[IEEE 2018 IEEE 23rd International Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD) - Barcelona (2018.9.17-2018.9.19)] 2018 IEEE 23rd International Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD) - Harvesting artificial light indoors to power perpetually a Wireless Sensor Network node
摘要： Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) devices are usually battery powered and thereby their lifetime is limited. This issue leads to lose data measurements and thus to a performance loss of the underlying WSN application. It also increases the maintenance cost in Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios with a huge number of WSN devices. Energy harvesting (EH) is one of the key technologies to solve this issue. In this paper, energy harvesting by artificial light is proposed to power WSN devices in indoor scenarios. Contrary to the state-of-the-art related work, this paper experimentally demonstrates that it is possible, under certain conditions, to achieve energy neutral WSN devices by harvesting energy from artificial light. The experimental setup consists of an EH module, which powers a WSN source data acquisition node, and a WSN sink node which receives the data sent by the first. The EH module consists of a photovoltaic (PV) cell, a boost converter and a 3V coin battery.

Optimization of laser-patterning process and module design for transparent amorphous silicon thin-film module using thin OMO back electrode
摘要： Transparent hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film solar modules are fabricated using oxide-metal-oxide (OMO) electrodes as the back electrode for building-integrated photovoltaic applications. The outer aluminum-doped zinc oxide and inner silver layers constitute a thin OMO electrode (~110 nm thick), exhibiting a sheet resistance of 6.8 Ω/□ and an average transmittance of ~88% in the visible range of 400–800 nm. The external quantum efficiency and average transmittance of the cell were investigated for the absorber-layer thickness using the finite-difference time-domain method, and it was found that the optical loss in the cell was mainly due to the absorption of the front electrode in the ultra-violet region and free-carrier absorption of the OMO in the infrared region. Fabrication issues are introduced for a 532 nm short-pulse high-power laser patterning process for transparent modules with thin OMO electrodes. Optimization of the laser power for the P2 and P3 laser processes is demonstrated by observing the profiles and measuring the shunt resistance of the laser-patterned edges. Furthermore, the cell width is optimized based on an equivalent circuit model using PSpice simulation. The highest module efficiency and average transparency achieved in the range of 500–800 nm were 5.6% and 15.2%, respectively. The short-circuit current density, fill factor, and open-circuit voltage per cell of the module were found to be 10.8 mA/cm2, 62.7%, and 0.830 V, respectively.

Thermophotovoltaic applications in waste heat recovery systems: example of GaSb cell
摘要： In this study, it is aimed at evaluating real data in high temperature GaSb cell thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems. The TPV systems are considered as an alternative energy source in terms of efficient use of waste heat, cost and efficiency. The TPV system can be defined as a system that converts waste heat energy emitted from heat sources into electrical energy at high temperature. In this context, efficiency and parameters of TPV GaSb cells have been determined in laboratory conditions. The conversion of the high temperature applied to the cell to electrical energy has been investigated by selecting the GaSb photovoltaic cell as the cell type. According to the analysis have been done so far, TPV high-temperature real graphics have been obtained using GaSb cell. The temperature parameters used are, namely, cell temperature and source temperature. With these graphs, energy efficiency, fill factor, effect of open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current values have been determined. While the efficiency value of the GaSb TPV cell systems was calculated, the radiation source temperature values have been taken in increments of 300 K between 1300 and 3100 K. In this analysis, the optimum energy conversion efficiency values of GaSb solar cell structure have been detected to be 21.57%. Opinions about the feasibility, efficiency and development of thermophotovoltaic energy conversion systems are stated, and suggestions are presented.

Combined Optical-Electrical Optimization of Cd1a??xZnxTe/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells
摘要： Although the fundamental limits have been established for the single junction solar cells, tandem configurations are one of the promising approaches to surpass these limits. One of the candidates for the top cell absorber is CdTe, as the CdTe photovoltaic technology has significant advantages: stability, high performance, and relatively inexpensive. In addition, it is possible to tune the CdTe bandgap by introducing, for example, Zn into the composition, forming Cd1?xZnxTe alloys, which can fulfill the Shockley–Queisser limit design criteria for tandem devices. The interdigitated back contact (IBC) silicon solar cells presented record high efficiencies recently, making them an attractive candidate for the rear cell. In this work, we present a combined optical and electrical optimization of Cd1?xZnxTe/IBC Si tandem configurations. Optical and electrical loss mechanisms are addressed, and individual layers are optimized. Alternative electron transport layers and transparent conductive electrodes are discussed for maximizing the top cell and tandem efficiency.

