In the case of standalone houses, ensuring a continuous and regulated power supply from renewable sources is crucial. To address their unpredictable nature, an environmentally conscious hybrid renewable energy system combining photovoltaic panels, a battery, and a Diesel generator is considered. A software application simulates the power flow in a standalone house with common AC loads, analysing summer and winter scenarios over 24 hours. The strategy employed provides an optimal energy management by using the Diesel generator only during peak demand when PV is available and to cover loads and maintain battery life when PV is not in operation. The simulation results provide valuable insights for designing such hybrid energy systems and for enhancing system responsiveness to dynamic energy demands.

A lateral Josephson junction in which the surface of a three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI) serves as the weak link should support topologically protected excitations related to Majorana fermions. The resulting 4π-periodic current-phase relationship could be detected under high-frequency excitation by the suppression of odd Shapiro steps. Here, we demonstrate such devices through the self-formation of a Pd-Te superconducting layer from a telluride TI and observe suppressed first and third Shapiro steps. Other devices, including those where the Pd-Te layer is bolstered by an additional Al layer, show no suppression of Shapiro steps, a difference supported by simulations. Though we rule out the known trivial causes of suppressed Shapiro steps in our devices, we nevertheless argue that corroborating measurements and disorder-aware theoretical descriptions of these systems are needed before confidently claiming the observation of Majorana states.
We achieve complex band degeneracy in a photonic crystal structure over a region of momentum space, which gives rise to polarization-independent transmission. The degeneracy manifests as a topological singularity in t...

We report a scheme for programming microresonator-based spectral pulse shapers and demonstrate it with a six-channel, sub-GHz linewidth, silicon photonic spectral shaper to generate arbitrary waveforms from optical lines of a 3 GHz electro-optic comb Optical pulse shaping is a useful technique involving the manipulation of the relative amplitudes and phases of spectral slices from a broadband optical spectrum in order to shape the waveform in the time domain. Extensive research over the past couple decades has resulted in robust shaper systems utilizing bulk free space optical setups with components like diffraction gratings, lenses, and liquid crystal on silicon spatial light modulators [1]. While these setups are well-suited for femtosecond, high repetition rate waveform synthesis, they can be excessively large and incur a significant penalty in terms of optical loss when assembled to achieve fine spectral resolutions (order of GHz) necessary for low repetition rate waveforms. There has been a recent desire for fine spectral resolution pulse shaping in, for example, generating picosecond waveforms with a low repetition rate for the quantum control of electronic transitions within molecular ions or atoms [2, 3], or as the driving source for superconductor-based waveform synthesizers [4], and in spectral quantum information processing [5]. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) offer a low size, weight, and power (SWaP) chip-scale platform for pulse shaping. To this end, the arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) device has been extensively researched. However, the AWG requires long optical paths to be operated at a fine-resolution, resulting in a large footprint (∼ cm× cm) and significant optical loss and phase errors, especially for high-index contrast platforms like silicon-on-insulator (SOI) [6]. A comparatively smaller number of integrated shaper designs have implemented microresonator-based spectral dispersers [7, 8];microresonators benefit from a small footprint, reson
