Model-Based Control of PV Manufacturing Processes
[Courtesy of R. J. Kee]
Sponsored by NREL, via a subcontract to Global Solar Energy, this project focused on the development of simulation capabilities and their incorporation into model-based process control strategies. The work supports low-cost, large-scale, manufacturing of thin-film photovoltaics using copper-gallium-indium-diselenide (CIGS) technology. This was a collaboration with Prof. Kee at CSM.
Flow and Transport for thin-film CdTe Photovoltaics
Sponsored by First Solar, LLC, this project concerned the manufacturing of cadmium-telluride based thin-film photovoltaics. The effort is primarily focused on the development and application of chemically reacting flow models to assist improvement of a manufacturing process. This was a collaboration with Prof. Kee at CSM.
