Therefore, energy efficient or green communication has become a very hot topic under the ground of limited energy resource and environmentally friendly transmission schemes. MIMO technique is capable of reducing the transmission power thanks to its diversity and multiplexing gain. Moreover, antenna selection(AS) is an alternative to extract many of the benefits in MIMO systems with a reduced cost of complexity and power. Although many works including several survey papers have investigated AS in MIMO systems, the goal of these works is only the capacity maximization or error rate minimization, which fails to guarantee the optimality of the energy efficiency in MIMO systems. In this paper, we overview the state of the art in the AS schemes in energy efficient MIMO systems, the goal of which is to optimize the energy efficiency of the whole system. Specifically, we introduce energy efficient AS in point-to-point MIMO, cooperative MIMO, multiuser MIMO and largescale MIMO systems, respectively. Several challenging and practical issues in this area are also addressed.展开更多

Simulators with high energy efficiency are used to simulate static-state load, and those with high dynamic performance typically have low energy efficiency. In this paper, the variants of secondary control（VSC） with power recovery are developed to solve this problem for loading hydraulic driving devices that operate under variable pressure, unlike classical secondary control（CSC） that operates in constant pressure network. Hydrostatic secondary control units are used as the loading components, by which the absorbed mechanical power from the tested device is converted into hydraulic power and then fed back into the tested system through 4 types of feedback passages（FPs）. The loading subsystem can operate in constant pressure network, controlled variable pressure network, or the same variable pressure network as that of the tested device by using different FPs. The 4 types of systems are defined, and their key techniques are analyzed, including work principle, simulating the work state of original tested device, static operation points, loading performance, energy efficiency, and control strategy, etc. The important technical merits of the 4 schemes are compared, and 3 of the schemes are selected, designed, simulated using AMESim and evaluated. The researching results show that the investigated systems can simulate the given loads effectively, realize the work conditions of the tested device, and furthermore attain a high power recovery efficiency that ranges from 0.54 to 0.85, even though the 3 schemes have different loading performances and energy efficiencies. This paper proposes several loading schemes that can achieve both high dynamic performance and high power recovery efficiency.展开更多

文摘With the continuous improvement of photovoltaic efficiency in the organic photovoltaic(OPV),interface engineering has emerged as a pivotal issue in their practical deployment.Currently,the robust crystallinity of small molecule electron transport layers(ETLs)and the poor film-forming abilities of conjugated polymer ETLs are a huge obstacle in this field.Herein,an innovative and efficient nonconjugated polymer ETL,namely PNDI-SO,which contains polar cationic segments for solubility and conjugated units for efficient charge transport in stable OPV cells,is reported.Endowed with suitable energy levels and excellent electron extraction capabilities,PNDI-SO-based OPV cells attain a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 18.54%.Furthermore,compared with conventional OPV cells utilizing PFN-Br or PDINN,PNDI-SO substantially enhances long-term stability under continuous illumination,evidenced by a T80 lifetime(signifying retention of 80% of initial performance)exceeding 1250 h.Notably,through scanning electron microscope,we verified that PNDI-SO achieves a harmonious balance between film-forming ability and charge transport properties for ETL,enabling the blade-coating OPV based on PBDB-TF:BTP-eC9 to achieve a PCE of 17.47%.These results suggest the potential of PNDI-SO as a promising interface material for industrial printing applications in OPV fabrication.
文摘Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells,capable of combin-ing high power conversion efficiency(PCE)with cost-effective-ness,are widely regarded as a leading and pivotal direction for the next generation photovoltaic technology[1,2].In two-terminal tandem structure,a crystalline silicon(c-Si)bottom cell is directly series-connected with a wide-bandgap(1.65−1.7 eV)(WBG)perovskite top cell,thereby leverage the comple-mentary spectral absorption properties of perovskite and silicon and improve the overall sunlight harvesting efficiency:high-energy photons are absorbed by the perovskite layer,while transmitted low-energy photons are captured by the c-Si subcell[3].Advancements in WBG perovskite composition and additive engineering,interface modification strategies,and optical and structural optimization have significantly enhanced the optoelectronic performance of such solar cells[4−10].Since the initial demonstration of rigid per-ovskite/c-Si tandems in 2015[11],nearly a decade of intensive development has enabled this architecture to achieve certi-fied PCEs to 34.9%[12,13],exceeds the Shockley−Queisser efficiency limit for single-junction solar cells[14].

