IEEE PES Grid Edge Technologies Conference & Expo’s Post

The Photon Resonance Transformer (PRT) represents a groundbreaking advancement in energy generation and propulsion technology. Leveraging scalar wave-induced energy amplification and fractal resonance chambers, the PRT has the potential to revolutionize sustainable energy and interstellar propulsion. This proposal seeks an investment of $20 million to develop a scalable prototype over 24 months. The project milestones include design finalization, prototype fabrication, testing, and market readiness.

Integrated generation and transmission network expansion planning is crucial for developing resilient and efficient power systems. This approach enables the joint optimization of investment and operational decisions while considering the interaction between the generation system and the transmission network. In this new article, we adopt the full AC optimal power flow model alongside hybrid metaheuristic techniques to achieve more realistic and cost-effective expansion plans that ensure a reliable long-term power supply.

📣📣 We are delighted to announce also the start of the national project "PowerforEarth", focused on High Power Optical Transmission (#HPOT). This project, with a duration of 4 years (09/2024 - 08/2028), is led by researchers Florencia Cruz and Eduardo F. Fernández and is part of the State Programme to Promote Scientific-Technical Research and its Transfer. 🌍 #PowerforEarth focuses on developing new advances in Wireless Power Transfer (#WPT) technology, a growing market looking for solutions where wired systems are limited. HPOT technology is distinguished by its ability to transmit large amounts of energy over long distances through media such as air or water, making it a promising solution for clean energy generation and sustainable mobility. The project aims to achieve efficiencies of up to 80% and power outputs of 1 kW-cm² using III-V nitride materials. Great road ahead! 💪👏 #adpvtech #innovation #cleanenergy #energysolutions

Thrilled to share our latest publication in IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices: "Optimizing Thin-Film Tandem Solar Cells: The Impact of Bandgap Grading in ACIGS Subcell on Performance" 🎉 This study delves into the optimization of two-terminal perovskite/ACIGS tandem solar cells using Silvaco TCAD tools. By calibrating the perovskite top cell and ACIGS bottom cell to match fabricated structures, we investigated the influence of Ga content and bandgap grading on tandem performance. We hope our findings will benefit the tandem solar cell community by offering valuable insights into designing next-generation high-efficiency photovoltaic devices. #Tandem #Perovskite #ACIGS #SolarCells #ThinFilm #Photovoltaics #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy

Wang Siyuan's team from Tsinghua University introduces a novel approach to evaluating the flexibility of virtual power plants through stochastic modeling of distributed energy resources. Published in the CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems Vol. 10, Issue 3, this paper presents a model that captures the uncertainties of renewable energy outputs, enhancing the economic and operational efficiency of power system operations. The findings underscore the potential of virtual power plants to adapt to and balance the grid's demands, paving the way for more resilient energy systems.

🎉 Thrilled to share the publication of our latest research paper, "Energy Management System Based on S-Shaped Functions for Series Hybrid Vehicles Under a Fully Active Topology," in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology! 🚗⚡ This work is a testament to the dedication and innovation of our team at the University of São Paulo (USP) – #EESC. Special thanks to our collaborators and the generous support of #FUNDEP, #MOVER2030, #CAPES, #CNPq, and #FAPESP. 🙌 You can access the Early Access version here: https://lnkd.in/dgcAsqaP In this paper, we proposes an energy management system for series hybrid electric vehicles, which uses the S-shaped function to achieve power distribution between internal combustion engine and hybrid energy storages, optimizes the utilization rate of supercapacitors, reduces fuel consumption and reduces battery current stress. This method not only improves the energy efficiency of the system, but also simplifies the control logic. The application of meta-heuristic optimization methods provides an effective tool for parameter adjustment of the S-shaped function, ensuring optimal performance under different driving conditions and adapting to complex driving environments. #Research #SustainableMobility #HybridElectricVehicles #EnergyManagement #EngineeringInnovation

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 Our latest paper, “Optical Simulations of Nanotextured All-Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells,” has been published in Advanced Theory and Simulations! 🌞🔬 All-#perovskite tandem #solarcells are a very promising concept for high-efficiency solar cells with high efficiencies, meanwhile 30.1% have been demonstrated. This collaboration between Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, Zuse Institute Berlin and Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú delves into how nanotextures affect the optical performance of these solar cells. Key findings: ▪️Front textures: Reduce reflective losses. ▪️Pronounced textures (750 nm period & 405 nm height) between wide-bandgap (WBG) and narrow-bandgap (NBG) perovskites: Induce light trapping in NBG perovskite. ▪️Moderate back textures (203 nm height): Lead to light trapping in NBG perovskite without causing parasitic absorption in copper. We are thrilled to contribute to the advancement of high-efficiency solar energy technologies! 🌍🔋 #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Nanotechnology #Research https://lnkd.in/gMWs5SDu
