2. 1. Planning for Solar Buildings in Urban Environments

   Author : Jouri Kanters; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; architecture; design tool; design process; solar energy; urban planning; photovoltaics; solar thermal; building integration; density; net zero energy buildings; interviews; parametric studies; action research;

   Abstract : Energy use in buildings accounts for a significant proportion of the total energy use in many countries. While past and current buildings have solely been energy consumers, future buildings will, besides using less energy, also need to produce (part of ) the required energy on site with renewables.

4. 2. Imaging spectropolarimetry of solar active regions

   Author : Gautam Narayan; Göran Scharmer; Rolf Schlichenmaier; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sun; Spectropolarimetry; Solar magnetic fields; Sunspots; Plages; Solar physics; Solfysik; Astronomy; astronomi;

   Abstract : Solar magnetic fields span a wide range of spatial scales from sunspots and plages to magnetic bright points. A clear understanding of the physical processes underlying the evolution of these magnetic features requires high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations of solar active regions and comparisons with synthetic data from simulations.

5. 3. Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Photoswitches for Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage Systems

   Author : Maria Quant; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solar fuels; Norbornadiene; Tetracyclooctane.; Quadricyclane; Energy storage and release; Solar energy; Photoswitches; Molecular solar thermal energy storage; Diels-Alder reaction; Bicyclooctadiene; Energy conversion;

   Abstract : To meet the future energy demands and handle climate changes, new sustainable energy sources must be developed. Over the last decades, great scientific progress on harvesting solar energy has been made, but storing the energy is still a challenge. READ MORE

6. 4. Nanoparticle plasmonics for solar cell applications

   Author : Viktoria Gusak; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; titanium dioxide.; Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance; mesoporous material; Plasmonic nanoparticle; amorphous hydrogenated Silicon; solar cell; Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell; diffusion;

   Abstract : The energy demand of society increases rapidly, while the main source of today’s energy, the fossil fuels, eventually will be depleted and also poses environmental and climate hazards (though the global warming). Therefore there is a need for alternative, renewable energy sources, and solar photovoltaics (solar cells) will play an important role as one of them. READ MORE

7. 5. Nanoplasmonics for solar cells

   Author : Viktoria Gusak; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enhanced near-field; adsorption; titanium dioxide; Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance; amorphous hydrogenated Silicon; diffusion; Langmuir kinetics; Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell; plasmonic nanoparticle; mesoporous material; diffusion-front model;

   Abstract : The main source of our energy system, the fossil fuels, will eventually be depleted and also pose environmental and climate hazards. There is thus a need for alternative, renewable energy sources. Solar (photovoltaic) cells will play an important role as one of them. READ MORE
