Shrieking Sharapova silences Halep in Paris
PARIS, (Reuters) – Her 12 double faults were a nuisance and the non-stop shrieks that punctured the air for more than three hours even made a baby wail, yet all Maria Sharapova will want to remember from the French Open is the moment she sunk to her knees in triumph. The Russian had scrapped in eight major finals, winning four of them, but never before had she been taken to three sets in a showpiece match until she ran into a tireless Romanian named Simona Halep yesterday.
A woman who had played three successive three-set matches to reach the final was left in no doubt about where her 6-4 6-7(5) 6-4 win over Halep stood among her major wins.

Sleep Products Research and Reviews – Why They Are Important For Every Consumer
Having the right sleep products such as mattresses and pillows for instance, can significantly make your life more comfortable. As a matter of fact, apart from taking the search for these products seriously, there are a lot of individuals that are willing to spend a decent amount of their resources on them. Now with that in mind, sleep products research and reviews, are definitely important for those that have plans of buying these items any time soon.
One of the biggest benefits of doing these two things, is that they can provide you with more ideas about the products you are planning to buy, and learn more about any other great ones out there that you aren't aware of. The information that you will get from these two things will give you a lot of information about the products you are planning to purchase and help you figure out which ones will give you the best value for your investment. Always bear in mind that as a consumer, information about the products you find in the market, will be your best friend in terms of making wiser shopping decisions.
Secondly, doing research and checking out reviews, can also help you a lot when comparing multiple options that you find interesting during your search. If you want to figure out which of the products you were able to find is the more superior one, then reviews in particular will be able to help you immensely. Additionally, since there are reviews on the internet today that actually do side by side comparisons of multiple products, things can become even easier for us consumers.
Last of all, and definitely something that a lot of people will really love, is the improved capabilities that you will have, in terms of effectively finding products in the market these days that are extremely cost-effective. Let's be honest here guys, all of us definitely want to get our hands on a high quality product, but more often than not, we aren't willing to spend a king's fortune to do so.

For those of you that are planning on purchasing any sleep products any time soon, make sure that you take into consideration the many benefits mentioned above. Since you will get your hands on great products at the end of the day, all the extra time and effort you invest on sleep products research and reviews, will definitely be worth it. So with that being said, hopefully you are able to find the products that you need most for a more comfortable life.

Man dies after shooting at Glendale party
SALT LAKE CITY — Police are searching for a man in connection with the shooting death of another early Sunday morning following a shooting at a Glendale party.
Police responded to a 4:50 a.m. call that shots had been fired at 1094 S. Glendale Drive, but the victim, 20-year-old Valentin Sigala, had been taken to Intermountain Medical Center by a friend, where he was pronounced dead, according to Salt Lake City Police Lt. Scott White.
Sigala was struck in the chest by a single shot, White said.
Police are looking for 22-year-old Philip Lucero, who they say may have been involved in the incident. Lucero is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall and 175 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen driving a beige Chevrolet Trailblazer.
Police are requesting the public's help in locating Lucero, though they caution that he is considered armed and dangerous. Salt Lake City Police Lt. Josh Sharman said Lucero may be traveling southwest toward Nevada.
White said the death was connected to the shooting at the party by the license plate of the vehicle that left the victim at the hospital. He said it was not yet clear whether the victim died on the way to the hospital.
"They pretty much dropped him off and left," White said. "Their intent was probably to get him help, but they didn't stick around."
Police believe the shooting took place after a fight broke out that spilled over into the front yard of the house where the party was being held. Sharman said police had not determined a motive for the altercation and shooting Sunday. They were interviewing witnesses from the party with assistance from the Salt Lake City gang unit.

Russian-built 'Kilo-class' diesel-electric submarine repaired by Iranian engineers after original builders declined the work.
Iran has returned a Russian-built Project 877 class (NATO Kilo) diesel-electric submarine to the waters of the Persian Gulf following a refit, IRNA news agency reports.
The refitted boat, the Tareq, was relaunched at the port of Bandar Abbas. Iran has three Project 877 boats bought from Russia in the 1990s.
