  • Agrivoltaics align with Green New Deal goals while supporting investment in the US’ rural economy S1 - Methods

    Creator:
    Proctor, Kyle W., Murthy, Ganti S., and Higgins, Chad W.
    Abstract:
    This Jupyter Notebook is intended to accompany the publication "Agrivoltaics align with Green New Deal goals while supporting investment in the US’ rural economy".This reduced-order economic analysis estimates the total construction, operation, and energy storage costs of wide scale implementation of Agrivoltaic Systems in the United States. Additionally, estimates are...

  • Pollinator-Focused Solar: Observations of Plant-Pollinator Interactions in the Agrivoltaic Understory

    Creator:
    Graham, Maggie
    Abstract:
    Habitat for pollinating insects is declining, which is a concern for agricultural communities that rely on pollination services. Meanwhile, solar energy development is increasing as communities seek to source energy renewably. Land under solar panels is traditionally unused, so some communities are planting pollinator habitat under solar panel canopies to...

  • Determining The Impact of Photovoltaic Generation on Power Systems

    Creator:
    AL-Anazi, Falah
    Abstract:
    The National Conference of State Legislatures NCSL declares that 29 states have been active in adopting and increasing renewable portfolio standards. Present renewable portfolio standards require utilities to increase integration of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV). The increased penetration of PV systems is expected to destabilize the power...

  • Greening the grid : the cost-effectiveness of residential solar programs in Oregon

    Creator:
    Hanhan, Nadine
    Abstract:
    Oregon residents possess several options in installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This study examines a range of options--tax credits and rebates, a volumetric incentive rate program, power purchase agreements from third-party installers, and solar leasing--and compares the cost of these options to not installing. The paper considers the problem of...

  • Development of high efficiency solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Ravichandran, Ram
    Abstract:
    Current cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium diselenide thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) utilize thick absorbers (2 - 4 μm). For efficient carrier extraction in these TFSCs, the absorber layer requires high carrier mobilities and a long minority carrier lifetime, which necessitates the use of a high purity, defect-free thin film....

  • New multi-functional chalcogenides for photovoltaic and thermoelectric materials

    Creator:
    Heo, Jaeseok
    Abstract:
    The subject of this PhD thesis is part of a research domain of great present interest in new semiconductor materials for photovoltaic and thermoelectric applications. This domain contains the elaboration and the study of both Cu-based chalcogenides bulk and thin-film samples, driven by materials design principles. One of the most...

  • Methods for evaluating the impact of renewable resource variability on grid operation and planning

    Creator:
    Halamay, Douglas A.
    Abstract:
    With the recent interest in increasing the penetration of renewable energy sources onto the power grid, there has been an unprecedented rapid deployment of wind generation, especially in the US Pacific Northwest. While wind farm developers have continued to expand their operations, power system operators are left to deal with...

  • Sustainable power management of microelectronics

    Creator:
    Muhtaroglu, Ali
    Abstract:
    The integration of renewable energy sources and the associated power electronics to notebook power and thermal management systems was investigated in this work. Both thermoelectric (TE) and photovoltaic (PV) energy extraction techniques were explored with the goal of achieving best sustainability. Semi-realistic usage assumptions were taken into account to evaluate...
