Design for the environment: SHJ module with ultra‐low carbon footprint
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
Power grid assets like transmission towers and substations designed based on outdated (past) hazard assessments face increased fragility from climate hazards (e.g., windstorms, floods) due to the impact of climate change.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 ...
