Parallel Workshops PEARL PV

This is a placeholder for 3 days of parallel workshops of Cost Action PEARL PV which will be held either fully online or in a hybrid format, so to not disadvantage groups/individuals who cannot travel, from 22 till 24 September 2021. In case of a hybrid event, participants can attend online or in-person on a location, which will be selected – before the end of August – on the basis of the best conditions for event hosting and travel under the rapidly changing Covid-19 situation in Europe.

We cordially invite you to submit an abstract on your latest achievements in photovoltaic (PV) system research, development, and applications, according to the Call for Abstracts: Cost Action PEARL PV CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Workshops 22to24072021

Abstract submission instructions

To have your work considered for presentation at the annual workshop of PEARL PV, please submit the following:

1. An evaluation abstract (3 pages maximum, for review, including graphs and figures with results, the evaluation abstract is not meant for posting) and
2. A short abstract of no more than 300 words in length for display on the PEARL PV website.
3. Please include your name, affiliation, email address and names of all co-authors!
4. Mention the Working Group(s) of PEARL PV to which your abstract relates.
5. Please indicate whether you like to present in-person or online.

Please follow the suggested format; evaluation abstracts are expected to be detailed enough to allow a thorough review for programming purposes.
The deadline for submission of the abstracts is 31 August, 2021 at midnight CET. Abstract submission is via email addressed to Ms. Saskia Groenendijk at s.m.groenendijk@utwente.nl

Workshop topics

This year’s call includes several cross cutting themes that span across the 5 Working Groups of PEARL PV, please indicate in the header or footer of your abstract to which WG(s) your work relates.

• WG1: PV monitoring
• WG2: Reliability and durability of PV
• WG3: PV simulation
• WG4: PV in the built environment
• WG5: PV in grids

Publication in a scientific journal

We are also continuing the option of offering authors who submit particularly high quality abstracts an opportunity to directly submit a manuscript to MDPI journal Applied Sciences[1] (Impact Factor 3.0). This path allows authors to bring their high quality research to the PEARL PV community as well as publishing their work in a high impact journal. Please mention on top of your abstract “Review for journal publication” if you are interested in this opportunity.

On behalf of the whole PEARL PV community we look forward to welcoming and meeting with you at our event.
