Using distributed generations (DGs) with optimal scheduling and optimal distribution feeder reconfiguration (DFR) are two aspects that can improve efficiency as well as technical and economic features of microgrids (MGs). This work presents a stochastic copula scenario-based framework to jointly carry out optimal scheduling of DGs and DFR. This framework takes into account non-dispatchable and ...

Abstract Organic/inorganic metal halide perovskites attract substantial attention as key materials for next-generation photovoltaic technologies due to their potential low cost, high performance, and solution processability. The unique properties of the rapid advances that have been made in solar cell performance facilitated integration into a broad range practical applications, including tande...

CdTe thin films with 2.8 µm thickness were deposited by electron beam evaporation method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the films. The results of AFM analysis revealed that the CdTe films have uniform surface. CdTe thin films were heat-treated by SnCl2 solution. Structural analysis using XRD s...

Multi-junction solar cells play a crucial role in the ConcentratedPhotovoltaic (CPV) Systems. Recent developments in CPV concerning high powerproduction and cost effective-ness along with better efficiency are due to theadvancements in multi-junction cells. This paper presents a simulation model of thegeneralized Multi-junction solar cell and introduces a two-bond solar ...