"Iranian engineers have repaired the boat's radars, pneumatic and compressor systems, pumps, engines, telecommunications and other systems," Vice Admiral Abbas Zamini, who oversaw the refit, told Iranian TV.
Iran also lauched a new indigenously-designed frigate, the Sahand, at Bandar Abbas on Tuesday, IRNA reported.
The vessel launches come at a time of increased tension in the region, with the United States and other western powers deploying large numbers of naval vessels to the region and Israeli politicians making increasingly strident warnings over Iran's nuclear program.

Weblogic Sessions at Cloud Expo
Welcome to the latest BriefingsDirect Analyst Insights Edition, Volume 45. This periodic discussion and dissection of IT infrastructure related news and events with industry analysts and guests, looks at a new book on cloud computing, a step-by-step guide on figuring out the right path to combined cloud and SOA benefits.
Dave Linthicum's new book, Cloud Computing and SOA Convergence in Your Enterprise: A Step-by-Step Guide, has just arrived and digs into the conflation of SOA and cloud computing. Our discussion with Linthicum on his findings is moderated by me, Dana Gardner, principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
Here are some excerpts:
Linthicum: SOA is the way to do cloud. I saw early on that SOA, if you get beyond the hype that's been around for the last two years, is really an architectural pattern that predates the SOA buzzword, or the SOA TLA.
It's really about breaking down your architecture into a primitive state of several components, including services and data and processes. Then, it's figuring out how to assemble those in such a way that you can not only solve your existing problems, but use those components to resolve problems, as your business changes over time or your mission changes or expands.
Cloud computing is a nice enhancement to that. Cloud doesn't replace SOA, as some people say. Cloud computing is basically architectural options or ways in which you can host your services, in this case, in the cloud.
As we go through reinventing your architecture around the concept of SOA, we can figure out which components, services, processes, or data are good candidates for cloud computing, and we can look at the performance, security and governance aspects of it.
Architectural advantages
We find that some of our services can exist out on the platform in the cloud, which provides us with some additional architectural advantages such as self-provisioning, the ability to get on the cloud very quickly in a very short time without buying hardware and software or expanding our data centers, and the ability to rapidly expand as we need to expand basically on demand.
If we need to go from 10 users to 1,000 users, we can do so in a matter of weeks, not having to buy data-center space, waves and waves of servers, software, hardware licenses, and all those sorts of things. Cloud computing provides you with some flexibility, but it doesn't get away from the core needs to architecture. So, really the book is about how to use SOA in the context of cloud computing, and that's the message I'm really trying to get across.
... As we move toward cloud computing, there are more economical and cost-effective architectural options. There is also the ability to play around with SOA in the cloud, which I think is driving a lot of the SOA. In fact, I find that a lot of people build their first initial SOA as cloud-delivered systems, be it Amazon, IBM, Azure from Microsoft, and some of the other platforms that are out there.
Then, once they figure out the benefits of that, they start putting pieces of it on premise, as it makes sense, and put pieces of it on the cloud. It has the tendency to drive prototyping on the cheap and to leverage architecture and play around with different technologies without the investment we had to do in the past.
... We've got to stop the insanity. We've got control IT spending. We've got to be much more effective and efficient with the way in which we spend and leverage IT resources. Cloud computing is only a mechanism, it's not a savior for doing that. We need to start marching in new directions and being aggressively innovative around the efficiency, the expandability, and ultimately the agility of IT.
... When you're doing SOA and considering SOA within your enterprise or agency, you should always consider cloud as an architectural option. In other words, we have servers we're looking to deploy in middleware, we're looking to leverage in databases we're looking to leverage in terms of SOA. It's governance systems, security systems, and identity management.
Cloud computing is really another set of things that you need to consider in the context of SOA, and you need to start playing around with the stuff now, because it's so cheap. There's no reason that anybody who's working on an SOA shouldn't be playing around with cloud, given the amount of investment that's needed. It's almost nothing, especially with some of the initial forays, some of the prototypes, and some of the pilot projects that need to be done around cloud.
