The bright side of PV production in snow-covered mountains
摘要： Our work explores the prospect of bringing the temporal production profile of solar photovoltaics (PV) into better correlation with typical electricity consumption patterns in the midlatitudes. To do so, we quantify the potential of three choices for PV installations that increase production during the winter months when electricity is most needed. These are placements that favor (i) high winter irradiance, (ii) high ground-reflected radiation, and (iii) steeper-than-usual panel tilt angles. In addition to spatial estimates of the production potential, we compare the performance of different PV placement scenarios in urban and mountain environments for the country of Switzerland. The results show that the energy deficit in a future fully renewable production from wind power, hydropower, and geothermal power could be significantly reduced when solar PV is installed at high elevations. Because the temporal production patterns match the typical demand more closely than the production in urban environments, electricity production could be shifted from summer to winter without reducing the annual total production. Such mountain installations require significantly less surface area and, combined with steeper panel tilt angles, up to 50% of the winter deficit in electricity production can be mediated.

Expansion of the Supply of Solar Energy and Cost Cutting of Housing Programs for Low-Income and Middle Class Families
摘要： The purpose of this article to reconcile two public policy objectives: to provide housing for low-income families (through the expansion of the Minha Casa, Minha Vida (My Home, My Life) Program) with reduction of costs, and to expand the supply of renewable (solar) energy to dilute the harmful effects on the environment of the excessive use of energy from hydroelectric and thermal sources. The idea is not new, as similar programs already exist in Germany that invests heavily in solar power. What is encouraging is the amplitude of solar power generation that can be achieved in Brazil. Solar energy accounts for 40% of the global energy mix as opposed to Brazil’s share of 0.01%, showing enormous potential for expansion, as we are blessed with considerable year-round solar energy, unlike countries with very unstable weather conditions. We show that the cost to install solar panels and batteries for a low-income three-member family with the sale of surplus energy to a power distribution concessionaire represents an approximate increase of R$ 48,000 on the total amount that they already pay for their home loan. However, these families will actually pay around 40% of the funding, as the balance is deducted from the surplus value generated by the photovoltaic system. The total generation of solar energy would reach 164TWh with this program — today it is 11MWh —, climbing steeply from a 0.01% share in the composition of the mix to over 31% of the national power generation. This proposal also provides an increase in the disposable income of families participating in housing programs and reduces the subsidy for housing programs.

Mechanism Behind the Easy Exfoliation of Ga <sub/>2</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> Ultra-Thin Film Along (100) Surface
摘要： The transparent wide band gap semiconductor β-Ga2O3 has gained wide attention due to its suitability to a wide range of applications. Despite not being a van der Waals material and having highly strong ionic bonding, the material can be mechanically cleaved and exfoliated easily along favorable surfaces to make ultra-thin layers and used in device fabrications. One of the interesting properties of this material is that thin layers preserve the pristine bulk-like electronic properties, which makes it even more promising for applications in power devices. However, very little is known about the mechanism why such ultra-thin film or even single bilayer exfoliation is favorable from the bulk. In this letter, we have explained the mechanism of such phenomenon by detailed analyses of different types of Ga–O bonding character. The protocol of methodology used and developed in this study can be utilized in general to understand bond breaking and forming of other complex materials as well. This understanding will give us a better control to fabricate thin film 2D devices.

Pay-As-You-Go financing: A model for viable and widespread deployment of solar home systems in rural India
摘要： Decentralised Solar Home Systems (SHSs) are established as an effective strategy to connect the ‘last mile’ without electricity access and leapfrog communities to clean energy solutions. According to the World Bank, the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model has emerged as one of the effective commercially viable solutions to provide decentralised energy access to rural and remote communities in developing nations. The paying ability of households is a critical challenge for energy enterprises, and PAYG, with its easy payment schemes makes solar units affordable and allows households to gradually own these systems. The model also offers user training, ongoing maintenance, and service blocking functionality that minimises investment risk. The PAYG model has demonstrated huge success in Sub-Saharan Africa where Kenya pioneered the model as a cost competitive modern alternative for kerosene. One in five people in India lack access to electricity, and grid-connected rural communities often face frequent blackouts. With the advancement in distributed solar technologies and growing penetration of the mobile telecommunications network in India, PAYG could advance into a successful model to electrify communities living off the grid. Our analysis involves a two-dimensional approach where a systematic review of PAYG literature including case studies from Kenya and India was performed, followed by three expert interviews to further augment learnings and opportunities to deploy PAYG SHSs in India. This analysis finds that India's socio-political context seems suited for increased PAYG penetration, including utilising the opportunity provided by the country's Unified Payments Interface. This paper offers insights for practitioners and policymakers to consider the PAYG model to deploy clean electricity to households and rural micro-enterprises.

