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...

A major transition became necessary for the maritime industry to meet the IMO’s targets for mitigating the carbon footprint of the sector by at least 50% by 2050. One of the promising methods to lower the emissions is the ship's hybridization. An enormous increase in pilot and demonstration projects for that purpose is being observed. This...

Due to more stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) emission regulations in the maritime industry, solutions are being sought to decrease the GHG emissions of crew transfer vessels used in offshore wind farms. Multiple alternative fuels and power generating systems can be used to decrease these emissions. In this research, a comparative study is...

In recent decades, there has been increasing concern about the impact of climate change on the earth. Various countries are actively developing sustainable energy technologies, of which solar cell is one of the new energy sources with the most attention. This thesis is based on poly−Si(O<sub>x</sub>) cells consisting of SiO<sub>x</sub>/poly−Si(O...

With an increase in population, there is increasing pressure and higher demand in world energy production. Even though there is a high dependency on fossil fuels renewable energy usage has seen a sharp rise in recent years. Solar energy is a major player and contributes a lot to this field. The thin-film solar cell which is a part of second...

Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) play important roles in information and energy technologies. In the photovoltaic (PV) community, they are normally required to provide sufficient lateral carrier transport towards metal electrodes at the illumination side. Thus, a trade­off between optical and electrical<br/>properties is of critical...

Nowadays the interest for environmental issues is steadily gaining ground. Inescapably, the shipping industry, is also called to contribute its fair share towards the reduction of air pollution. Harbour tugboats need to comply both with international but also with local exhaust air emission regulations, which are anticipated to become more...

In this thesis a simplified vehicle model was developed using linear correlations between incidental power demand and energy usage at four different stages: 1) propulsion, 2) propulsion during braking, 3) regenerative braking, and 4) maximum regenerative power. In the model the efficiencies of: charging and discharging of the battery, the...

Achieving high efficiency solar cells becomes more interesting in order to make solar cell become cost competitive to the other renewable energy sources. Transparent conductive oxide (TCO) which has a requirement to be chemically stable, high transparency and high conductivity, and also application for light trapping application makes it...

Within thin-film silicon solar cells, the so-called Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) plays an important role. The optimization of TCOs is a very meticulous process since these thin layers not only need to be both highly transparent and conductive, but are also used for light management; that is manipulating the path of the light through the...
