Tan, H. (author), Sivec, L. (author), Yan, B. (author), Santbergen, R. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Smets, A.H.M. (author)We show experimentally that the photocurrent of thin-film hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (?c-Si:H) solar cells can be enhanced by 4.5?mA/cm2 with a plasmonic back reflector (BR). The light trapping performance is improved using plasmonic BR with broader angular scattering and lower parasitic absorption loss through tuning the size of...journal article 2013

Jäger, K. (author), Fischer, M. (author), Van Swaaij, R.A.C.M.M. (author), Zeman, M. (author)Thin-film silicon solar cells (TFSSC), which can be manufactured from abundant materials solely, contain nano-textured interfaces that scatter the incident light. We present an approximate very fast algorithm that allows optimizing the surface morphology of two-dimensional nano-textured interfaces. Optimized nano-textures scatter the light...journal article 2013

(author)We study n-i-p amorphous silicon solar cells with light-scattering nanoparticles in the back reflector. In one configuration, the particles are fully embedded in the zinc oxide buffer layer; In a second configuration, the particles are placed between the buffer layer and the flat back electrode. We use stencil lithography to produce the same...journal article 2013

Xue, H. (author), Popov, M. (author)Large transient overvoltages are normally caused by vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) switching operation during disconnection of induction motors. In this paper VCBs, cables, generators, busbars, induction motors and surge arresters are modeled by making use of ATP-EMTP. Switching transient overvoltages of four typical induction motors are analyzed...conference paper 2013

Popov, M. (author), Rietveld, G. (author), Radojevic, Z. (author), Terzija, V. (author)This paper presents a fault location algorithm that can be used to accurately locate the fault at any place along mixed line-cable transmission corridors. The algorithm is an impedance based line/cable parameter dependent algorithm. The fault location algorithm is derived using distributed line model, modal transformation theory and Discrete...conference paper 2013

Hoogendorp, G. (author), Popov, M. (author), Van der Sluis, L. (author)Transmission of electric energy at high voltage levels is mainly performed by overhead lines. Nowadays, an increasing amount of power grid operators are replacing overhead transmission lines by underground cables. Cable presence in power systems may have consequences for the behavior of the total system, since cables have much larger capacitance...conference paper 2013

Sprenger, W. (author)Building-integrated photovoltaic systems (BIPV) are able to improve the energy balance of buildings. However, this improvement can be analyzed quantitatively only if the electricity yield generated by the BIPV system is calculated. This PhD thesis presents a simulation program that calculates the electricity yield generated by BIPV systems,...doctoral thesis 2013

Rodrigues, S. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Pierik, J. (author)Although, only in recent years, northern European countries started to install large offshore wind farms, it is expected that by 2020, several dozens of far and large offshore wind farms (FLOWFs) will be built. These FLOWFs will be constituted of a considerable amount of wind turbines (WTs) packed together, leading to an energy density increase....conference paper 2013