... Software as a service (SaaS) is probably the easiest way to get into the cloud. It also has the most potential to save you the greatest amount of money. Instead of buying a million-dollar, or a two-million-dollar customer reliationship management (CRM) system, you can leverage Salesforce.com for $50-60 a month.
After that, I would progress into infrastructures as a service (IaaS), and that's basically data center on demand. So, it's databases, application servers, WebSphere, and all those sorts of things that you are able to leverage from the data center, but, instead of a data center, you leverage it from the cloud.
Guys like Amazon obviously are in that game. Microsoft, or the Azure platform, are in that game. Any number of players out there are going to be able to provide you with core infrastructure or primitive infrastructure. In other words, it's just available to you over the 'Net with some of kind of a metering system. I would start playing around with that technology after you get through with SaaS.
. . . Instead of having to buy infrastructure and buy a server and set it up and use it, we could go get Google App Engine accounts or Azure accounts.
Then, I would take a look at the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) technology, if you are doing any kind of application development. That's very cool stuff. Those are guys like Force, Google App Engine, and Bungee Labs. They provide you with a complete application development and deployment platform as a service. Then, I would progress into the more detailed stuff -- database, storage, and some of the other more sophisticated services on top of the primitive services that we just mentioned.
... PaaS with that Google App Engine is driving a lot of innovation right now. People are building applications out there, because they don't have to bother existing IT to get servers and databases brought online, and that will spur innovation.
So, today, we could figure out we want to go off and build this great application and do this great thing to automate a business and, instead of having to buy infrastructure and buy a server and set it up and use it, we could go get Google App Engine accounts or Azure accounts.
Huge potential
Then, we can start building, deploying, defining the database, do the testing, get it up and running, and have it immediately. It's web based and accessible to millions of users who are able to leverage the application in a scalable way. It's an amazing kind of infrastructure when you think about it. The potential is there to build huge, innovative things with very few resources.
... Ten years ago, it was very difficult to do a start up. You'd have a million dollars in investment funds just to get your infrastructure up and running. Now, startups can basically operate with a minimal amount of resources, typically a laptop, pointing at any number of cloud resources.
They can build their applications out there. They can build their intellectual capital. They can build their software. They can deploy it. They can test it. Then, they can provision the customers out there and meter their customers. So, it's a great time to be in this business.
... There needs to be a lot of education about the opportunities and the advantages of using cloud computing, as well as what the limitations are and what things we have to watch out for. Not all applications and all pieces of data are going to be right for the cloud. However, we need to educate people in terms of what the opportunities are.
The fact of the matter is that it's not going to be a dysfunctional and risky thing to move pieces of our architecture out into cloud computing. Get them around the pilot. Get them to go out there and try it. Get them to basically experiment with the technology. Figure out what the capabilities are, and that will ultimately change the culture.
... We're going to get to a point where the data is going to be a ubiquitous thing. It doesn't really matter where it resides and where we can access it, as long as we access it from a particular model. It's not going to make any difference to the users either. I just blogged about that in InfoWorld.
In fact, we're getting into this notion of what I call the "invisible cloud." In other words, we're not doing application as a service or SaaS, where people get new interfaces that are web-driven. We're putting pieces of the back-end architectural components -- processes, services, and, in this case, data -- out on the platform of the cloud. It really doesn't matter to them where that data resides, as long as they can get at it when they need it.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

I am very impressed with this bike. It is light, fast and looks great. The bike climbs very well and as I live in a hilly area this is brilliant! For a entry racing bike you can't go wrong with this bike. The bike came with all the adjustments done from wheel truing to the brakes being set perfectly. The flashy full carbon fork makes a difference on the weight which you can feel. It goes round corners pretty well. I really can't think of anything wrong with this bike. Merida claims that this bike has internal routing but the only cable that is internally routed is the back brake. Overall, this is a brilliant bike!

Competing Prayers
O death! Why do you touch the tree beneath whose spreading branches weariness finds rest? Why do you snatch away the excellent of the earth, in whom is all our delight? If you must use your axe, use it upon the trees that yield no fruit; then you may be thanked. But why will you chop down the best trees? Hold your axe, and spare the righteous.
