards vehicle-integrated applications

Lightweight modules are essential for next-generation vehicle-integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) applications, such as solar-powered cars, allowing integration of solar cells beyond the roof, and on the hood, boot and body panels, and thereby extending the dri ...

Dissecting the photoacidity of spiropyran/merocyanine molecular switches in water

Cesare Berton

Photochemistry is a discipline that studies the interaction between light and matter with the scope to induce chemical transformations. The first conjugation between light and chemistry can be dated back to the lifespan of Giacomo Luigi Ciamician, who is c ...

On the possibility of extending the service life of winter roads using renewable energy sources

Elizaveta Sharaborova

It is hard to overestimate the role of winter roads in the land logistics of the northern regions. In recent years, climate change has not only significantly reduced the service life of winter roads, but also made them less predictable. This forces transpo ...

How Forward-Scattering Snow and Terrain Change the Alpine Radiation Balance With Application to Solar Panels

Michael Lehning, Annelen Kahl

Rough terrain in mid- and high latitudes is often covered with highly reflective snow, giving rise to a very complex transfer of incident sunlight. In order to simplify the radiative transfer in weather and climate models, snow is generally treated as an i ...

Photoinduced processes in hybrid perovskite for optoelectronics

Valentin Ianis Emmanuel Queloz

Hybrids organic-inorganic perovskite(HOP) solar cells have unequivocally the potential for being a new generation of solar panels with a lower cost and a greater efficiency than well-known silicon solar panels. Today, even if HOPs are seen as one of the be ...

SCCER JA-RED - Report on the performance of the implemented solutions with guidelines for subsequent implementation - D1.2.4

Luc Girardin, Luise Middelhauve

The foreseen important increase of the penetration of distributed renewable energies technologies into the electricity distribution grid is expected to lead to some major challenges. On the one hand, a large and synchronous production could lead in certain ...

Carbazol-phenyl-phenothiazine-based sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Lukas Pfeifer, Wei Huang, Dan Ren, Zhongjin Shen, Yunfei Jiao, Yi Ding

Heteroaromatic units are commonly used as pi-spacers for sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Here, we investigated the influence of the pi-spacer on the photophysical properties, electrochemical properties and photovoltaic performance of car ...

Parametric study of URBAN morphology on building solar energy potential in Singapore context

Jérôme Henri Kämpf

In 2014, the Singapore government announced plans to increase the adoption of solar power, including by integrating solar PV systems into the urban environment. Careful planning of a neighbourhood at early design stage, which determines the overall urban m ...

Reliability and Performance of Model Predictive Control for Demand Response with Residential Heat Pumps

Frédéric Louis-Pierre Raphaël Marie Amblard

Distributed energy resources like solar panels and wind turbines are increasingly replacing fossil fuel energy sources. Due to their natural fluctuations they cause imbalance in the power grid when their production does not overlap with demand. Thus, there ...

Investigations into Nanostructured Materials for Water Splitting and Direct Solar Energy Harvesting

Filip Mateusz Podjaski

This thesis deals with different aspects of renewable energy transformation and storage concepts and connects them. Although renewable energy installations are growing worldwide, their use is limited by storage technologies. As such, water splitting for hy ...
