The PEMER configuration comprised of an anode and cathode based on nanoparticulate Ni and Pt electrocatalysts, respectively, supported on carbonaceous substrates.
Key to the operation of this PV-electrolyzer is a novel electrode configuration comprised of mesh flow-through electrodes that are coated with catalyst on only one side.
Furthermore, by fitting an empirical model based on experimentally obtained data, we demonstrate that a configuration comprised of a series of short electrodes and operated at low flow rates can achieve higher current and power outputs.
This cost estimated is based on an operational configuration comprised of eight CFSTRs, a system dilution rate (Ds) of 0.640 d−1, and 400 W metal halide lamps positioned at an elevation of 38.1 cm over the culture.
It is shown that in a given reactor and for a given productivity and pressure drop, a reactor configuration comprised of two sections, either containing catalyst pellets of different shapes or held at different operating temperatures, can increase the yield by up to 10 wt% over the traditional fixed-bed reactor configuration.
The simulation results suggest an optimal wall configuration comprised of a 5 cm layer of insulating strawboard sandwiched between a 2 cm × 10 cm wall made of masonry units consisting of Hempcrete (mixture of Portland cement, aggregates, and industrial hemp fibers) for the living zone, whereas the wall for the bedroom zone consists of a 10 cm of Hempcrete.

A 2-DOF controller configuration comprises of a serial compensator and a feed-forward compensator in a closed loop structure.
The proposed impedance protection circuit configuration comprises of a parallel R-L impedance crowbar and a series R-L impedance circuit.
Tandem configurations are comprised of two or more cells and are designed to absorb the entire range of the solar light by the successive cells.