But no, it must not be; death strikes the best of our friends: the most generous, the most prayerful, the most holy, the most devoted must die. And why? It is through Jesus' prevailing prayer--"Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am."
It is that which bears them on eagle's wings to heaven. Every time a believer moves from this earth to paradise, it is an answer to Christ's prayer. A good old divine remarks, "Many times Jesus and His people pull against one another in prayer. You bend your knee in prayer and say 'Father, I desire that Your saints be with me where I am'; Christ says, 'Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am.'"
In this way the disciple is at cross-purposes with his Lord. The soul cannot be in both places: The beloved one cannot be with Christ and with you too. Now, which of the two who plead shall win the day? If you had your choice, if the King should step from His throne and say, "Here are two supplicants praying in opposition to one another," which shall be answered? Oh, I am sure, though it were agony, you would jump to your feet and say, "Jesus, not my will, but Yours be done." You would give up your prayer for your loved one's life, if you could realize the thoughts that Christ is praying in the opposite direction--"Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am."
Lord, You shall have them. By faith we let them go.

Held in Honor is a rich collection of 50 insightful quotes on marriage, carefully selected from church history dating all the way back to the first century. Each quote is accompanied by a Scripture-based devotional designed to encourage married couples or couples contemplating marriage.
The historical quotations in Held in Honor provide a collection of wisdom from the ages. Although the union of a man and woman my look different in any given time or place, there are common challenges that transcend culture, age, ethnicity, and context. This devotional invites couples to the common experience by drawing upon wisdom from the past.
Held in Honor brings together voices from Ignatius of Antioch to Elisabeth Elliott to Charles Spurgeon. Regardless of where couples are in the journey of marriage, these insights from the past are designed to draw couples closer to God and to remind couples of the roles God intended for both husbands and wives.

About the Moyen size: a Moyen poodle falls between the Miniature Poodle and the Standard Poodle in size, although anything over 15 inches is a Standard Poodle so, technically, a Moyen is a small Standard. Pixie measures 20 inches to her withers and weighs 28 little pounds! Her big sister Truffle measures 22 inches to her withers and weighs 32 pounds.
We do not do hip or elbow X-rays on the smaller poodle as congenital hip and elbow displasia is extremely rare in the Moyen size.

How do you make a light, low-density material without compromising its strength? It's a conundrum that has plagued engineers and builders looking for tough, durable materials that don't weigh them down.
Now, using a high-tech 3D printer, scientists in Germany have created a lightweight but very strong material inspired by the intricate microscopic architecture of living tissue - our own bones.
The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could pave the way for future super-light materials that could be used in microfluidics devices or to make lighter (and thus cheaper) spacecraft.
"It's a long-standing aim in engineering to create new materials which are even lighter and stronger, (but) there's some kind of limit reached with standard materials," said lead author Jens Bauer, a mechanical engineer at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. "Now we have to figure out how we can go further - and one idea is to do it like nature does."
Industrial materials like steel are often solid and thus very dense and heavy - which is a drawback if you're trying to make something strong but light (like a plane).
Even though experts have managed to make artificial 'cellular' materials like aluminum foam, which is full of air pockets and thus much lighter than a solid hunk of metal, there's a trade-off - the porous metal is much weaker than solid metal would be. It's not easy to engineer strong materials less dense than water (which is about 1,000 kilograms per cubic meter).
Wood and bone don't seem to have this problem.
These living tissues, natural cellular materials, are porous but still very strong - and it's because of how the air pockets are arranged. In metal foam, the air bubbles are random, and so is the structure. But in wood and bone, there's a complex architectural pattern to the bits of bone crisscrossing through all those air pockets that are designed to bear loads.
(It's a little bit like a table's legs: Even though the area under the tabletop is mostly air, those skinny sticks can hold up the tabletop and because they're placed in a way to take the load.)
Wood and bone have another advantage. Their cellular architecture starts on very tiny, microscopic scales, which allows them to take advantage of the size effect - the smaller your building material, the stronger it gets.
