description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Other literature type 2017Publisher:Springer Science and Business Media LLC Authors: Ingo Karschin; Alex G. Berg; Jutta Geldermann;Cogeneration of heat and electricity is an important pillar of energy and climate policy. To plan the production and distribution system of combined heat and power (CHP) systems for residential heating, suitable methods for decision support are needed. For a comprehensive feasibility analysis, the integration of the location and capacity planning of the power plants, the choice of customers, and the network planning of the heating network into one optimization model are necessary. Thus, we develop an optimization model for electricity generation and heat supply. This mixed integer linear program (MILP) is based on graph theory for network flow problems. We apply the network location model for the optimization of district heating systems in the City of Osorno in Chile, which exhibits the “checkerboard layout” typically found in many South American cities. The network location model can support the strategic planning of investments in renewable energy projects because it permits the analysis of changing energy prices, calculation of break-even prices for heat and electricity, and estimation of greenhouse gas emission savings.

It's not only the carbon in the trees Forest loss affects climate not just because of the impacts it has on the carbon cycle, but also because of how it affects the fluxes of energy and water between the land and the atmosphere. Evaluating global impact is complicated because deforestation can produce different results in different climate zones, making it hard to determine large-scale trends rather than more local ones. Alkama and Cescatti conducted a global assessment of the biophysical effects of forest cover change. Forest loss amplifies diurnal temperature variations, increases mean and maximum air temperatures, and causes a significant amount of warming when compared to CO 2 emission from land-use change.

Strobel; Matthias Albert; J. Kuske;Abstract Amorphous and microcrystalline silicon single layers and p–i–n solar cells were produced dynamically using an inline deposition system called “line source”. A highly uniform deposition of thin-film silicon layers with layer-thickness variations of less than ±5% was achieved. Amorphous and microcrystalline silicon single junction solar cells were dynamically fabricated with initial efficiencies of 8.3% and 6.3%, respectively. The dynamic deposition rate of these solar cells is 6.75 nm m/min in case of a-Si:H and 3.3 nm m/min for μc-Si:H. In this work it will be shown that an enhancement of the deposition rate up to 15.6 nm m/min during the i-layer deposition of a-Si:H solar cells has only a weak negative influence on the initial efficiencies of the cells. Further on, the effect of substrate velocity on solar cell characteristics of a-Si:H solar cells is investigated. Finally, a productivity estimation of the line source concept is presented.

High etch rates of up to 13.3 nm s−1 were observed at room temperature, which are comparable to the etch rates of KOH-IPA solutions. The silicon surface was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), indicating pyramidal textures for diamond wire and SiC-slurry sawn as well as saw-damage etched (polished) wafers. Non-stirred baths generate random pyramidal structures while constantly stirred solutions generate novel random inverted pyramidal surface structures. The light trapping efficiency of wafers etched by the HF-HCl-H2O2 solutions was compared by UV/vis-reflectivity measurements to KOH/i-propanol specimens indicating lower reflectivities for the HF-HCl-H2O2-treated samples. Using the ‘wafer ray tracer’ (pvlighthouse.com) the light absorption properties of monomodal and random inverted pyramid structures were simulated and compared to well-known random and monomodal textures for PERC solar cells, clearly indicating the best performance for random inverted pyramids. Besides, simulation of a PERC solar cell on a roof top at our university was performed, indicating improved performance, especially for random inverted pyramid textures.

The analysis of system-inherent disturbances requires accurate simulation models for both short-term transients or long-term driving cycles. The electrical behavior of electromechanical actuators such as brake or steering highly depends on the mechanical environmental interaction being dependent many variables. This contribution presents a methodology to extract abstracted models of machine driven actuators on the basis of an electric steering. The dynamics of a complex electromechanical model are investigated using pulse response analysis for differentiated operation points. The obtained model reduction is implemented in a frequency-dependent equivalent circuit.

Numerical simulations have been employed to locate the critical regions during thermal loading, for which analytical solutions have been derived and validated by numerical simulations. The analytical solutions allow a fast screening of materials and design parameters in relation to the stresses induced by thermomechanical loading. Maximum stresses in the system have been quantified based on the thermomechanical properties of three heat exchanger materials selected by design engineers and of the filling material. Sensitivity analyses indicate that the stress distribution is very sensitive to the thermal expansion coefficients of the involved materials. The results of this study can serve as a guide line for the design of the present and similar heat storage systems. The analytical solution developed is a fast and robust method for the evaluation of stresses around heat exchangers embedded in a solid material and can serve as a tool for design optimisation.

