Beyond Conventional: Nanostructures as Key Enablers for Efficiency Enhancement in Thin Film Photovoltaics
Abstract: One of the key options for lowering the cost of photovoltaic production through the reduction ofactive material utilisation is thin-film solar cells. However, thin film solar cells' performance may beconstrained by low light absorption brought on by a low absorption coefficient or by an inadequatelythick active layer. Minimising expenses and increasing overall efficiency in thin-film solar cells needimproving light absorption that can be converted into electrical power. As a result, …

Closed Loop Control of Interleaved Buck Converter with Extremely Low Output Current Ripple
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, the analysis and modeling of interleaved buck converter with PI controller is discussed. Converters are controlled by two active switches, which have the same switching frequency but 180° out of phase. The loss associated with the power device is half of the input voltage and the duty cycle is below 50%. By paralleling the converters, the input current can be shared among the inductors so that high …

Optimization of the Climate Control System for Pure Electric Vehicle
Abstract: Emission standards have become increasingly stringent, which has generated more interest in problems related to environmental pollution. However, the EV driving range suffers from A/C (air conditioning) for the comfort of the occupants, especially in very hot or cold climates. Therefore, the dimensioning of the A/C system is more important than the case of the conventional vehicle with internal combustion engine. Specifically, EV consumes electric power from the battery pack …
