Analysis of Luminescent Solar Concentrator Performance Using a Ray Tracing Algorithm: Modelling, Optimization and Validation
(2017)In this paper, the behaviour of a LSC doped with Near-Infrared Quantum Dots (NIR-QD) in an epoxy host material is modelled by a ray tracing algorithm under different iteration numbers. It is shown that by increasing the ... -
Effects of Multiple Organic Dyes for Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers Application
(2017)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 ... -
High-resolution Climate Projections for Ireland – A Multi-model Ensemble Approach

Improving the Mathematical Model for Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers by Investigating their Loss Mechanisms
(2017)A Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layer is an optical approach to improve the solar cell’s optical response by using luminescent species doped in a polymer matrix material to form a thin layer to be deposited on top of the ... -
Quantum Dot Luminescent Solar Concentrator: Optimization of Concentration and Thickness
(2017)The absorption coefficient of a Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) can non-linearly affect the total optical efficiency (η_opt) and solar concentration ratio (C_P) of the device. Absorption is determined by two critical ...
