Hybrid Analytical Model for AC Copper Loss Computation of Hairpin Winding

This article proposes a hybrid analytical model (HAM) for predicting ac copper losses in hairpin windings. The HAM combines the nonlinear semi-analytical model (SAM) and the 1-D ac copper loss computation model to solve the inaccurate boundary solutions of the 1-D ac copper loss computation model when magnetic saturation occurs in the stator...

Poly-crystalline silicon-oxide films as carrier-selective passivating contacts for c-Si solar cells

The poly-Si carrier-selective passivating contacts (CSPCs) parasitically absorb a substantial amount of light, especially in the form of free carrier absorption. To minimize these losses, we developed CSPCs based on oxygen-alloyed poly-Si (poly-SiO_x) and deployed them in c-Si solar cells. Transmission electron microscopy analysis...

High-efficiency black IBC c-Si solar cells with poly-Si as carrier-selective passivating contacts

In this work, we present the application of poly-Si carrier-selective passivating contacts (CSPCs) as both polarities in interdigitated back-contacted (IBC) solar cell architectures. We compared two approaches to form a gap between the back-surface field (BSF) and emitter fingers. It is proved that the gaps prepared by both approaches are...
