• Solar Energy Conversion (SEC) Cluster [46]

• Net energy analysis of domestic solar water heating installations in operation 

  Hernandez, Patxi ; Kenny, Paul (Elsevier, 2012-01)

  The potential of solar water heating systems to reduce domestic energy use is frequently acknowledged. However there are two factors that are rarely discussed when studying this technology. Firstly the real performance ...
• Water pricing in Ireland: A techno-economic and political assessment 

  Zhao, Y.Q. ; Crosbie, Dara (Taylor & Francis, 2012-04-13)

  Ireland is one of a very small number of countries in the world which do not charge for domestic drinking water supply. Recent developments have indicated that the reintroduction of domestic charges in Ireland is being ...
• Developing Geothermal Energy Research Capabilities at University College Dublin 

  Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Geothermal Association of Ireland, 2011)

  Ireland has one of the highest energy dependencies in Europe and as such must adapt quickly to increase renewable energy exploitation levels in order to secure its energy future. A mix of renewable energy technology types ...
• Dye sensitised solar cells with nickel oxide photocathodes prepared via scalable microwave sintering 

  Gibson, Elizabeth A. ; Awais, Muhammad ; Dini, Danilo ; Dowling, Denis P. ; Pryce, Mary T. ; Vos, Johannes G. ; Boschloo, Gerrit ; Hagfeldt, Anders (RSC Publishing, 2012-12-06)

  Photoactive NiO electrodes for cathodic dye-sensitised solar cells (p-DSCs) have been prepared with thicknesses ranging between 0.4 and 3.0 mm by spray-depositing pre-formed NiO nanoparticles on fluorine-doped tin oxide ...
• Geothermal energy : settlement and water chemistry in Cork, Ireland 

  Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Institution of Engineers, 2011-07)

  Detailed analysis of potential water chemistry and settlement issues associated with the installation of open-loop geothermal systems is infrequently carried out. This has led to the failure of several previously installed ...
• Conversion of amorphous TiO2 coatings into their crystalline form using a novel microwave plasma treatment 

  Dang, Binh H.Q. ; Rahman, Mahfujur ; MacElroy, J. M. Don ; Dowling, Denis P. (Elsevier, 2011-07-25)

  Crystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) coatings have been widely used in photo-electrochemical solar cell applications. In this study, TiO2 and carbon-doped TiO2 coatings were deposited onto unheated titanium and silicon wafer ...
• Numerical and finite element analysis of heat transfer in a closed loop geothermal system 

  Hemmingway, Phil ; Tolooiyan, Ali (Taylor & Francis, 2013)

  Analysis of the thermal regime created by a geothermal borehole heat exchanger is performed using a closed form radial heat flow equation, a geothermal borehole heat exchanger design tool and a finite element model. ...
• Activation of hematite nanorod arrays for photoelectrochemical water splitting 

  Morrish, Rachel ; Rahman, Mahfujur ; MacElroy, J. M. Don ; Wolden, Colin Andrew (Wiley, 2011-04-18)

  Hematite nanorod arrays were activated through proper control of annealing conditions. The 100-fold improvement in photocurrent was correlated with increased absorption and Sn doping from the tin oxide coated glass ...
• Characterising dye-sensitized solar cells 

  Tobin, Laura L. ; O'Reilly, Thomas ; Zerulla, Dominic ; Sheridan, John T. (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2009-08-03)

  With growing energy and environmental concerns due to fossil fuel depletion and global warming there is an increasing attention being attracted by alternative and/or renewable sources of power such as biomass, hydropower, ...
