Cuaderno abierto para la simulación de células solares de tres terminales de tipo transistor bipolar de heterounion

CIES2020 - XVII Congresso Ibérico e XIII Congresso Ibero-americano de Energia SolarRESUMEN: Los cuadernos abiertos (Open Notebooks), como los que pueden realizarse en el entorno Jupyter, son una herramienta excelente, no solo para documentar los programas que se implementan para realizar tal o cual cálculo, sino también para: a) facilitar la docencia sobre el asunto de que se trate, b) facilitar que terceros verifiquen con facilidad los cálculos realizados, c) posibilitar el cálculo interactivo. En el contexto del proyecto Europeo GRECO, dedicado al desarrollo de la ciencia e innovación responsable (RRI) aplicado al campo de la energía solar fotovoltaica, estamos desarrollando un “Open Notebook” para modelar analíticamente la denominada “célula solar de tres terminales de tipo transistor bipolar de heterounión”. En este trabajo describimos cómo acceder a dicho cuaderno, describimos el modelo utilizado para modelar dicha célula y comentamos algunas de las lecciones aprendidas en relación con su uso y el desarrollo de la ciencia abierta.ABSTRACT: Open Notebooks, such as those that can be made in the Jupyter environment, are an excellent tool, not only to document the codes that are implemented to perform this or that calculation, but also to: a) facilitate teaching on the subject in question, b) facilitate third parties to easily verify the calculations performed, c) enable interactive calculation. In the context of the European GRECO project, dedicated to the development of responsible research and innovation (RRI) in the field of photovoltaics, we are developing an “Open Notebook” to analytically model the so-called “three terminal heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell”. In this paper, we describe how to access this Open Notebook, describe the model used to model said cell, and comment on some of the lessons learned in relation to its use and the development of open science.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

NGCPV: A new generation of concentrator photovoltaic cells, modules and systems (a final review)

Starting on June 2011, NGCPV has been the first coordinated project between the European Commission and Japanese NEDO in order to advance in the science and technology of concentrator photovoltaics (CPV). Research has covered all relevant areas in CPV, from solar cells to complete systems, including multijunction solar cells, novel solar cell concepts utilizing nanostructures, advanced optics and modules, thermal management, reliability and modeling at all the stages of the CPV chain, rating and round robin schemes and the development of characterization tools for cells, modules and systems (outdoor and indoor). Ending in November 2014, the NGCPV project has attained some remarkable results, such as the manufacturing of a 44.4% world record efficiency triple junction solar cell (by Sharp Corp.) and the development of a 15 kW CPV system (by Daido, BSQ and UPM) with a DC efficiency of 28% under CSOC, which is the highest reported in the world at system level. In this paper we summarize these and other relevant results concerning project activities such as the investigation of novel buffers for growing III-V materials on silicon, novel ~1eV materials for manufacturing quad-junction solar cells, the development of accurate models to forecast the electricity production in CPV plants and novel advanced optical designs for CPV modules, among others
