Spectral coupling of atmosphere and the performance of perovskite solar cells (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fernandez, E. F., Senthilarasu, S., Garcia-Loureiro, A., Almonacid, F., & Mallick, T. (2015, February). Spectral coupling of atmosphere and the performance of perovskite solar cells. Presented at 2015 10th Spanish Conference on Electron Devices (CDE), Aranjuez - Madrid, Spain

Perovskite solar cells have opened a potential market for the low cost manufacturing technics based solar cells which can change the photovoltaic (PV) production road map. Apart from the demonstrated high conversion efficiencies, these cells need to... Read More about Spectral coupling of atmosphere and the performance of perovskite solar cells.

An improved perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for higher efficiency (2015)
Journal Article
Ahmed, J., & Salam, Z. (2015). An improved perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for higher efficiency. Applied Energy, 150, 97-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2015.04.006

This paper proposes a method to improve the efficiency of the P&O maximum power point tracker (MPPT) by reducing the steady state oscillation and eliminating the possibility of the algorithm to lose its tracking direction. A dynamic perturbation step... Read More about An improved perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for higher efficiency.

The Data Driven Lives of Wargaming Miniatures (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Darzentas, D. P., Brown, M. A., Flintham, M., & Benford, S. (2015, April). The Data Driven Lives of Wargaming Miniatures. Presented at CHI '15: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Seoul, Republic of Korea

We present an ethnographic study of the practice of miniature wargaming in order to shed light onto the complex lives of physical things and the ways in which they acquire data footprints. We take an extended view of the practice, revealing how peopl... Read More about The Data Driven Lives of Wargaming Miniatures.

What To Study In HCI? A Reflection Based On CHI and UK Research Data (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Padilla, S., Methven, T. S., Robb, D. A., & Chantler, M. J. (2015, April). What To Study In HCI? A Reflection Based On CHI and UK Research Data. Presented at What to Study in HCI? Workshop at CHI’15: 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

HCI is a wide, varied, and complex field that covers a broad spectrum of research. We therefore believe that there is no simple answer to the question 'what to study in HCI?' To shed some light on it, however, we reflect on this question with the aid... Read More about What To Study In HCI? A Reflection Based On CHI and UK Research Data.

The Case for Mass Customisation of Structural Timber Design (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Livingstone, A., Menendez, J., Leitch, K., & Hairstans, R. (2015, April). The Case for Mass Customisation of Structural Timber Design. Presented at Structures Congress 2015

This paper reports on the potential of timber for structural applications in the
international construction market, particularly in the light of its environmental
credentials and the advances being made in engineered timber products. The UK market... Read More about The Case for Mass Customisation of Structural Timber Design.

Consumer attitudes towards renewable energy in China—The case of Shanghai (2015)
Journal Article
Hast, A., Alimohammadisagvand, B., & Syri, S. (2015). Consumer attitudes towards renewable energy in China—The case of Shanghai. Sustainable Cities and Society, 17, 69-79. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2015.04.003

In this paper, we study the consumers’ attitudes towards green energy in China and their willingness to buy green electricity or renewable energy systems. A survey was conducted in the Shanghai region and 232 respondents answered the questionnaire. G... Read More about Consumer attitudes towards renewable energy in China—The case of Shanghai.
