Efficiency Enhancement of p-i-n Solar Cell Embedding Quantum Wires in the Intrinsic Layer
A high efficiency InAs/GaAs quantum wire solar cell is modelled embedding periodic array of InAs quantum wires (QW) in the intrinsic layer. The promising low dimensional heterostructure such as Quantum Wells, Quantum Wires, Quantum Dots or Dashed (elongated Dots) based intermediate-band-gap solar cells are recently being grasped the attention for ongoing third generation solar cell…
Read More A High Efficiency Ultra Thin (1.8 um) CdS/CdTe p-i-n Solar Cell with CdTe and Si as BSF layer
CdTe-based photovoltaic (PV) cells provide the lowest EBPT (energy payback time) and emit less amount of GHG (green house gases) among different types of PV cells. Thus, it is very essential to enhance the efficiency of CdTe-based solar cells. A high efficiency CdTe/CdS p-i-n heterostructure solar cell is designed and the performance of the cell…
Read More Mitigation of Nitrous Oxide Emission for Green Growth: An Empirical Approach using ARDL
Although the perception of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) has been thoroughly investigated, but there is inconsistency in the results. The relationship between nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, financial development, economic growth, foreign direct investment, and electric power consumption in Bahrain over the period 1980 – 2012 is examined in this paper. The autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL)…
Read More Investigating the Optical Behavior of Single/Multi-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Structures for Photovoltaic Applications
The results investigated in this work are toward the optimization of the photonic crystal structures in 1D and 2D scale. One-dimensional distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) have demonstrated substantial potential in various optoelectronic applications, due to the observed tunable optical band-gap. Herein, the use of DBRs in light trapping solar cells was simulated and validated, representing…
Read More Johnson Noise and Optical Characteristics of Polymer Nanocomposites Based on Colloidal Quantum Dots and In-Situ Nanoparticles Formation
Electrical and optical properties of polymer nanocomposite thin films have been analyzed to study their reliability and competency as a component for optoelectronic devices such as LED and solar cells. Polymer nanocomposite encounters various challenges, such as the dispersion of nanoparticles in the matrix that hinders their efficiency for potential devices. In this paper, two…
Read More Advanced Hybrid Energy Harvesting Systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
The recent use of rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has gained significant interest and continuously been implemented since they are used across the world for civilian, commercial, as well as military applications. The drawback of UAVs is the fight-time due to the limited battery capacity. Therefore, energy harvesting (EH), captured energy from the ambient environment…
Read More Three port converters used as interface in photovoltaic energy systems
The aim of this paper is to derive and study a full-bridge three-port converter. Based on the standard design of full-bridge converter, we have modeled and derived a three port converter. The three port converter can be used in renewable energy scenarios, such as solar cells or wind turbines connected to the input port. The…
