Conference Object Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 26Semiconducting Copolymers Based on Meso-Substituted BODIPY for Inverted Organic Solar Cells and Field-Effect Transistors(Wiley, 2017-12-11) Ozdemir, Mehmet; Kim, Sang Woo; Kim, Hyungsug; Kim, Myung-Gil; Kim, Bumjoon J.; Kim, Choongik; Usta, HakanThe synthesis, physicochemical, and optoelectronic properties of a new class of low band-gap (approximate to 1.3 eV) donor-acceptor copolymers based on a highly electron-deficient meso-5-(2-octyldodecyl)thiophene-substituted BODIPY pi-unit are presented. The polymeric solutions exhibit strong aggregation-dependent excitonic properties indicating the presence of enhanced pi-coherence as a result of strong interchain interactions. The polymeric semiconductor thin films prepared by spin coating show isotropic nodule-like grains with essentially no ordering in the out-of-plane direction. Field-effect hole mobilities of 0.005 cm(2) V-1.s(-1) are observed in bottom-gate top-contact organic field-effect transistors, and inverted bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaics employing the polymer:PC71BM active layer exhibit excellent power conversion efficiencies of 6.2% with a short-circuit current of 16.6 mA cm(-2). As far as it is known, this is a record high value achieved to date for a boron-containing donor polymer in the photovoltaic literature indicating a significant enhancement in power conversion efficiency (>3-4 times). The findings clearly present that rationally designed BODIPY-based donor-acceptor copolymers can be a key player in photovoltaic applications.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 8Cloud Induced PV Impact on Voltage Profiles for Real Microgrids(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-09) Kocer, Mustafa Cagatay; Yoldaş, Yeliz; Gören, Selçuk; Onen, Ahmet; Alan, İrfan; Al-Agtash, Salem Y.; Tzovaras, Dimitrios K.; Borg, NicholasIntegration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into power systems has been a popular topic for a long time. Due to government policies and incentives, it will be more popular in the future since it is a free and environment-friendly nature. Besides its advantages, photovoltaic (PV) generation causes some serious problems to the grid. Since PV generation directly depends on the solar irradiance, cloud movements can cause sudden changes on the output of PV power and this results in some power issues in the system such as voltage violations, reverse power flow, voltage fluctuations. These types of issues complicate to maintain voltage within compulsory levels at customer sides. Thus, cloud-induced transients in PV power are seen as a potential handicap for the future expansion of renewable energy resources. This study investigates effects of instantaneous changes in PV power on the customer side voltage levels. Daily PV power output and voltage profiles were simulated using a real-world microgrid design that will be implemented in the Malta College of Arts Science and Technology (MCAST) Campus. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