文摘A nonfused ring electron acceptor(NFREA),designated as TT-Ph-C6,has been synthesized with the aim of enhancing the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of organic solar cells(OSCs).By integrating asymmetric phenylalkylamino side groups,TT-Ph-C6 demonstrates excellent solubility and its crystal structure exhibits compact packing structures with a three-dimensional molecular stacking network.These structural attributes markedly promote exciton diffusion and charge carrier mobility,particularly advantageous for the fabrication of thick-film devices.TT-Ph-C6-based devices have attained a PCE of 18.01%at a film thickness of 100 nm,and even at a film thickness of 300 nm,the PCE remains at 14.64%,surpassing that of devices based on 2BTh-2F.These remarkable properties position TT-Ph-C6 as a highly promising NFREA material for boosting the efficiency of OSCs.

文摘The fluorination strategy has been proven effective in significantly enhancing the photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells(OSCs) based on non-fused ring electron acceptors(NFREAs).However,research on the impact of fluorination positions at side chains on NFREAs device performance remains scant.In this study,we introduce two isomeric NFREAs,designated as GA-2F-E and GA-2F,distinguished by their fluorination positions at the side chains.Both NFREAs share a thiophene[3,2-b]thiophene core,but their side chains differ:GA-2F-E features two(4-butylphenyl)-N-(4-fluorophenyl) amino groups,whereas GA-2F's side chains consist of bis(4-fluorophenyl)amino and bis(4-butylphenyl)amino groups attached to opposite sides of the core.To delve into the influence of fluorination positions on the optoelectronic properties,aggregation behavior,and overall efficiency of the acceptor molecules,a comprehensive investigation was conducted.The findings reveal that,despite similar photophysical properties and comparable absorption bandwidths,GA-2F-E,with fluorine atoms positioned on both sides of the molecular framework,demonstrates more compact π-π stacking,reduced bimolecular recombination,superior exciton transport,and a more balanced,higher mobility.As a result of these advantages,OSCs optimized with D18:GA-2F-E achieve a remarkable power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 16.45 %,surpassing the 15.83 %PCE of devices utilizing D18:GA-2F.This research underscores the potential of NFREAs in future applications and highlights the significance of fluorination positions in enhancing OSC performance,paving the way for the development of more efficient NFREAs.

文摘The rational design of polymer acceptors with strong and broad absorption is critical to improve photovoltaic performance.In this work,a new polymer acceptor PY9-T based on heptacyclic benzotriazole(Y9-C16)as a building block and thiophene unit as the linking unit was synthesized,which exhibited a low bandgap(1.37 eV)and a high extinction coefficient of the neat film(1.44×10^(5) cm^(−1)).When PY9-T was blended with the wide bandgap polymer donor PBDB-T,the all-polymer solar cells(APSCs)showed a high power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 10.45%with both high open circuit voltage of 0.881 V and short-circuit current density of 19.82 mA/cm^(2).In addition,APSCs based on PY9-T show good thermal stability,as evidenced by slight changes morphologies when annealed at 100℃.These results suggest that Y9-C16 provides a new building block to develop efficient and stable polymer acceptors.
文摘Current high power load simulators are generally incapable of obtaining both high loading performance and high energy efficiency. Simulators with high energy efficiency are used to simulate static-state load, and those with high dynamic performance typically have low energy efficiency. In this paper, the variants of secondary control（VSC） with power recovery are developed to solve this problem for loading hydraulic driving devices that operate under variable pressure, unlike classical secondary control（CSC） that operates in constant pressure network. Hydrostatic secondary control units are used as the loading components, by which the absorbed mechanical power from the tested device is converted into hydraulic power and then fed back into the tested system through 4 types of feedback passages（FPs）. The loading subsystem can operate in constant pressure network, controlled variable pressure network, or the same variable pressure network as that of the tested device by using different FPs. The 4 types of systems are defined, and their key techniques are analyzed, including work principle, simulating the work state of original tested device, static operation points, loading performance, energy efficiency, and control strategy, etc. The important technical merits of the 4 schemes are compared, and 3 of the schemes are selected, designed, simulated using AMESim and evaluated. The researching results show that the investigated systems can simulate the given loads effectively, realize the work conditions of the tested device, and furthermore attain a high power recovery efficiency that ranges from 0.54 to 0.85, even though the 3 schemes have different loading performances and energy efficiencies. This paper proposes several loading schemes that can achieve both high dynamic performance and high power recovery efficiency.

