Potapenko, Tatiana (author), Döhler, Jessica S. (author), Francisco, Francisco (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Temiz, Irina (author)Decarbonization of ports is a major goal to reduce their global carbon footprint. The port of Hvide Sande is located on the coast of the North Sea in Denmark and it has the potential to utilize various renewable energy sources. Wind and solar thermal parks are already installed there. Wave energy is an alternative to solar and wind energies and...journal article 2023

(author), Tanasa, Andreea (author), Jäger-Waldau, Arnulf (author), Taylor, Nigel (author), Smets, A.H.M. (author)Accelerating the deployment of Photovoltaic (PV) systems is a key contributing factor in achieving climate neutrality. Even though solar power is one of the cheapest energy sources and its deployment is growing rapidly around the world, an even faster growth is required to achieve existing climate goals. Besides the role that finance and...journal article 2023

van Nijen, D.A. (author), Manganiello, P. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author)Power electronics traditionally plays a crucial role in conditioning the power of photovoltaic (PV) modules and connecting the systems to the electricity grid. Recently, PV module designs with more sub-module power electronics are gaining increased attention. These designs can offer higher reliability and improved resilience against non...review 2022

Bdour, Ahmed N. (author), Al-Sadeq, Noor (author), Gharaibeh, Muna (author), Mendoza-Sammet, Angeles (author), Kennedy, M.D. (author), Salinas-Rodriguez, Sergio G. (author)Jordan was late in adopting seawater and brackish water desalination as a source until the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, ongoing studies are still discussing the technical, economic, and socio-political aspects of brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) desalination plants. In this study, the water–energy nexus was considered, in order...journal article 2022

Wohland, Jan (author), Brayshaw, David (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author)To reach its goal of net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050, the European Union seeks to massively expand wind and solar power. Relying on weather-dependent power generation, however, poses substantial risks if climate variability is not adequately understood and accounted for in energy system design. Here we quantify European wind and solar...journal article 2021

Li, B. (author), Basu, S. (author), Watson, S.J. (author), Russchenberg, H.W.J. (author)In the near future, wind and solar generation are projected to play an increasingly important role in Europe's energy sector. With such fast-growing renewable energy development, the presence of simultaneous calm wind and overcast conditions could cause significant shortfalls in production with potentially serious consequences for system...journal article 2021

Narayan, N.S. (author)Almost a billion people globally lack access to electricity. For various reasons, grid extension is not an immediately viable solution for the un(der-) electrified communities. As most of these electricity-starved regions lie in tropical latitudes, the use of off-grid solar-based solutions like solar home systems (SHS) is a logical approach....doctoral thesis 2019

(author), Yablonovich, Eli (author), Zheludev, Nikolay (author)The Winter Colloquium on the Physics of Quantum Electronics (PQE) has been a seminal force in quantum optics and related areas since 1971. It is rather mind-boggling to recognize how the concepts presented at these conferences have transformed scientific understanding and human society. In January 2017, the participants of PQE were asked to...journal article 2018

Vega Garita, V.E. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Narayan, N.S. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Due to the variable nature of the photovoltaic generation, energy storage is imperative, and the combination of both in one device is appealing for more efficient and easy‐to‐use devices. Among the myriads of proposed approaches, there are multiple challenges to overcome to make these solutions realistic alternatives to current systems. This...journal article 2018
