  • DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program FY 2007 Annual Report
    DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program Welcome to the fiscal year (FY) 2007 Annual Report for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Program (Solar Program). The Solar Program is responsible for carrying out the federal role of researching, developing, demonstrating, and deploying solar energy technologies. This document presents a detailed description of the activities funded by DOE during FY 2007. FY 2007 was a year of incredible importance for the Solar Program and its partners. Announced during President Bush’s 2006 State of the Union address, the Advanced Energy Initiative includes the Solar America Initiative (SAI), a presidential initiative with the goal of achieving grid parity for solar electricity, produced by photovoltaic (PV) systems, across the nation by 2015. FY 2007 was the first official year of SAI and represented a shift in Solar Program operations, budget, activities, and partnerships. As a 9-year initiative, SAI is dependent upon wise choices made during its early years. I am pleased to report that FY 2007 represented a successful start to this critically important effort. A few of the many highlights achieved in FY 2007 and discussed in greater detail within this report include: • Launch of the Technology Pathway Partnerships (TPPs), public-private partnerships with industry designed to create fully scalable PV systems that meet the SAI cost goals. The TPPs are characterized by rigorous review and down-selection processes, as well as ambitious timetables. • Establishment of the PV Incubator activity, which funds the development of PV-system components to shorten their timeline to commercialization. • Initiation of a groundbreaking market transformation effort to help commercialize solar technologies by eliminating market barriers and promoting deployment opportunities through outreach activities.

    Enabling High Performance III-V Thin-Film Photodetectors on Unconventional Surfaces by Dejiu Fan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Electrical Engineering) in the University of Michigan 2020 Doctoral Committee: Professor Stephen Forrest, Chair Assistant Professor Andrej Lenert Professor Wei Lu Professor Zetian Mi Dejiu Fan [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-7374-134X © Dejiu Fan 2020 DEDICATION To a better world ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The work presented in this thesis could not have been accomplished without the contributions of many others. First, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to my advisor, Professor Stephen Forrest, for his mentorship during these years. I started as an undergraduate student in his OCM group in 2012. His passion and enthusiasm toward science and engineering inspired me to begin my Ph.D. career in September, 2013. During this six-and-half-year journey, he has shown exceptional patience to my million failures, and always guided me to the positive path with his deep insight and great relish of scientific research. His incentive mentoring of “Seek and You Shall Find” has promoted me to become a critical thinker and a qualified researcher. The most important lesson I learned is that the horizon of research is beyond publishing papers and earning a degree; the ultimate accomplishment is to make a better world. Next, I would like to thank all my mentors and collaborators. Jeramy Zimmerman was my first mentor when I joined the group and I appreciate his great help when instructing me on solution process techniques and organic deposition equipment.

Dr. Erol KAPLUHAN Ahi Evran Üniversitesi Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi Coğrafya Bölümü [email protected] Alındığı tarih: 21.05.2014 Kabul tarihi: 27.12.2014 Özet Ülkelerin ekonomik kalkınma endişeleri, artan nüfus ve ilerleyen teknolojik gelişmeler enerji tüketimini artırıcı unsurlardır. Klasik enerji kaynakları kısıtlı kaynaklardır ve fiyatlar her geçen gün artmaktadır. Bu durum dünya ülkelerini ekonomik, politik ve çevresel açıdan yakın zamanda etkileyecek duruma gelecektir. Bu bağlamda güneş enerjisi klasik enerji kaynaklarına karşı güçlü bir alternatiftir ve sözü geçen problemleri elimine etmek için büyük bir potansiyele sahiptir. Türkiye enerjide dışa bağımlı bir ülke olup, enerji ihtiyacının yarıdan fazlasını dışarıdan ithal etmekte ve buda ülke ekonomisi üzerinde olumsuz etki yapmaktadır. Ayrıca ülkenin sahip olduğu fosil kaynakları enerji ihtiyacını karşılayacak düzeyde olmayıp, mevcut linyit kömürlerimizde hem düşük kalorili ve hem de kükürt ve kül içerisi yüksek değerlerdedir. Dolayısıyla Türkiye’nin geleceği için temiz, yerli ve yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımı oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışma yenilenebilir enerji çeşitleri arasında en ilgi çekenlerden

  • Computational Research Needs in Alternative and Renewable Energy
    Howard_CRNARE_Final_Report_v2_2-6-08-final draft.doc ii Cover graphics, clockwise from left: • Developing systems for high-density storage of hydrogen is crucial to successful hydrogen technology deployment. Numerous promising possibilities are being pursued, and high-performance computer modeling can play a key role. The depicted Ti14C13 titanium carbide nanoparticle displays aspects of both hydrogen spillover and dihydrogen bonding, and can adsorb 68 hydrogen atoms for nearly 8% weight hydrogen storage. • Exoglucanases, also known as cellobiohydrolases, are key catalysts in the enzymatic breakdown of cellulose to sugars, perhaps the most critical step in developing the capability to economically produce fuels and chemicals from fibrous biomass as well as sugar or starch. • Quantum dots are nanoscale photovoltaic crystals that can be "tuned" to particular wavelengths by varying their size, leading to potentially far greater efficiency than bulk materials. • A two-dimensional section extract of a wind turbine flow field developed with computational fluid dynamics modeling; the intricate structure of the flow field is responsible for powerful aerodynamic loads and complex aeroacoustic emissions. Graphic courtesy of P. Morris, L. Long, and K. Brentner, Pennsylvania State University. • Many transmission lines of the future electrical grid may look similar to those of today, but they will likely carry information as well as energy, allowing the control of electrical appliances and electrical generators, to better match the real-time needs of the system. All of these next-generation energy technologies require a vastly increased understanding and manipulation of fundamental processes—capabilities that can be greatly enhanced by high- performance, computing-based models and simulations.
