This can ensure secure system operation when dealing with bidirectional power flows, diminishing reserves and an increased number of active grid components. Today’s synchrophasor applications provide a lot of additional information about the dynamic system behavior but without significant improvement of the system operation due to the lack of interpretable and condensed results as well as missing integration into existing decision-making processes. This study presents a holistic framework for novel machine learning based applications analyzing both historical as well as online synchrophasor data streams. Different methods from dimension reduction, anomaly detection as well as time series classification are used to automatically detect disturbances combined with a web-based online visualization tool. This enables automated decision-making processes ...

We find that the thermal SiO 2 layer thickness strongly impacts the passivation quality and interface parameters of the stacks. Capacitancevoltage measurements reveal that for Al 2 O 3 and SiN x capping layers, an increased thermal SiO 2 film thickness suppresses charge formation at the interface between SiO 2 and the capping layer. Interface trap density and effective carrier lifetime data suggest that a certain thermal SiO 2 thickness is required to achieve appropriate chemical passivation. The combination of a thin thermal SiO 2 layer (∼4 nm) and a PECVD-SiO x capping results in very low surface recombination velocities of a few centimeters per second, measured on p-type 1-Ω•cm float-zone silicon after contact firing and postmetallization annealing. The experimentally observed dependence of the surface recombination velocity on the fixed charge density, gate voltage, and injection density is reproduced very accurately by analytical calculations that use the measured interface trap density and total charge density at the Si/insulator interface. The model also includes additional recombination in the space charge region of inverted surfaces. Index Terms-Dielectric films, interface states, photovoltaic cells, SiO 2. I. INTRODUCTION C URRENTLY, different approaches for the realization of rear-surface-passivated silicon solar cells with local contacts are evaluated. These approaches use dielectric layers or stack systems applied by atomic layer deposition (ALD), plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) sput-Manuscript
