Optimal geometric design of monolithic thin-film solar modules: Architecture of polymer solar cells

In this study the geometrical optimization of monolithically integrated solar cells into serially connected solar modules is reported. Based on the experimental determination of electrodes0 sheet and intermittent contact resistances. the overall series resistance of individual solar cells and interconnected solar modules is calculated. Taking a constant photocurrent generation density …

Techno-economic valuation and optimization of integrated photovoltaic wind energy conversion system

Decentralized electricity generation by renewable energy sources offer greater security of supply for consumers while respecting the environment. But the random nature of these sources requires us to develop sizing rules and use these systems to exploit them. This paper proposes an integrated PV wind hybrid system optimization model. which …

Characterization for Novel Non-traditional CMOS Inverter Composed of a Junctionless NMOSFET and a Gated N + -N–P Transistor

We present a non-traditional CMOS inverter composed a junctionless (JL) NMOSFET and an N+ -N–P transistor which with simple process and high integration density in this paper. In the non-traditional CMOS inverter the JL NMOSFET serves as driver and the N–P transistor serves as load. respectively. Based on the measurement …

Battery Energy Storage Station (BESS)-Based Smoothing Control of Photovoltaic (PV) and Wind Power Generation Fluctuations

The battery energy storage station (BESS) is the current and typical means of smoothing wind- or solar-power generation fluctuations. Such BESS-based hybrid power systems require a suitable control strategy that can effectively regulate power output levels and battery state of charge (SOC). This paper presents the results of a wind …
