Amorphous silicon detectors for proton beam monitoring in FLASH radiotherapy
Nicolas Wyrsch, Luca Antognini, Christophe Ballif +7
Ultra-high dose rate radiation therapy (FLASH) based on proton irradiation is of major interest for cancer treatments but creates new challenges for dose monitoring. Amorphous hydr…
Reinforcement Learning for Joint Design and Control of Battery-PV Systems
Marine Cauz, Adrien Bolland, Bardhyl Miftari +3
The decentralisation and unpredictability of new renewable energy sources require rethinking our energy system. Data-driven approaches, such as reinforcement learning (RL), have em…
Balancing DSO interests and PV system economics with alternative tariffs
Alejandro Pena-Bello, Robin Junod, Christophe Ballif +1
Distributed rooftop photovoltaics (PV) is one of the pillars of the energy transition. However, the massive integration of distributed PV systems challenges the existing grid, with…
A Hydrogenated amorphous silicon detector for Space Weather Applications
Catia Grimani, Michele Fabi, Federico Sabbatini +35
The characteristics of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) detector are presented here for monitoring in space solar flares and the evolution of large energetic proton events…
Development of thin hydrogenated amorphous silicon detectors on a flexible substrate
M. Menichelli, M. Bizzarri, L. Calcagnile +40
The HASPIDE (Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon PIxels DEtectors) project aims at the development of thin hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) detectors on flexible substrates (most…
Privacy-preserving methods for smart-meter-based network simulations
Jordan Holweger, Lionel Bloch, Christophe Ballif +1
Smart-meters are a key component of energy transition. The large amount of data collected in near real-time allows grid operators to observe and simulate network states. However, p…
Distributed flexibility as a cost-effective alternative to grid reinforcement
Jordan Holweger, Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Wyrsch
The deployment of distributed photovoltaics (PV) in low-voltage networks may cause technical issues such as voltage rises, line ampacity violations, and transformer overloading for…
Testing of planar hydrogenated amorphous silicon sensors with charge selective contacts for the construction of 3D- detectors
M. Menichelli, M. Bizzarri, M. Boscardin +29
Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon (a-Si:H) is a material well known for its intrinsic radiation hardness and is primarily utilized in solar cells as well as for particle detection and…
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon detectors for particle detection, beam flux monitoring and dosimetry in high-dose radiation environment
Mauro Menichelli, Maurizio Boscardin, Michele Crivellari +14
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) has remarkable radiation resistance properties and can be deposited on a lot of different substrates. A-Si:H based particle detectors have b…
Mitigating the impact of distributed PV in a low-voltage grid using electricity tariffs
Jordan Holweger, Lionel Bloch, Christophe Ballif +1
A high share of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation in low-voltage networks may lead to over-voltage, and line/transformer overloading. To mitigate these issues, we investigat…
Unsupervised algorithm for disaggregating low-sampling-rate electricity consumption of households
Jordan Holweger, Marina Dorokhova, Lionel Bloch +2
Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) has been extensively researched over the last decade. The objective of NILM is to identify the power consumption of individual appliances and t…
Amorphous silicon-based microchannel plate detectors with high multiplication gain
Janina Löffler, Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Wyrsch
With their fast response time and a spatial resolution in the range of a few microns, microchannel plates (MCPs) are a prominent choice for the development of detectors with highes…
