Photovoltaic (PV) energy is the most important energy resource since it is clean, pollution free, and inexhaustible. Due to rapid growth in the semiconductor and power electronics techniques, it is important to operate PV energy conversion systems near the maximum power point to increase the output efficiency of PV arrays. The output power of PV arrays is always changing with weather conditions...

The power extracted from PV arrays is usually maximized using maximum power point tracking algorithms. One of the most widely used techniques is the perturb & observe algorithm, which periodically perturbs the operating point of the PV array, sometime with an adaptive perturbation step, and compares the PV power before and after the perturbation. This paper analyses the most suitable perturbati...

We review the various methods which have been employed recently to describe the thermodynamics of the high temperature quark-gluon plasma using weak coupling techniques, and we compare their results with those of most recent lattice gauge calculations. Many of the difficulties encountered with perturbation theory at finite temperature are in fact not specific to QCD but are present in any field...

Objectives: To check and compare the effectiveness of modified agility and perturbation training over conventional physical therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: Subjects were screened on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and a total of 50 subjects were recruited for the study. They were randomly divided into Group A and group B with n=25 each. Results: Group ...

This paper relates the singular perturbation approximation technique for model reduction to the direct truncation technique if the system model to be reduced is stable, minimal, and internally balanced. It shows that these two methods constitute two fully compatible model reduction techniques for a continuous-time system, and both methods yield a stable, minimal, and internally balanced reduced...

In this paper we develop computational techniques with enhanced accuracy for two frequency-weighted model reduction approaches, namely, balanced truncation, and singular perturbation approximation. New stability-enforcing choices of the frequency-weighted grammians can guarantee the stability of reduced models for two-sided frequency weights. Several numerical examples show the effectiveness of...

A. Noor et al. [7] analyze a technique by combining the variational iteration method and the homotopy perturbation method which is called the variational homotopy perturbation method (VHPM) for solving higher dimensional initial boundary value problems. In this paper, we consider the VHPM to obtain exact solution to Gas Dynamics equation.