Beier; Björn Roos; Torsten Dippell; Jan Schmidt; Thorsten Dullweber; Oliver Hohn; Christopher Kranz;Abstract Passivated emitter and rear cells (PERC) are considered to be the next generation of industrial-type screen-printed silicon solar cells. Deposition methods for rear passivation layers have to meet both the high-throughput and low-cost requirements of the PV industry in combination with high-quality surface passivation properties. In this paper, we evaluate and optimise a novel deposition technique for AlO x passivation layers by applying an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) process. The ICP AlO x deposition process enables high deposition rates up to 5 nm/s as well as excellent surface recombination velocities below 10 cm/s after firing. A fixed negative charge of −4×10 12 cm −2 is measured for ICP AlO x single layers with an interface state density of 11.0×10 11 eV −1 cm −2 at midgap position. When applied to PERC solar cells the ICP AlO x layer is capped with a PECVD SiN y layer. We achieve independently confirmed conversion efficiencies of up to 20.1% for large-area (15.6×15.6 cm 2 ) PERC solar cells with screen-printed metal contacts and ICP AlO x /SiN y rear side passivation on standard boron-doped Czochralski-grown silicon wafers. The internal quantum efficiency reveals an effective rear surface recombination velocity S rear of (90±30) cm/s and an internal rear reflectance R b of (91±1)% which demonstrates the excellent rear surface passivation of the ICP AlO x /SiN y layer stack.

Sievers;The estimation of leak and break frequencies in piping systems is part of the probabilistic safety assessment of technical plants. In this paper, a statistical method based on the evaluation of German operational experience for piping systems with different diameters is described because an earlier estimation has been updated and extended introducing new methodical aspects and data. A major point is the inclusion of structural reliability models based on fracture mechanics calculation procedures. As an example of application the statistical estimation method for leak and break frequencies of piping systems with a nominal diameter of 50 mm (the volume control system of a German pressurized water reactor) was updated. Moreover, the evaluation of the operational experience was extended to 341 years with respect to cracks, leaks and breaks in the volume control system of German pressurized water reactors (PWR). Using the actual database, new calculations of leak and break frequencies have been performed and the results have been compared with previous values.

Some types of wastes do not have a sufficient calorific value to cover the heat demand of the high temperature process. For thermal treatment of e.g. filter residues, dusts, sulfuric acid, aluminium dross, foundry sand, or waste water, supplementary energy supply is needed. The specific energy demand ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 kWh/kg (2–10 MJ/kg). An important aim of process optimisation is the reduction of (fossil) energy consumption and exhaust gas flow. Concentrated solar energy promises advantages when applied to high energy consuming waste treatment processes with regard to substitute fossil or electric energy consumption, to reduce CO2 emissions, and exhaust gas flow. In parallel to conceptional studies, a solar-heated rotary kiln mini-plant has been designed and constructed for tests in the DLR solar furnace. The tests will give indications of boundary conditions for solar thermal treatment or conversion of selected hazardous materials.

It's not only the carbon in the trees Forest loss affects climate not just because of the impacts it has on the carbon cycle, but also because of how it affects the fluxes of energy and water between the land and the atmosphere. Evaluating global impact is complicated because deforestation can produce different results in different climate zones, making it hard to determine large-scale trends rather than more local ones. Alkama and Cescatti conducted a global assessment of the biophysical effects of forest cover change. Forest loss amplifies diurnal temperature variations, increases mean and maximum air temperatures, and causes a significant amount of warming when compared to CO 2 emission from land-use change.

Strobel; Matthias Albert; J. Kuske;Abstract Amorphous and microcrystalline silicon single layers and p–i–n solar cells were produced dynamically using an inline deposition system called “line source”. A highly uniform deposition of thin-film silicon layers with layer-thickness variations of less than ±5% was achieved. Amorphous and microcrystalline silicon single junction solar cells were dynamically fabricated with initial efficiencies of 8.3% and 6.3%, respectively. The dynamic deposition rate of these solar cells is 6.75 nm m/min in case of a-Si:H and 3.3 nm m/min for μc-Si:H. In this work it will be shown that an enhancement of the deposition rate up to 15.6 nm m/min during the i-layer deposition of a-Si:H solar cells has only a weak negative influence on the initial efficiencies of the cells. Further on, the effect of substrate velocity on solar cell characteristics of a-Si:H solar cells is investigated. Finally, a productivity estimation of the line source concept is presented.

