Integration of a photovoltaic device on nonconductive surfaces using thermal spray Coatings.

Dr. Yamina Mebouda Lahmar

Center for Development of Advanced Technologies (CDTA), Algiers, Algeria

The supply of electricity is a key-requisite for all modern societies; its production has to be efficient and environmental friendly. Scenarios within the next 30 years [1] project that the development of renewable energy sources will increase significantly; renewable electricity generation meets incremental demand growth [1]. Which makes it essential to curry out development of materials and processing to improve efficiencies and performance of energy generation systems. Thermal spray coatings have high potential use for energy systems such as boilers, components of gas turbines and steam power plants, fusion reactors, solid oxide fuel cells, thermoelectric devices and other devices for the capture of renewable energy. The use this technology in renewable energy applications is of great interest, mainly due to their cost-benefit aspect and their flexibility. This coating technology is potentially industry-scalable. In this context, thermal spray technology was introduced in PV cell conception aiming to integrate photovoltaic device on nonconductive surfaces particularly on wood surface. A conductive layer is created on the wood surface, which can be used as a back electrode for a solar cell. The experimental work was combined to a numerical study predicting the characterizations of different types of PV devices.

Biography

Dr. Yamina MEBDOUA-LAHMAR is working as a director of research, head of the thermal spraying technology platform at the Center for Development of Advanced Technologies (CDTA) in Algiers, Algeria and a member of the Scientific Council (CS) of this establishment.

Completed Magister of astrophysics from Saad DAHLAB University -Blida, Algeria. Awarded with Ph.D in Ceramic Processing and Surfaces Treatments in 2008 from Limoges University-France, followed by a university habilitation (HDR) from Saad DAHLAB University-Blida. She possesses several years of experience in research activity in the field of plasmas and thermal spraying at the CDTA. She trained a research team on thermal spraying and set up a technological platform for thermal spraying processes. She also headed a research division on ionized media and lasers (DMIL) at the CDTA during three years.

Her research activities have been organized into research projects whose involved members are multidisciplinary including students. She has led several research projects: on the design of a microwave plasma reactor for surface treatment application, on the applications of thermal spraying in surface treatment and on the development of thermal barrier coatings on industrial parts. She has numerous publications on these processes but also on transversal subjects through PhD supervision.
