    Abstract: The energy efficiency of gas-burned boilers in space heating systems is sensitive to how the boiler is controlled. This study is aimed to investigate how the overall energy performance of a heating system can be optimized using best boiler control scheme. This is to be achieved through experimental studies and simulation studies. This paper present... Show More

    Abstract: Advantages of near-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes with polarization-matched InGaN/AlGaInN multi-quantum wells (QWs) are investigated numerically. Simulation results show that, the polarization-matched structure possesses improved efficiency droop and higher output power under high current injection due to better overlap of electron-hole wave fun...