Battery lifetime enhancement via smart hybrid energy storage plug-in module in standalone photovoltaic power system
摘要： Standalone photovoltaic power system is one of the feasible solutions in rural electri?cation. However, due to the intermittent nature of solar energy and signi?cant demand variations due to small load size, energy storage devices are needed to ensure power quality and reliability. Lead-acid battery bank has been widely used in such systems to act as the intermediate bu?er to compensate the power mismatch between generation and demand, despite the poor lifetime characteristics and relatively short service life compared to other energy storage devices. Most charge controllers only provide basic battery charging functionality and prevent the battery bank from overcharging and deep-discharging. While other notable aging factors such as frequent charge-discharge transition, high C-rate and surge power are often neglected. This paper presents a smart hybrid energy storage plug-in module that aims to enhance the service life of Lead-acid battery in standalone photovoltaic-battery power systems by mitigating life-limiting factors such as current ?uctuations and surge current. This module is designed as a plug-in module that can be adopted directly in existing infrastructure in installed standalone PV-battery power system. The e?ectiveness of the proposed plug-in module in mitigating battery stresses is simulated in Matlab Simulink with actual solar irradiance data and estimated load pro?le for a rural community in Sarawak Malaysia. The simulation results are validated experimentally with the scaled-down photovoltaic-battery power system. The e?ectiveness in mitigating battery stress is quantitatively evaluated with battery health cost function, while the reduction in overall battery cost is analyzed and discussed.

Design and optimization of grid-tied and off-grid solar PV systems for super-efficient electrical appliances
摘要： Modeling, simulation, and optimization methods are used in the present study to design grid-tied and off-grid solar PV systems for super-efficient electrical appliances for residential buildings. The principal objective of this study is to design a renewable energy system to serve the electric load of super-efficient appliances with high penetration of renewable resources and low greenhouse gas emissions and cost of energy. Hourly calculations using optimization method are used to study the daily and yearly performance and the cost of the renewable energy systems. A comparison between the performance of the grid-tied and off-grid solar PV systems using conventional and super-efficient appliances in Dubai is presented. The comparison includes the total power production from the solar PV system, the power purchased from the grid, the extra power sold to the utility grid, the power used to meet the electrical load of the appliances, the excess power, the renewable fraction, the greenhouse gas emissions, and the levelized cost of energy. The results of the simulation show that the integration of super-efficient appliances powered with the grid-tied solar power system is a good option to control the energy consumption of the residential buildings and to reduce the cost of electricity and greenhouse gas emissions: low building energy consumption (reduction by half of the electrical power consumption: from 62.91 to 30.78 kWh/day using super-efficient appliances); all the electrical power demand for the building is met without shortage; the power systems produce low excess power (0.29–1.82%) compared to the off-grid power system; all the extra power from the solar PV is sold back to the grid to reduce the cost of energy, high renewable fraction (68% of the total energy served to the load is produced from solar PV), low-cost of electricity (12% reduction of the cost of energy compared to the utility grid), and low greenhouse gas emissions (45–51% reductions of the CO2, NOX, and SO2 emissions compared to the conventional electrical appliances).

Energy disorder and energy level alignment between host and dopant in organic semiconductors
摘要： Energy level alignment between host and dopant molecules plays a critical role in exciton formation and harvesting in light emission zone of organic light-emitting diodes. Understanding the mechanism for predicting energy level alignment is thus important in materials selection for fabricating high-performance organic light-emitting devices. Here we show that host-dopant energy level alignment strongly depends on film thickness and substrate work function by using X-ray and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. Invariant Gaussian density of states fails to explain the experimental data. We speculate that energy disorder in molecules next to the surface dictates the alignment. Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy measurements of several archetypical organic semiconductors confirm our speculation. An empirical interface disorder function is derived and used to construct a functional Gaussian density of states to compute host energy levels. Host-dopant energy level alignment is then computed by applying the universal energy alignment rule and is found in excellent agreement with the experimental data.

Electronic and optical properties of double perovskite oxide Pb2ScMO6 (M = Ta, Sb) using a first principles approach
摘要： In this study, the electronic and optical properties of the double perovskite (DP) oxides Pb2ScMO6 (M = Sb, Ta) were systematically investigated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave model. Calculations were performed using both the generalized gradient approximation and modified Becke–Johnson potentials. The results showed that the O-atom is responsible for the maxima in the density of states (DOS) in the valence band, whereas the Sc-atom contributes to the maximum DOS in the conduction band. The dielectric constants, absorption coefficients, and reflectivity were also calculated for these systems. The results indicated the presence of wide band gaps in both of these DPs, thereby indicating their insulating semiconducting nature.

Energy Management and Coordinated Control Strategy of PV/HESS AC Microgrid during Islanded Operation
摘要： An energy management control strategy is proposed for an islanded AC microgrid with the hybrid energy storage system (HESS) including the battery and the supercapacitor (SC). According to the state of charge(SOC) of the battery, the photovoltaic (PV) system can work in either maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode or load power tracking (LPT) mode to prevent the battery from over charging. Similarly, the load shedding control (LSC) is adopted to prevent the battery from over discharging. A virtual impedance control strategy is proposed to achieve effective power sharing in hybrid energy storage systems, where battery provides steady state power and SC only supports transient power fluctuations. The terminal voltage of SC can be restored to the initial value automatically by introducing a high pass filter in the voltage control loop. The AC bus voltage maintains constant using the voltage secondary controller to compensate the voltage droop caused by the virtual impedance control strategy. Simulation results under typical working conditions verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
