Optimal blade pitch control for enhanced vertical-axis wind turbine performance
Karen Ann J Mulleners, Sébastien Le Fouest
Vertical-axis wind turbines are great candidates to enable wind power extraction in urban and off-shore applications. Currently, concerns around turbine efficiency and structural integrity limit their industrial deployment. Flow control can mitigate these ...
2024Identification and Mitigation of Degradation Mechanisms Induced by Heat and Light in NiOx-based Perovskite Solar Cells
Marion Solange Madeleine Dussouillez
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) offer an attractive solution to increase the efficiency of PV panels via perovskite/silicon tandems thanks to their potential cost-effectiveness and high efficiency. In inverted PSC architecture (p-i-n), commonly used hole con ...
EPFL2024Impact of renewable energy hubs configurations on the national infrastructure
This research presents a framework to identify and integrate typical districts in a national energy system to assess the impact of decentralized energy hub configurations. The framework includes a two-step global sensitivity analysis to determine the model ...

2023Overview of key results achieved in H2020 HighLite project helping to raise the EU PV industries' competitiveness
Antonin Faes, Hugo James André Quest, Gizem Nogay, Giuseppe Galbiati, Ning Chen
The EU crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV manufacturing industry has faced strong foreign competition in the last decade. To strive in this competitive environment and differentiate itself from the competition, the EU c-Si PV manufacturing industry needs to (1) ...
WILEY2023Visualizing Interfacial Energy Offset and Defects in Efficient 2D/3D Heterojunction Perovskite Solar Cells and Modules
Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Yong Ding, Bin Ding
Currently, the full potential of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is limited by chargecarrier recombination owing to imperfect passivation methods. Here, the recombination loss mechanisms owing to the interfacial energy offset and defects are quantified. The ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Decomposition Strategy for Districts as Renewable Energy Hubs
François Maréchal, Cédric Terrier, Luise Middelhauve
In light of the energy transition, it becomes a widespread solution to decentralize and to decarbonize energy systems. However, limited transformer capacities are a hurdle for large-scale integration of solar energy in the electricity grid. The aim of this ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Contribution of storage technologies to renewable energy hubs
A holistic approach, considering all the energy needs of a territory, should be adopted in the challenge of the energy transition. Synergies between the different end-use demand sectors must be developed, in order to optimize the efficient use of resources ...
2022Heat recovery potential from ventilated passive and active facades
Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad
A ventilated air-space behind external claddings can potentially affect the thermal performance of the entire building structure. In particular, in the Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) facades, ventilated cavities are typically present between the P ...
TU Delft OPEN2022Well-Defined Copper-Based Nanocatalysts for Selective Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 to Ethylene and Ethanol
Raffaella Buonsanti, Ludovic Emile Frédy Zaza, Kevin Rossi
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) holds the promise to revolutionize the chemical industry by producing value-added chemicals and fuels from CO2 and water while storing renewable energy. However, catalyst design still remains one of the ma ...
