Design Features of Product-Integrated PV: An Evaluation of Various Factors under Indoor Irradiance Conditions

This thesis explores the field of product-integrated photovoltaics (PIPV), a term which is used for all types of products that contain solar cells in one or more of their surfaces, aiming at providing power during the product’s use. Product-integrated photovoltaics (PIPV) began to be widely introduced around 2000, although the use of PV systems...

Comparison of the indoor performance of 12 commercial PV products by a simple model

This article presents a simple comparative model which has been developed for the estimation of the performance of photovoltaic (PV) products' cells in indoor environments. The model predicts the performance of PV solar cells, as a function of the distance from a spectrum of artificial (fluorescent light, halogen light, and light-emitting diodes...

Mitigating Production Uncertainties of Renewables by Adjustable Load Scheduling

In the upcoming years, electricity markets in Europe face numerous challenges both on production and demand side. Due to decreasing investment costs for renewable energy sources (RES) and continuing government support for a transition towards green energy technologies, the market share of uncertain and volatile generation capacity will grow....
