Physics based energy yield modelling of thin-film photovoltaics KU Leuven

Jef Poortmans
ESAT - ELECTA, Electrical Energy and Computer Architectures, Electrical Energy Systems and Applications (ELECTA)

Solar energy accounts for 60% of the predicted growth in renewables in the next 5 years. Various research institutes have developed energy yield prediction models to accurately estimate the fluctuating power output of a crystalline Silicon (c-Si) PV. State of the art energy yield models for Silicon PV are available from various research organizations like Sandia Laboratories IMEC, TNO and NREL. These yield prediction models have given the ...

Applying silicon solar cell technology to revolutionize the design of thin-film solar cells and enhance their efficiency, cost and stability Hasselt University

Engineering Materials and Applications
Thin film (TF) photovoltaics (PV) hold high potential for Building Integrated PV, an important market as European buildings require to be nearly zero-energy by 2020. Currently, Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (= CIGS(e)) TF solar cells have high efficiency, but also a simple one-dimensional cell design with stability and reliability concerns. Furthermore, its present research has been mainly focused on improving the absorber and buffer layers. Scientifically, ...

ARLEA- Advanced Recombination Junction Layer Engineering and Application for Up-scalable and Stable Monolithic Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells with Two Different Bottom Cells. (Si-CIGS) Hasselt University

Bart VERMANG
Engineering Materials and Applications
The future of high-efficient solar cell technologies is tandem applications. Today, over 25% power conversion efficiency (pce) is reached by CIGS-perovskite(PSK), 29% by Si-PSK, and 21% by PSK-PSK tandems. However, soon, when a limit for the pce of tandem solar cells is reached, researchers will start questioning the reason only then, since the focus worldwide now is on creating more efficient solar cells rather than the more profound analysis. ...

support implementation type module for family diagnostics Ghent University

Eric Broekaert
Department of Special Needs Education

This contract is for the scientific support for the implementation of a module type family assessment within the centers of integral family care (CIGS). The objectives (DS) of this command are as follows: - Content and process monitoring of the implementation of the family diagnostic process (according to the content script) including the application of the ethical frame, in a plurality of CIG - Give and follow-up of formation, supervision ...

The impact of intrinsic defects in the absorber on the performance of CuInxGa1-xSe2 solar cells and on conventional characterization techniques. Ghent University

Johan Lauwaert
Department of Electronics and information systems

In this proposal we will use electric detected FTIR-spectroscopy and regression analysis of optical variants of DLTS to determine the influence of intrinsic defects in CIGS solar cells on the kinetics of charge carriers. This will allow to determine their impact on the performance and propose a protocol to detect their presence via conventional characterization techniques using SCAPS simulations.

Preklinisch onderzoek naar de neuroprotectieve effecten van de insuline-achtige groeifactor IGF-I in een ratmodel voor focale cerebrale ischemie. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Ron Kooijman
Pharmacology
Een cerebrovasculair accident is de voornaamste oorzaak van morbiditeit in de Europese Unie en wereldwijd is het de belangrijkste oorzaak van verworven invaliditeit. Gezien de vergrijzing van de bevolking en de langere levensverwachting zal de incidentie in de komende jaren nog stijgen. Tachtig procent van de beroertes wordt veroorzaakt door obstructie van een bloedvat in de hersenen door een thrombose of een embool. Tot op heden is reperfusie ...
