Design of a set of indicators suitable to help decision-making on energy strategies for Cuba

Heydi Contreras Peraza

The goal of this Master thesis project was to design a methodology that helps to analyze a set of indicators that can support the decision-making process, by identifying energy strategies with a temporal horizon 2030-2050 in Cuba. Several sources of data a ...

Countrywide PV hosting capacity and energy storage requirements for distribution networks: The case of Switzerland

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Rahul Kumar Gupta

Distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation is typically connected to power distribution grids, which are not designed to host a large amount of production if it is significantly larger than their nominal electricity demand. Given the prominent role of PV in ...

Light-Enhanced Blue Energy Generation Using MoS2 Nanopores

Aleksandra Radenovic, Andras Kis, Martina Lihter, Michael Graf, Dmitrii Unuchek, Aditya Sarathy

Blue energy relies on the chemical potential difference between solutions of high and low ionic concentrations, potentially providing an independent energy source at estuaries around the world. The energy conversion relies on reverse electrodialysis via io ...

Characterization of Amorphous Silicon Based Microchannel Plates with High Aspect Ratio

Christophe Ballif, Janina Christine Isabelle Löffler

Microchannel plates (MCPs) fabricated out of hydrogenated amorphous silicon offer a promising alternative to conventional lead glass ones. Progress in the fabrication process has allowed for detectors with higher aspect ratios, which significantly increase ...

Characterisation of a 200 kW/400 kWh Vanadium Redox Flow Battery

Hubert Girault, Véronique Amstutz

The incessant growth in energy demand has resulted in the deployment of renewable energy generators to reduce the impact of fossil fuel dependence. However, these generators often suffer from intermittency and require energy storage when there is over-gene ...