文摘The Carnot-like heat engines are classified into three types （normal-, sub- and, super-dissipative） accord- ing to relations between the minimum irreversible entropy production in the ＂isothermal＂ processes and the time for completing those processes. The efficiencies at maximum power of normal-, sub- and super-dissipative Carnot-like heat engines are proved to be bounded between ηc/2 and ηc/ （2 - ηc ）, ηc /2 and ηc, 0 and ηc/ （2 - ηc ）, respectively. These bounds are also shared by linear, sub- and super-linear irreversible Carnot-like engines [Tu and Wang, Europhys. Left. 98 （2012） 40001] although the dissipative engines and the irreversible ones are inequivalent to each other.

文摘The self-assembly process for compatible functional layers of devices is a simple,feasible,and energy-saving strategy.In mesoporous perovskite solar cells(PSCs),compact and scaffold TiO_(2) films generally function as the hole-blocking and electron-transporting layers,respectively.However,both of these layers are usually generated through a high-temperature annealing process.Here,we deposited TiO_(2) compact films through a room-temperature self-assembly process as effective hole-blocking layers for PSCs.The thickness of TiO_(2) compact films can be easily controlled by the deposition time.Through the optimization of TiO_(2) compact films(80 nm),the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of mesoporous PSCs without and with hole conductor layers increases up to 10.66%and 17.95%,respectively.Notably,an all-low-temperature planar PSC with the self-assembled TiO_(2) layer exhibits a PCE of 16.41%.

文摘Research on asymmetric A–D–A structured non-fullerene acceptors has lagged far behind the development of symmetric counterpart.In this contribution,by simply replacing one sulfur atom in indacenodithiophene unit with a selenium atom,an asymmetric building block Se PT and a corresponding asymmetric non-fullerene acceptor Se PT-IN have been developed.Asymmetric Se PT-IN achieved a high efficiency of 10.20% in organic solar cells when blended with PBT1-C,much higher than that of symmetric TPT-IN counterpart(8.91%).Our results demonstrated an effective heteroatom substitution strategy to develop asymmetric A–D–A structured non-fullerene acceptors.
文摘To overcome the problems encountered in predicting the endurance of electricpowered fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),which were stemmed from the dynamic changes in electric power system efficiency and battery discharge characteristics under different operating conditions,the required battery power model and battery discharge model were studied.The required battery power model was determined using an approximate model of electric power system efficiency based on wind tunnel testing and the self-adaptive penalty function.Furthermore,current correction and ambient temperature correction terms were proposed for the trained Kriging model representing the discharge characteristics under standard operation,and then the discharged capacity-terminal voltage model was established.Through numerical integration of this model with the required battery power model,the electric-powered fixed-wing UAV endurance prediction model was obtained.Laboratory tests indicated that the proposed endurance model could precisely calculate the battery discharge time and accurately describe the battery discharge process.The similarity of the theoretical and flight test results reflected the accuracy of the proposed endurance model as well as the importance of considering dynamic changes in power system efficiency in endurance calculations.The proposed endurance model meeting precision requirements can be used in practical engineering applications.
