Various composition of hybrid laminates with 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 weight percentages of APP fabricated along with neat laminates and its thermal, fire performances like limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL 94, Influence of accelerated heat aging on impact behavior of hybrid samples were studied and reported along with the morphology studies. Results showed that higher APP filled specimens possess better fire performance than neat samples. UL 94 vertical and horizontal burning tests reports that 8 and 10 wt. % APP filled specimens showed a lower flame spreading rate and meets V-0 criteria.

The hydrogenated amorphous silicon was manufactured in 1969 where there was a renewed interest in non-hydrogenated amorphous silicon. The use of hydrogenated amorphous silicon as the active material in solar cells inefficient but cheap, is currently much studied. We have presented in this work, the results of the numerical simulation of a-Si: H solar cell by the wxAMPS (Analysis of Microelectronic and Photonic Structures) software and the results were compared with those found experimentally, we find a good agreement. For the efficiency there was a difference of 0.17%. We also study the influence of the thickness of a-Si: H intrinsic layer on the photovoltaic parameters of the solar cell. This allows considering the use of amorphous thinner layers for photovoltaic applications. The efficiency has a maximum value of 7.117 %, corresponding to a intrinsic layer thickness of 560 nm. The using a-Si:H alloys provide a good solution to enhance a-Si:H solar cell performance. The use of a-SiC:H as a p-type window layer in amorphous silicon solar cells is one of its primary photovoltaic applications. The wide band gap of p-a-SiC:H alloy used as window layer for minimizing the optical loss. To improve the efficiency of a-Si:H solar cell, we have study by simulation the performance of the (p) a-SiC:H/(i) a-Si:H/ (n) a-Si:H heterojunction solar cell.

To meet this demand, consumers are erecting small scale distribution renewable energy generating systems (DREGS) which mostly constitutes of solar photovoltaic systems. Injecting power from the DREGS to the MG will rise potential problems like real and reactive power distortions, sag/swells which affect the power quality of the system. Voltage sags and swells are normally caused by MG intermittencies which occur at the high power and low energy situations. In order to maintain the power quality of the MG during intermittencies, an ultracapacitor (UC) is integrated along with a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) with the DREGS is proposed in this paper. Basically, an ultracapacitor is a high power and low energy density device that will compensate the MG intermittencies. This proposed system deals with the control and design aspects of the ultracapacitor, a bidirectional converter for charging and discharging of UC, and a UPQC. The UPQC will act as a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) for the MG side and an active power filter (APF) for the load side.
