Flexibility for large-scale deployment of PV systems in low-voltage grids

Jordan Holweger

To meet the net-zero emission target by 2050, Switzerland must install between 34 and 50 GW of distributed photovoltaic (PV). The inherent challenge with such an extensive integration of stochastic generation is to provide the flexibility for balancing sup ...

Third-Generation Solar Cells: Toxicity and Risk of Exposure

Thierry Meyer, Anna Maria Novello, Elina Buitrago

Solar energy is considered clean energy, and its use is predicted to increase in the near future. Most installed units today are crystalline solar cells, but the field is in constant development, and when the first dye sensitized solar cell was published b ...

Parametric study of URBAN morphology on building solar energy potential in Singapore context

Jérôme Henri Kämpf

In 2014, the Singapore government announced plans to increase the adoption of solar power, including by integrating solar PV systems into the urban environment. Careful planning of a neighbourhood at early design stage, which determines the overall urban m ...

Optimal path to a high share of distributed PV in low-voltage distribution grids

Lionel Benjamin Bloch

To limit global warming, the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables is one of the main challenges of this century. This transition will help decrease our CO2 emissions, create jobs, contribute to a broader revenues distribution, improve energy s ...

Mitigating the impact of distributed PV in a low-voltage grid using electricity tariffs

Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Würsch, Jordan Holweger, Lionel Benjamin Bloch

A high share of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation in low-voltage networks may lead to over-voltage, and line/transformer overloading. To mitigate these issues, we investigate how advanced electricity tariffs could ensure safe grid operation while en ...