Is this phenomenon related to how tiny ants can carry loads at 50 times their body weight, but humans can't?.
"It's not really the same size effect, but it's similar," Bauer said.
So the researchers used a 3D laser lithography machine - basically a very fancy 3D printer - to build very tiny microstructures out of a ceramic-polymer composite. They made several different designs, from cubic grids with diagonal supports to hexagonal honeycomb-like structures.
These light building materials were remarkably tough - they exceeded the strength to weight ratio of all engineering materials with a density less than that of water, the researchers said.
There's no good way to mass-produce such materials, Bauer said - the technology is very young. But it does raise the hope that such bioinspired materials could one day make building safe but lightweight structures much easier.

Black silicon is irradiated with a laser
Is it really possible that, as many people anticipate, solar energy could meet almost one-third of the world's energy demand by 2060? Well, if that's going to happen, it will have to become a lot more economical.
There are two main kinds of solar energy - solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP). PV directly converts solar energy into electricity using a PV cell made of a semiconductor material, while CSP devices concentrate energy from the sun's rays to heat a receiver to high temperatures. This heat is transformed first into mechanical energy (by turbines or other engines) and then into electricity - solar thermal electricity (STE).
Over the period 2000-11, solar PV was the fastest growing renewable power technology worldwide. Cumulative installed capacity of solar PV reached roughly 65GW at the end of 2011, up from only 1.5GW in 2000. In 2011, Germany and Italy accounted for over half the global cumulative capacity, followed by Japan, Spain, the United States and China.
In its SunShot strategy the US Department of Energy predicts that when the price of solar electricity reaches about $0.06 per kilowatt-hour over its lifetime, it will be cost-competitive with other non-renewable forms of electricity. This in turn will enable solar-generated power to grow.
The drive to reduce costs encompasses the entire value chain from the efficiency of individual cells to manufacturing costs as well as complimentary technologies such as energy storage and effective planning.
Black and dye
One approach is to develop cells that can convert a greater percentage of the sun's spectrum. Around a quarter of the spectrum is made up of infrared radiation, which cannot be converted by standard solar cells. One way to overcome this loss is to use black silicon, a material that absorbs nearly all of the sunlight that hits it, including infrared radiation, and converts it into electricity. Researchers have recently succeeded in doubling their overall efficiency.
"Black silicon is produced by irradiating standard silicon with femtosecond laser pulses under a sulphur-containing atmosphere," says Dr Stefan Kontermann of the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI). "This structures the surface and integrates sulphur atoms into the silicon lattice, making the treated material appear black." If manufacturers were to equip their solar cells with black silicon, it would significantly boost the cells' efficiency.
By using black silicon, Dr Kontermann and his team at HHI have now managed to double the efficiency of black silicon solar cells. "We achieved that by modifying the shape of the laser pulse we use to irradiate the silicon, enabling us to solve a key problem of black silicon," says Dr Kontermann. In normal silicon, infrared light does not have enough energy to excite the electrons into the conduction band and convert them into electricity, but the sulphur incorporated in black silicon forms a kind of intermediate level.
"You can compare this to climbing a wall," Dr Kontermann adds. "The first time you fail because the wall is too high, but the second time you succeed in two steps by using an intermediate level. However, in sulphur this not only enables electrons to climb the wall, it also works in reverse, enabling electrons from the conduction band to jump back via this intermediate level, which causes electricity to be lost once again.
"By modifying the laser pulse that drives the sulphur atoms into the atomic lattice, researchers can change the positions that these atoms adopt in the lattice and change the height of their levels - in other words, their energy level. We used the laser pulses to alter the embedded sulphur in order to maximise the number of electrons that can climb up while minimising the number that can go back down."
The researchers have already successfully built prototypes of black silicon solar cells and their next step will be to try and merge these cells with commercial technology.
An even more radical approach to delivering solar power would be to dispense with the costly and fragile semiconductor solar panel that uses crystalline silicon. Researchers at the University of Turku believe that they can do this by using flexible, lightweight and inexpensive dyes.
