  1. 6. Analysis of the efficiency and performance of half-cell solar modules

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Diego Hernandez; [2023]
    Keywords : Shading; half-cell module; efficiency; PV facility; photovoltaic; solar energy; Matlab; simulink;

    Abstract : Solar photovoltaic energy has gained great importance in the last couple of years, as its costs getlower and the total installed capacity increases. As a result of this, new technologies are arisingwithin the field, with the objective of increasing performance and reducing costs. READ MORE

  3. 7. Tracking Optimization in Agrivoltaic Systems : A Comparative Study for Apple Orchards

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Maddalena Bruno; [2023]
    Keywords : Agrivoltaics; Optimization; Light sharing; Apple Orchards; Lantbruk; Optimering; Ljusdelning; Äppelodlingar;

    Abstract : Agrivoltaic (APV) systems, based on the co-location of solar panels and crops, are an innovative solution to land-use conflicts that often arise between agriculture and energy production. Their optimal functioning starts with efficient management and sharing of light between solar panels and underlying plants. READ MORE

  4. 8. Multifunctional ice and snow repellent coatings for photovoltaic modules

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

    Author : Gunnar Sandkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : sol-gel; superhydrophobic; dip-coating; anti-reflective; silica;

    Abstract : Implementation of solar power by photovoltaic modules in cold climates, such as northern Sweden, implies several challenges. Ice and snow coverage not only leads to reduction in energy production due to shading, but it also puts equipment at risk from additional weight. READ MORE

  5. 9. Assessing the relation between temperature buffering, soil moisture, and canopy cover in a Swedish coniferous forest

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Mark Van der Keijl; [2023]
    Keywords : Temperature buffering; forest microclimate; soil moisture; canopy cover; forest management; Sweden;

    Abstract : Forests buffer temperature extremes through processes such as canopy shading, wind speed reduction, and evapotranspiration. As a result, microclimates are formed within forests whose climatic conditions are distinctly different from the surrounding macroclimate. READ MORE

  6. 10. Optimizing sunlight distribution in agrivoltaic systems for the Swedish climate

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

    Author : Amanda Daniels; [2022]
    Keywords : agrivoltaics; agri-PV; solar energy; PV; photovoltaics; agriculture; renewable energy; sketchup; solenergi; jordbruk; förnyelsebar energi;

    Abstract : Due to a rising land demand for the construction of large-scale PV-systems, there is increasing competition between energy and food production. A new emerging segment within the PV market called agrivoltaics is providing a contributing solution to this issue by co-using the land for both crop cultivation and PV energy. READ MORE
