The Chinese manufacturer and IT and telecommunications giant has held this top position since 2015. A number of factors account for Huawei’s success in the global PV industry. First, the compa- ny’s technology is highly advanced and is bolstered by increas- ingly leveraging its IT and telecoms expertise to deliver smart PV solutions. Second, the company’s brand is recognized globally for quality while offering an excellent price-performance ratio. And third, the company delivers solutions to scale across the various market segments, from residential solar to C&I and utility-scale PV – and for each one, the company offers a competitive level- ized cost of energy (LCOE) to its customers. At pv magazine, we are honored to work with Huawei for the fourth special edition highlighting the manufacturer’s latest technology, products, solutions, and projects in various mar- kets. Huawei’s success in the global solar PV industry is based on the company’s continuous technological innovation. Most sig- nificantly, it has managed to integrate its powerful information and communications technology (ICT) with its PV products – to create smart PV solutions for lower LCOE and O&M costs. This integration has been instrumental for Huawei to become building a core architecture for device-edge-cloud synergy to the leader in string inverter deployments. The company now has maximize the value of each PV plant and technologically accel- more than 100 GW of capacity installed, and is the only inverter erate the industry. manufacturer to have crossed this historic milestone. Huawei has ushered in a new era for large-scale PV development, with string Another frontier for the solar PV industry is the integration of inverters now selected as a mainstream option in utility-scale battery storage technology. Here too Huawei is trailblazing ahead projects, which were previously dominated by central inverters. with its new LUNA2000 energy storage system, scheduled to be available in the third quarter of this year.

  • Photovoltaic Power Generation
    Photovoltaic Power Generation * by Tom Penick and Bill Louk *Photo is from “Industry-Photovoltaic Power Stations1,” http://www.nedo.go.jp/nedo-info/solarDB/photo2/1994- e/4/4.6/01.html, December 1, 1998. PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATION Submitted to Gale Greenleaf, Instructor EE 333T Prepared by Thomas Penick and Bill Louk December 4, 1998 ABSTRACT This report is an overview of photovoltaic power generation. The purpose of the report is to provide the reader with a general understanding of photovoltaic power generation and how PV technology can be practically applied. There is a brief discussion of early research and a description of how photovoltaic cells convert sunlight to electricity. The report covers concentrating collectors, flat-plate collectors, thin-film technology, and building-integrated systems. The discussion of photovoltaic cell types includes single-crystal, poly-crystalline, and thin-film materials. The report covers progress in improving cell efficiencies, reducing manufacturing cost, and finding economic applications of photovoltaic technology. Lists of major manufacturers and organizations are included, along with a discussion of market trends and projections. The conclusion is that photovoltaic power generation is still more costly than conventional systems in general. However, large variations in cost of conventional electrical power, and other factors, such as cost of distribution, create situations in which the use of PV power is economically sound. PV power is used in remote applications such as communications, homes and villages in developing countries, water pumping, camping, and boating. Grid- connected applications such as electric utility generating facilities and residential rooftop installations make up a smaller but more rapidly expanding segment of PV use.

  • The History of Implementation of Pilgrimage in the Pagan Era
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 12 ISSN: 2222-6990 The History of Implementation of Pilgrimage in the Pagan Era 1Rizalman Muhammad, 2Faiz Hakimi Mat Idris, 3Kamaliah Salleh, 2Ahmad Zahid Salleh, 2Mohamad Zaidin Mohamad 1Institut Pendidikan Guru, Ipoh Campus, Malaysia 2Faculty of Islamic Contemporary Studies, UniSZA, Malaysia 3Faculty of Law, Accountancy & International Relations, UniSZA, Malaysia Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3636 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3636 Abstract The first pilgrimage performed by the Prophet Abraham which was in the 20th century BC had eventually been mixed with polytheism and heresy elements before Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was sent to this world. In this regard, this article aims to reveal the ritual of the hajj in the ancient Arab society which is different from the current practice of Muslims nowadays. This article is a qualitative study using content analysis. The finding reveals that although Arab community remained to believe in Allah, but in view to the long gap between the two ages of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), they had mixed up the implementation of a true and wrong rituals in their pilgrimage. Keywords: Pilgrimage, Pagan Arabs, Kaaba, Mecca Introduction The term Jahiliyyah is derived from jahl which connotes a description of pre-Islamic Arab society who were ignorance of the God, the prophets, the way of life, and who were also arrogantly and imperiously proud of their lineage (Ibn Manzur n.d.). It was a dark age of the Arab history with the absence of divine light to guide their faith, and their lives were fully deviated and strayed from the religious method.

  • Astro Case Study
    Case Study ASTRO RADIO: VIRTUAL CONSOLE TECHNOLOGY MALAYSIA’S LARGEST BROADCASTER REINVENTS RADIO STUDIOS WITH LAWO VIRTUAL MIXING Case Study VIRTUAL MIXING AT ASTRO RADIO “A RADICAL RE-IMAGINING OF WHAT AN ON-AIR STUDIO COULD LOOK LIKE.” Astro Radio, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, has become one of Southeast Asia‘s most influential broadcasters since their inception in 1996. With 11 radio formats in multiple languages, including the popular Era, Sinar, Gegar, My, Hitz and other channels, Astro Radio reaches over 15.8 million listeners every week in Malaysia alone. Astro began operations in 1996 and immediately became known for their technological excellence, employing a cutting-edge audio routing system and digital broadcast consoles custom manufactured to meet their technical requirements. But by 2006, Astro needed more capabilities and simpler studio workflows, so that on-air talent could focus on content creation rather than technical duties. “Around 2015, we picked up on the touchscreen trend,” says Bala Murali Subramaney, Astro Radio’s Chief Technology Officer. “We envisioned a full-blown radio broadcast console - on a touchscreen. Not a ‘lite’ console with only some console features nor a touchscreen with a console ‘simulation’.” Astro Radio Broadcast Center, Kuala Lumpur The virtual console Astro engineers envisioned would be a true radio broadcast console, with all the features and functionalities of the professional broadcast consoles they relied on. “We took the best features of our first console, analyzed common operator mistakes and asked for improvement suggestions, then we condensed this data into a comprehensive document and presented it as our mandate to Lawo – whose response was the Zirkon-2s modular broadcast console,” says Bala.
