We investigated capacitors based on polycrystalline narrow-band-gap BiFeO(3) (BFO) thin films with different top electrodes. The photovoltaic response for the capacitor with a Sn-doped In(2)O(3) (ITO) top electrode is about 25 times higher than that with a Au top electrode, which indicates that the electrode plays a key role in determining …

That hard-won conversion efficiency can easily be wasted, and the very feasibility of solar PV as a reliable energy source challenged, without an effective design in the other – and in many respects, more critical – major component of the system: the inverter. PV cells produce DC, but very few applications employ that DC output directly.
New energy integration and flexible demand response make smart grid operation scenarios complex and changeable, which bring challenges to network planning. If every possible scenario is considered, the solution to the planning can become extremely time-consuming and difficult. This paper introduces statistical machine learning (SML) …