High etch rates of up to 13.3 nm s−1 were observed at room temperature, which are comparable to the etch rates of KOH-IPA solutions. The silicon surface was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), indicating pyramidal textures for diamond wire and SiC-slurry sawn as well as saw-damage etched (polished) wafers. Non-stirred baths generate random pyramidal structures while constantly stirred solutions generate novel random inverted pyramidal surface structures. The light trapping efficiency of wafers etched by the HF-HCl-H2O2 solutions was compared by UV/vis-reflectivity measurements to KOH/i-propanol specimens indicating lower reflectivities for the HF-HCl-H2O2-treated samples. Using the ‘wafer ray tracer’ (pvlighthouse.com) the light absorption properties of monomodal and random inverted pyramid structures were simulated and compared to well-known random and monomodal textures for PERC solar cells, clearly indicating the best performance for random inverted pyramids. Besides, simulation of a PERC solar cell on a roof top at our university was performed, indicating improved performance, especially for random inverted pyramid textures.

The analysis of system-inherent disturbances requires accurate simulation models for both short-term transients or long-term driving cycles. The electrical behavior of electromechanical actuators such as brake or steering highly depends on the mechanical environmental interaction being dependent many variables. This contribution presents a methodology to extract abstracted models of machine driven actuators on the basis of an electric steering. The dynamics of a complex electromechanical model are investigated using pulse response analysis for differentiated operation points. The obtained model reduction is implemented in a frequency-dependent equivalent circuit.

Numerical simulations have been employed to locate the critical regions during thermal loading, for which analytical solutions have been derived and validated by numerical simulations. The analytical solutions allow a fast screening of materials and design parameters in relation to the stresses induced by thermomechanical loading. Maximum stresses in the system have been quantified based on the thermomechanical properties of three heat exchanger materials selected by design engineers and of the filling material. Sensitivity analyses indicate that the stress distribution is very sensitive to the thermal expansion coefficients of the involved materials. The results of this study can serve as a guide line for the design of the present and similar heat storage systems. The analytical solution developed is a fast and robust method for the evaluation of stresses around heat exchangers embedded in a solid material and can serve as a tool for design optimisation.

Beier; Björn Roos; Torsten Dippell; Jan Schmidt; Thorsten Dullweber; Oliver Hohn; Christopher Kranz;Abstract Passivated emitter and rear cells (PERC) are considered to be the next generation of industrial-type screen-printed silicon solar cells. Deposition methods for rear passivation layers have to meet both the high-throughput and low-cost requirements of the PV industry in combination with high-quality surface passivation properties. In this paper, we evaluate and optimise a novel deposition technique for AlO x passivation layers by applying an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) process. The ICP AlO x deposition process enables high deposition rates up to 5 nm/s as well as excellent surface recombination velocities below 10 cm/s after firing. A fixed negative charge of −4×10 12 cm −2 is measured for ICP AlO x single layers with an interface state density of 11.0×10 11 eV −1 cm −2 at midgap position. When applied to PERC solar cells the ICP AlO x layer is capped with a PECVD SiN y layer. We achieve independently confirmed conversion efficiencies of up to 20.1% for large-area (15.6×15.6 cm 2 ) PERC solar cells with screen-printed metal contacts and ICP AlO x /SiN y rear side passivation on standard boron-doped Czochralski-grown silicon wafers. The internal quantum efficiency reveals an effective rear surface recombination velocity S rear of (90±30) cm/s and an internal rear reflectance R b of (91±1)% which demonstrates the excellent rear surface passivation of the ICP AlO x /SiN y layer stack.

Sievers;The estimation of leak and break frequencies in piping systems is part of the probabilistic safety assessment of technical plants. In this paper, a statistical method based on the evaluation of German operational experience for piping systems with different diameters is described because an earlier estimation has been updated and extended introducing new methodical aspects and data. A major point is the inclusion of structural reliability models based on fracture mechanics calculation procedures. As an example of application the statistical estimation method for leak and break frequencies of piping systems with a nominal diameter of 50 mm (the volume control system of a German pressurized water reactor) was updated. Moreover, the evaluation of the operational experience was extended to 341 years with respect to cracks, leaks and breaks in the volume control system of German pressurized water reactors (PWR). Using the actual database, new calculations of leak and break frequencies have been performed and the results have been compared with previous values.

Some types of wastes do not have a sufficient calorific value to cover the heat demand of the high temperature process. For thermal treatment of e.g. filter residues, dusts, sulfuric acid, aluminium dross, foundry sand, or waste water, supplementary energy supply is needed. The specific energy demand ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 kWh/kg (2–10 MJ/kg). An important aim of process optimisation is the reduction of (fossil) energy consumption and exhaust gas flow. Concentrated solar energy promises advantages when applied to high energy consuming waste treatment processes with regard to substitute fossil or electric energy consumption, to reduce CO2 emissions, and exhaust gas flow. In parallel to conceptional studies, a solar-heated rotary kiln mini-plant has been designed and constructed for tests in the DLR solar furnace. The tests will give indications of boundary conditions for solar thermal treatment or conversion of selected hazardous materials.
