A novel passive strategy to overcome the inconveniences of possible failure or underperformance components a household scale photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed. The developed methodology based on network reliability and determines optimal array topology be implemented under certain constraints through maximization merit function that considers three different aspects: total power structure pr...

Many factors influence structural reliability in practice engineering. Some can be measured to obtain lots of data, but others are difficult acquire statistical data. In view this situation, a new analysis method is proposed using chance theory, which composed probability theory and uncertainty reflect random cognitive simultaneously. The performance function mechanical element defined, when it...