"It is hoped that dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) can become a ubiquitous source of energy without the complex and expensive clean-room manufacturing processes associated with current solar panels," Jongyun Moon, researcher at the University of Turku, says.
In a DSC, sunlight hits a layer of the white pigment titanium dioxide, the solar energy absorbed then sucks electrons from dye molecules in a layer beneath this coating, thus generating a flow of electrons and producing a current.
However, Moon suggests that despite the maturity of the silicon technology DSCs could ultimately displace it simply because they are easier and cheaper to manufacture. That said, current DSCs are less efficient than silicon devices and much development work is needed.
Anti-ageing solar
It is not just the high cost of a solar module that is of concern, but also its longevity. Given the high cost of solar power installations it is critical that the modules last as long as possible. Fraunhofer researchers in the US are developing materials to protect solar cells from environmental influences to extend their lives.
Silicone is a promising protective material. It is neither inorganic crystal nor organic polymer, but is related to both. While PV modules have been encapsulated with silicones, until now they were not widely used for laminating solar modules. Lamination is a protective coating that surrounds the fragile silicon wafer. Today, most manufacturers of PV cells use ethylene-vinyl acetate.
To test its properties researchers coated PV cells with liquid silicone. "When the silicone hardens, it encases the cells; the electronic components thus have optimal protection," Rafal Mickiewicz, project manager, explains.
Prototypes were constructed from the silicone-laminated cells, and tested in a climate chamber at low temperatures and under cyclic loads. Afterwards the module performance was tested with a light flasher.
A comparison of the results with those of conventional solar modules proved that silicone-encased PV modules are more resistant to cyclic loading of the type modules experience in strong winds, in particular at -40°C, giving hope that their useful working life could be extended.
Material concerns
When it comes to utility-scale solar power one of the prime technologies is concentrating solar power. CSP is being widely commercialised and the market has seen about 740MW of generating capacity added between 2007 and the end of 2010.
CSP is expected to grow fast. As of April 2011, another 946MW of capacity was under construction in Spain with total new capacity of 1,789MW expected to be in operation by the end of 2013. A further 1.5GW of parabolic-trough and power-tower plants were under construction in the US, and contracts signed for at least another 6.2GW. Interest is also notable in North Africa and the Middle East, as well as India and China. The global market has been dominated by parabolic-trough plants, which account for 90'per cent of CSP plants.
Unlike some other forms of solar power CSP is largely unrestricted by materials availability. There are, however, some issues that the industry needs to look into soon, like replacing silver in mirrors. In the wake of Chinese export restrictions on rare earth metals, the dependence of some renewable technologies on scarce materials has gained attention. Several players in the PV industry are struggling to get away from excessive use of restricted elements.
A study from Chalmers University of Technology has gone into the details on material issues for CSP, which does indeed seem to be largely unrestricted, viewing the material requirements compared with global reserves. In theory, enough solar plants could be built to cover five times the current global electricity demand.
However, the report also highlights some issues that are likely to pose challenges. Silver, used for reflecting surfaces, will be in short supply in the coming decades even without demand from a booming CSP industry. CSP mirror manufacturers might have to look at other reflective surface materials, such as aluminium, to secure cost competitiveness.
"The prospects for strong growth for CSP over the next few decades seem good, but would cause a stir on the global commodity markets," Dr Erik Pihl of Chalmers University of Technology says.
Solar planning
When it comes to planning a commercial-scale PV plant there are numerous variables to consider including customer specifications, regulations, government subsidy programmes in addition to weather, climate, topography and location. These factors in turn influence the selection and placement of the individual components which include the PV arrays with their solar modules, inverters and wiring, not to mention access roads. Until now, engineers have designed solar power plants using CAD programs, with every layout separately generated.
Fraunhofer researchers, working with Siemens Energy Photovoltaics, have developed software to aid the process. "Our algorithms provide engineers with several hundred different plant designs in a single operation," ITWM researcher Dr Ingmar Schule explains. "It takes less than a minute of computation time. The only user inputs are parameters such as the topography of the construction site and the module and inverter types that will be used. The user can also change a number of parameters to study the impact on the quality of the planning result."
