Influence of the Subcell Properties on the Fill Factor of Two-Terminal Perovskite-Silicon Tandem Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Mathieu Gérard Boccard

The performance of a tandem solar cell depends on the performance of its constituting subcells. Although this dependency is theoretically straightforward for open-circuit voltage (V-oc) and short-circuit current, it is indirect for fill factor (FF) and thu ...

Tower and Path-Dependent Voltage Effects on the Measurement of Grounding Impedance for Lightning Studies

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Hamidreza Karami, Keyhan Sheshyekani

We present an analysis aimed at evaluating the effect of the presence of the tower on the measurement of the grounding impedance. The Numerical Electromagnetics Code NEC-4 is used for the full-wave modeling of the structure including the tower and its foot ...

Transient Impedance of Interconnected Wind Turbine Grounding Systems

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Quanxin Li

Wind turbines are very vulnerable to lightning because of their height, sharp edges and remote locations often with low soil conductivity. In this paper we present numerical simulations of the impedance of a typical wind turbine grounding geometry. We anal ...

Fault Detection and Faulted Line Identification in Active Distribution Networks Using Synchrophasors-based Real-Time State Estimation

Mario Paolone, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Paolo Romano, Marco Pignati, Lorenzo Zanni

We intend to prove that PMU-based state estimation processes for active distribution networks exhibit unique time determinism and refresh rate that make them suitable to satisfy the time-critical requirements of protections as well as the accuracy requirem ...

Insulation effect on thermal stability of Coated Conductors wires in liquid nitrogen

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit

Superconducting wires are not perfectly homogeneous in term of critical current as well as stabilization. In resistive fault current limiter applications this could lead to hot spots if the fault current is only slightly above the nominal current of the de ...
