A major challenge in implementing urban photovoltaic systems is the unpredictable shading of photovoltaic modules. Architectural barriers and safety concerns, including fire hazards from partial shading, necessitate innovative photovoltaic system designs. To address this challenge, the small-area high-voltage concept was introduced, facilitating the use of pseudo-high-voltage low-current cells in parallel connections. This research is a continuation of the small-area high-voltage concept, which has a flexible design with shading tolerance proven to be thrice that of conventional modules. This research explored the optimal number of bypass diodes in a module. Two power measurement methods were adopted because a diode causes multiple peaks in the power curve, making it difficult to obtain maximum power. Simulations were conducted under various shading intensity and shape scenarios, and the results were validated experimentally. The small-area high-voltage modules, even without diodes, outperformed the conventional and shingled modules with one diode per cell. This study concludes that when combined with diodes, the small-area high-voltage concept exhibits remarkable improvements in shading tolerance and stable power production, offering a promising way to improve the adaptability and efficiency of solar energy systems in urban environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142528713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address the increasing demand for improved heat dissipation, pool boiling heat transfer must be enhanced to attain a lower initial boiling temperature, increased heat transfer coefficient, and improved critical heat flux. Modification of surface structures is effective to achieve these enhancements, and recent studies have focused on multiscale hybrid surface structure modifications for synergistic effects. Compared with single-scale surface structure modifications, multiscale hybrid strategies are more complex in terms of enhancement mechanisms, influencing factors, and numerical modeling. However, timely reviews that explore and summarize these achievements are still lacking. To bridge this gap, this study presents a state-of-the-art review on multiscale hybrid surface structure modifications aimed at enhancing pool boiling heat transfers. First, This research introduces three typical scaled surface structure modifications, including macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale strategies. Subsequently, their hybrid use, enhancement mechanisms, and major influencing factors are systematically explored, reviewed, and summarized. Specifically, this research focus on macro/micro hybrid structures, micro/micro hybrid structures, micro/nano hybrid structures, and nano-amphiphilic structures. For each hybrid structure, different formats and combinations are presented and analyzed. Furthermore, the associated numerical modeling techniques are summarized and comparatively analyzed. Lastly, the major findings are outlined, and recommendations for future studies are highlighted.

This study introduces a novel hybrid control topology for a Capacitor-Assisted Extended Boost Z-Source Multilevel Inverter in a grid associated solar photovoltaic (PV) structure. The suggested hybrid technique implies a united implementation of a Gannet Optimization Algorithm and Spiking Deep Residual Network and usually referred as GOA-SDRN technique. Initially, the modelling of the inverter is collected to get the best signal by the proposed controller. The proposed inverter configuration consists of a minimal quantity of diodes, switches, and sources. This configuration also offers advantages like less total harmonic distortion (THD) and reduced electromagnetic interference, making it a favourable choice for PV integration. The GOA is employed to determine the most favourable gain limiting factor based on a variation of power from their regular values. This control method ideally satisfies the load demand while reducing changes in the system limiting factor and external disturbances. The proposed control topology is executed in MATLAB and the concept is contrasted to different techniques. The THD values of existing methods such as Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithm, and Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm are 1.36 %,0.89 %, and 1.99 % respectively, while the THD value of the proposedmethod is 0.63 %, demonstrating its optimal performance over existing methods.

Their carbon footprints were analyzed based on real data covering collection and transport, energy and material consumption, secondary pollutant control, and impurity disposal. The results showed that centralized facilities had a lower overall carbon footprint, although carbon emissions from their collection and transportation were higher.