To evaluate the designed PV power plants, an income calculation is performed that includes a simulation of the weather, the course of the sun throughout the year and the physical module performance including shading effects. With the results of this computation and an estimate of the investment and operating costs, the planning tool can come up with a figure for the LCOE (levelised cost of energy). By comparing the plant with a large number of similar configurations, the planners can investigate the sensitivity of the various parameters to find the right solution.
Solar storage
If solar power is to reach its potential then one piece of the renewable puzzle that needs to be solved is energy storage. With cost-effective storage the fluctuating supply of electricity based on photovoltaics can be stored until the time of consumption. At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), several pilot plants of solar cells, small wind-power plants, lithium-ion batteries, and power electronics are under construction to demonstrate how load peaks in the grid can be balanced and what regenerative power supply by an isolated network may look like in the future.
"High-performance batteries on the basis of lithium ions can already be applied reasonably in the grid today," Dr Andreas Gutsch, coordinator of the Competence E project, explains. As stationary storage systems, they can store solar or wind power until it is retrieved by the grid. "When applied correctly, batteries can also balance higher load and production peaks and, hence, make sense from an economic point of view."
Apart from the battery, the key component of the stationary energy storage system is an adapted power electronics unit that allows the battery to be charged or discharged within two hours. This means that the system can be applied as interim storage for peak load balancing. During times of weak loads, solar energy and wind electricity are fed into the battery. At times of peak load, the energy from the photovoltaics system, wind generator, and battery is fed into the grid.
In spite of the high costs of lithium-ion batteries, this technology may be worthwhile today already, in particular in regions that do not have any stable grids. However, there are projects underway to reduce the cost of the batteries including a joint research project between the University of Southampton and lithium battery technology company REAPsystems.
"Lead acid batteries are used for most photovoltaic systems," MSc Sustainable Energy Technologies student Yue Wu says. "However, as an energy storage device, lithium batteries, especially the LiFePO4 batteries we used, have more favourable characteristics."
Data was collected by connecting a lithium-ion phosphate battery to a photovoltaic system attached to one of the University's buildings, using a specifically designed battery management system.
"The research showed that the lithium battery has an energy efficiency of 95 per cent whereas the lead-acid batteries commonly used today only have around 80 per cent," Wu says. "The weight of the lithium batteries is lower and they have a longer lifespan than the lead-acid batteries, reaching up to 1,600 charge/discharge cycles, meaning they would need to be replaced less frequently."
Although the battery will require further testing before being put into commercial photovoltaic systems the research has shown that the LiFePO4 battery has the potential to improve the efficiency of solar power systems and help to reduce the costs of both their installation and upkeep.
Low-cost production
When it comes to economics of solar power it is not just the efficiency of the cells but their manufacturing cost. Asian manufacturers are frequently ahead of the competition in terms of price, which has led to continued research into lowering the manufacturing cost by Western companies.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST in Braunschweig are designing new coating processes and thin-layer systems that, if used, could help to reduce the price of solar cells significantly.
The photovoltaic industry is pinning its hopes particularly on high-efficiency solar cells. These heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer cells consisting of a crystalline silicon absorber with additional thin layers of silicon. Until now, manufacturers used the plasma chemical vapour deposition process to apply these layers to the substrate.
In this methodology the reaction chamber is filled with silane, and with the crystalline silicon substrate. Plasma activates the gas, thus breaking apart the silicon-hydrogen bonds. The free silicon atoms and the silicon-hydrogen residues settle on the surface of the substrate. But the plasma only activates 10 to 15 per cent of the expensive silane gas; the remaining 85 to 90 per cent are lost, unused. This involves enormous costs.
The researchers at IST have now replaced this process and activate the gas by hot wires. "This way, we can use almost all of the silane gas, so we recover 85 to 90 per cent of the costly gas," Dr Lothar Schafer, department head at IST, explains. "This reduces the overall manufacturing costs of the layers by over 50 per cent. The price of the wire that we need for this process is negligible when compared to the price of the silane."
