“…Finally, in a technological applicability of RESs in the European context, Chatzisideris et al [38] focus on organic photovoltaics (OPV), which are an emerging thin-film PV technology that promises to greatly improve the environmental and economic performances of PV technologies. While generic results are applied to all PV technologies, it is shown that PV systems installed in Greek houses, perform economically better than those in Denmark.…”

“…Focusing on organic PV systems developed in an industrial-scale cost setting (1.53 €/Wp), it is argued that they deliver significant electricity bill savings for residential houses in Greece (38%) under current conditions, while they may not be sufficiently attractive for residential houses in Denmark (6.5%) mainly due to the different PV regulatory schemes. It is also noteworthy that investors interested in renewable energy technologies need to pursue scaling up the manufacturing capacity of OPV technologies, as well as assess a large number of countries to identify and prioritize financially attractive settings for PV self-consumption [38].…”

Renewable Energy and Economic Growth: Evidence from European Countries

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper aims at examining the relationship between energy consumption deriving from renewable energy sources, and countries’ economic growth expressed as GDP per capita concerning 25 European countries. The used dataset involves European countries’ data for the period from 2007 to 2016. The statistical analysis is based on descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL), and reveals that all variables are related; this suggests a correlation between the dependent variable of GDP and the independents of renewable energy sources (RES) and Non-RES energy consumption, gross fixed capital formation, and labor force in the long-run. Furthermore, the results show that there is a higher correlation between RES’ consumption and the economic growth of countries of higher GDP than with those of lower GDP. The obtained results are consistent with other papers reviewed in this study.

“…In [11] it is shown that households with PV and demand response programs achieve lower electricity costs when exposed to volatile prices of highly developed power markets, as is the Danish case, than in less developed ones, as in the Croatian case. The performance of residential organic PV systems is assessed at Denmark and Greece in [12], determining the influence of their net metering schemes, irradiation levels and matching between production and consumption profiles. The study in [12] is further developed in [13] including battery storage and life cycle assessment.…”

Analysis of the Net Metering Schemes for PV Self-Consumption in Denmark

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The current Danish regulatory framework BEK 999/2016 for hourly net settled new PV facilities is analysed in detail, evaluating the technical and economic differences between the several envisioned schemes. In addition to the saved cost of the self-consumed energy, the transmission system operator (TSO) tariffs and the public service obligation (PSO) tax are avoided for the self-consumed energy. Advantages regarding the electricity tax and VAT can also be obtained but according to a more varied casuistry, with a particular incentivizing effect for the residential customers. The installation-connected type group 2 is found the cheaper scheme and the billing concepts responsible for its minor cost are identified. This analysis is expected to contribute to discerning the different economic outcomes of the various schemes, helping to take informed investment decisions. Transcending the local value, some common characteristics of this complex framework that can also be found in other regulations may ease the comprehension of the leverage points and the policy instruments for modulating the economic results of the facilities and in this way also their path of deployment.

“…Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) with bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) architecture have drawn increasing attention because of their undeniable advantages over conventional siliconbased counterparts, such as solution processability with ink-jet printing, low cost, and light weight. 1 Outstanding results, including a new record for power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14% for single junction and 17.3% for tandem solar cells, have been recently reported in the field. 2,3 Conjugated polymers are the current choice in BHJ due to their good film forming and mechanical properties.…”

Scalable Synthesis of Naphthothiophene and Benzodithiophene Scaffolds as π-Conjugated Synthons for Organic Materials

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The synthesis on a gram-scale and the full characterization of naphtho[1,2-b]thiophene and benzo[1,2-b:6,5-b']dithiophene 4-carboxylate esters bearing 2-octyldodecyl side chains, and their stannylated and brominated derivatives, suitable for their insertion into π-conjugated polymers is described. The fully soluble and processable synthons are obtained through a cascade sequence of reactions, namely direct arylation and cross aldol condensation, which create an effective pathway for the annulation and π-extension of suitable, commercially available reagents. The newly reported synthesis are compared, whenever possible, using ‘green chemistry metrics’ with literature synthesis, showing dramatic improvements.
