The use of DC microgrids in combination with photovoltaic (PV) energy generation sources results in higher efficiencies by avoiding AC to DC conversion. Moreover, bipolar DC grids allow for more system flexibility and increased reliability at the cost of an additional conductor when compared to unipolar DC. However, maximum power point tracking ...

The journey towards increasing thin film solar cell efficiency is a continuously ongoing one, where each layer in the cell adds its own contributions and limitations. The transparent conductive oxide (TCO) is the first layer to encounter incident light on these cells and therefore needs to fulfil the requirement of high transparency. Carriers...

To enable affordable and environmentally friendly eletrical energy storage, a battery was designed using sea-water as electrolyte. The performance of this battery was tested through repeated cycling under a variety of circumstances. The Coulombic and energetic efficiency were around 80% and 68% respectively. The battery saw a strong drop in...

The European Green Deal states that it wants to develop 40 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2030 in North Africa to combat climate change. Using PV power as the primary energy source, a system is designed that can produce green hydrogen and ammonia to investigate how the location and the capacity of the components can be optimized to produce at...

The current energy systems with the mix of renewable and conventional sources are already working on their maximum capacity in order to meet the existing demand. In the near future to meet the burgeoning demand, the future electrical power system would be a mix of both AC and DC systems coexisting with each other. With the fast paced development...

PAPADOPOULOS, ILIAS (author)
One of the main reasons that the efficiency drops from cell to module is the conduction losses. To increase the efficiency of the PV module, the produced charge carriers in the semiconductor materials should be transferred to the PV module terminals with minimum conduction losses. As an alternative to the conventional cells and modules...

Zervas, Christos (author)
The energy transition, is one of the most important topics nowadays. Renewable energy sources contribution in the energy mix is growing rapidly. However, due to their intermittent power output, they cannot ensure system security and stability, and therefore, energy storage technologies are needed. In this direction, hydrogen is an energy carrier...

Several studies have posed that international cooperative initiatives lead by businesses could aid in mitigating global warming in ways that are additional to national policies. However, evaluations on their progress are rare due to many informational issues. This research gap is worrisome since such initiatives can also have negative effects on...

Thin-film flexible solar panels can be utilized on many surfaces where conventional solar panels are hard to be used such as side walls of buildings, ship roofs or curved surfaces. In conventional solar cells, glass is used to protect the panels from external damage. However due to its heavy weight and rigidity, glass is not an option for thin...

In 2017, Hurricane Maria proved how fragile Puerto Rico’s grid is to natural disasters. The consequence of this fragility was the longest power blackout in the history of the U.S., which affected 3.3 million people, lasted for 3.4 billion customer-hours, and resulted in economic losses estimated in 95 billion USD. The solution, then, is energy...
