To optimize this combination, single crystalline silicon solar cell was analyzed using quasi-one-dimensional transport of electrons and holes in crystalline semiconductor, PC1D. Approach: Effects of the resistance of the emitter and base contact have been investigated with a view to find … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 8,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTracking Error Analysis of a Rotation-Elevation Mode HeliostatOmar Aliman, Ismail Daut, Muzamir Isa, Mohd Rafi AdzmanFor the past few years, great efforts have been done in improving the tracking accuracy of a newly proposed rotation-elevation tracking mode heliostat. A special simulation program has been developed to systematically analyze the image movement and to find out the error of the parameters. In the simulation program, ray-tracing method was applied to work out the central point position … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative SCAPS-1D Study of Lead-Free CsSnCl₃-Based Perovskite SCs Employing Different ETLsRony Tota, Shak Mahmudul Hasan, Md. Morsalin et al.Cesium tin chloride (CsSnCl3) has drawn considerable interest as a non-toxic absorber candidate for next-generation photovoltaic devices, offering an attractive combination of affordability, thermal robustness, and competitive conversion performance suitable for clean-energy deployment. In the present work, the photovoltaic behaviour of CsSnCl₃-based SCs was numerically examined using the SCAPS-1D software. Three distinct device stacks were constructed by varying the ETL, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 22 May 2026 · 1,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of an AI-Based Controller for a Positive Output Superlift DC-DC ConverterRicha Adlakha, Ashish Grover, Neha Chaudhary et al.DC-DC converters have emerged as crucial components in various industrial applications and form an integral part of power supplies based on switch-mode. Solar energy has garnered increasing significance owing to the scarcity of non-renewable fuels and its abundant availability. Photovoltaic (PV) technology, characterized by the arrangement of numerous series and parallel-connected PV cells within modules, generates DC output. Consequently, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2026 · 1,542 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTEC-Driven Mini Refrigerators: Recent Applications With Performance CharacteristicsTamer Guclu, Pinar Mert Cuce et al.Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) technology has become a remarkable alternative in mini refrigerator applications in recent years, thanks to its lack of moving parts, silent operation, compact structure and environmentally friendly features. This study aims to examine the current usage areas, performance characteristics, and engineering challenges of TEC systems in mini refrigerator applications with a holistic approach. Experimental and theoretical studies … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2025 · 3,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCircular Economy Modeling for Waste and Energy Management in A Developing Country: The Case of Greater Beirut AreaAbbas El Toufaili, Dario Pozzetto, Elio Padoano et al.Lebanon's energy system depends largely on imported fuels. Lebanon presented its commitment to increase by 30% its share of Renewable Energies (RE) by 2030. GBA lacks an integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) system. The waste composition in the Greater Beirut Area (GBA) is made of 52.2% organic waste which can be exploited for the production of green Hydrogen (H2) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 22 Nov 2024 · 5,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBulk and Interface Configuration on the Performances of Perovskite Solar CellsSankara Issiaka, Soumaïla Ouédraogo, Daouda Oubda et al.The ongoing search for energy conversion technologies that are more efficient, affordable, and sustainable than traditional solar cells have led researchers to look at other technologies. Among these technologies, perovskite-based solar cells seem increasingly credible, as they have the potential to achieve high energy conversion efficiencies that rival or even surpass those of silicon solar cells, which currently dominate the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 7 Nov 2023 · 6,018 accessesView PDFCite