Decent efficiency improvement of organic photovoltaic cell with low acidic hole transport material by controlling doping concentration
摘要： Presently, poly (3, 4-ethylenedi-oxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS) is most commonly used hole transport material (HTM) in photovoltaic (PV) cells but its higher acidity, hygroscopicity, high price have motivated people to develop a good substitute. Here, we prepare a series of PSS-doped polyaniline (PANI) with synergic (around 90%) transmittance and work function value (within 5.09-5.16 eV) varying PSS concentrations to check the possible utility as HTM in a poly (3-hexylthiophene): [6, 6]-indene-C60 bisadduct based organic photovoltaic (OPV) cell. Here, it is observed that, because of change in conductivity, the PV performance of those OPV devices is strongly dependent on the doping concentration of the HTM and, at optimized PSS concentration, PANI:PSS has higher conductivity. This facilitates better hole extraction efficiency into the PV device and results in higher short circuit current density (JSC). Therefore, the PANI:PSS-based OPV device with optimized PSS concentration exhibits same level of power conversion efficiency (PCE: 4.5±0.2 %) as a PEDOT:PSS based OPV device. Thus, a lower acidic (pH = 2.2) p-type semiconductor PANI:PSS (weight ratio = 1:1 and) can be a good alternative to highly acidic (pH = 1.7) PEDOT:PSS ( weight ratio = 1:6, Clevious Al 4083) for using as HTM in an OPV device.

PHOTOVOLTAIC THERMAL TECHNOLOGY WITH COMPOUND PARABOLIC CONCENTRATOR
摘要： The hybrid solar system contains a photovoltaic cell (PV) module and compound parabolic concentrator (CPC). The present study aims to evaluate the potential for the introduction of the PV/T technology into Gujarat, India. The photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system converts the solar radiation into thermal and electrical energy simultaneously. The solar radiation increases the temperature of PV modules, resulting in a drop in electrical efficiency. Through circulation of water with low temperature, heat can be extracted from the PV modules to improve the electrical efficiency. The extracted thermal energy can be used for heating purpose. The individual electrical efficiency of the PV module and thermal efficiency of CPC have been observed as 13.56% and 53.92% respectively.While the combined efficiency found as 79.18%, which is higher than the individual performance of the PV module and CPC. The combined PV/T system is a new era in solar-based power system.

A new metaphor-less algorithms for the photovoltaic cell parameter estimation
摘要： The performance of the solar photovoltaic (PV) system can be improved by an accurate modelling of the solar cells, but cell modelling is inaccurate due to the lack of precise solar cell parameters. To model a reliable solar PV cell, the required parameters will not be provided in the manufacturer’s datasheet. Therefore, it’s necessary to estimate the required parameters adequately. Thereby, with this observation, in this paper, proposed a simple multi-objective optimization algorithm to estimate the cell parameters. Various optimization algorithms address this issue; however, most of the algorithms produce suboptimal results due to local minima and premature convergence. So, this paper proposes two simple metaphor-less algorithms named as Rao-2 (R-II), and Rao-3 (R-III) algorithm to estimate the PV cell parameters. The performance of the proposed algorithms is compared with other well-known optimization algorithms to show the pro?ciency of the proposed algorithms. To validate the performance of the proposed algorithms, the estimated parameters are compared with experimental results, including statistical analysis. Moreover, from the results, it can be judged that the proposed algorithms are more suitable for the estimation of three types of solar PV models e?ectively.

Photovoltaic cells with various azo dyes as components of the active layer
摘要： The photovoltaic response of six cells with an active layer of heterocyclic azo dyes is presented for the first time. The active azo layers differed in the type of substituent (i.e. electron-donating: CH3, OCH3 and electron withdrawing: Br). We showed that by changing the substituent in the heterocyclic azo dye we change the power efficiency of the device. It should be mentioned that all presented data showed high potential of heterocyclic azo dyes for effective photovoltaic output. The studied heterocyclic azo dyes have higher photovoltaic parameters than those obtained for photovoltaic cell with 4-Diethoxyphenylsilylazobenzene.
