3D Modelling Tool to Optimise Advanced Plasmonic Luminescent Solar Devices for Building Integrated Photovoltaic Applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2019)This research concentrates on modelling and optimisation of a static building integrated PV (BIPV) component in which both direct and diffuse solar radiation are harvested through luminescent solar (LS) devices. Plasmonic ... -
An Integrated Optical-Electrical Modelling Framework and Fabrication Techniques for Large-Scale Luminescent Solar Concentrator Modules
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2025)The European Union aims to achieve at least a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, en route to reaching climate neutrality by 2050, as outlined in the European Green Deal. Achieving these ambitious targets ... -
Material Characterization of Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers for Solar Cells Application
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2019)High energy photons in the UV region are not efficiently used in solar cells and limit the overall efficiency of the cell. Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layers can be used to convert the high energy photons to a lower ... -
Metal Nanoparticles for application in Luminescent Solar Concentrators
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2020)Rising global temperature calls for innovative ways to deal with the ever-growing energy demand. Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSC) are low concentration, solar radiation collectors. LSCs have the potential to be used ... -
Optimisation of Luminescent Downshifting Layers for Large-scale PV Systems Integration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2024)This research project aims to enhance Photovoltaic (PV) technology's power conversion efficiency by adding a Luminescent Downshifting Layer (LDS). An LDS increases the solar spectrum absorption range of a PV cell, enabling ...
