Design for the environment: SHJ module with ultra‐low carbon footprint

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 184-199, January 2025.
This study presents a module design driven by LCA sensitivity analysis to reach ultra‐low carbon impact PV module with outstanding performance. We acted on silicon wafer, aluminium frame and front glass. The combination of available innovations led us to the realisation of a 566 Wp module based on a GapLess interconnection with single heterojunction ...

Fragility Modeling of Power Grid Infrastructure for Addressing Climate Change Risks and Adaptation

open access: yesWIREs Climate Change, Volume 16, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Power grid assets like transmission towers and substations designed based on outdated (past) hazard assessments face increased fragility from climate hazards (e.g., windstorms, floods) due to the impact of climate change. Fragility models that link the intensity of climate stressors to asset damage probability are essential for assessing ...
