The event will take place from September 26 to 30 and will be attended by the world's leading experts and authorities on the subject
Research into performance degradation due to the PID effect for different solar module topologies and photovoltaic cell technologies will take BYD Energy employees to the World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-8), the world's largest platform for photovoltaic research and development, which begins on the 26th in Milan, Italy.
Initially, the research was sent to the organizers of the world conference and submitted for consideration by an organizing committee. After analysis, the material was approved and will be presented at the international event in poster format. Subsequently, the research will be published as an editorial article in scientific publications.
The result was surprising. "The papers must meet the requirements of the congress, both in terms of compliance and formatting. And, essentially, the impact and relevance on the scientific scene. When I received the acceptance, it was a feeling of pride," says Harison Franca, Research and Development Analyst at BYD's photovoltaic modules division and one of the participants in the research.
"This is a good indication that the research and development investments made by BYD in recent years have been carried out assertively and the work has been done very well," adds Harison.
Rodrigo Garcia, another participant in the research and research and development (R&D) manager at BYD Energy, highlights the team's dedication. "We're happy, especially for the contribution the company is going to make at an international event. This gives us the confidence to understand that we are on the right track and that Brazilian engineering is capable of collaborating with scientific progress on a global scale."
Also contributing to the work were Hugo Alvarez, from BYD Energy's R&D team, and Mendelsson Rainer, a master's student at Unicamp, an institution with which the company has had an agreement since 2017 through the Program to Support the Technological Development of the Semiconductor Industry (PADIS).
The program planned for the World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-8) is divided into five main themes, covering topics ranging from silicon cells, evolving and emerging technologies and assemblies; modules; to the engineering and applications of photovoltaic systems.
It also includes the energy transition, which covers the wide range of multidisciplinary efforts needed to ensure the rapid deployment of photovoltaic technologies on a massive and global scale as a key element of the ecological transition. The event offers a unique opportunity for international exchange, with the participation of experts from all over the world.
