Abstract: This paper proposes a new analysis method for photovoltaic (PV) modules. The main objectives are to obtain the resistance parameters of PV modules by adjusting I-V equation and voltage equation of diode and to find the relationship between resistance parameters and power. Firstly, values of serial resistance and parallel resistance at maximum power point are concluded. Secondly, the c...

The design of an interface unit is described, in which RS232 serial data is converted to latched parallel data on 22 independent lines. The data direction of each line is programmable through the serial port. Two picocontrollers are employed in a parallel processing mode to give the required number of I/O pins, and data on the shared serial line is coded to separate data streams to the individu...

This article introduces a highly parallel algorithm for molecular dynamics simulations with short-range forces on single node multi- and many-core systems. The algorithm is designed to achieve high parallel speedups for strongly inhomogeneous systems like nanodevices or nanostructured materials. In the proposed scheme the calculation of the forces and the generation of neighbor lists are divide...

This paper proposes an MPC - based (model predictive control) scheme to control active and reactive powers of DERs (distributed energy resources) in a grid - connected mode (either through a bus with its associated loads as a PCC (point of common coupling) or an MG (micro - grid)). DER may be a DG (distributed generation) or an ESS (energy storage system). In the proposed scheme, the set - poin...

This paper proposes a Genetic Algorithm for the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP). Resources are renewable and there is a unique way to perform the activities. This work employs Genetics Algorithms to schedule project activities to minimize makespan subject to precedence constraints and resources availability. A serial generation scheme is used to obtain the schedule. The ...

We present a memory efficient low density parity check (LDPC) decoder that implements a modified Sum Product Algorithm (SPA). A memory efficient implementation for the Min-Sum algorithm is also presented. Serial and scalable partly parallel architectures with both parallel flooding schedule and serial message passing schedule are presented for the regular SPA, modified SPA and Min-Sum algorithm...

Modern cryptocurrency systems, such as Ethereum, permit complex financial transactions through scripts called smart contracts. These smart contracts are executed many, many times, always without real concurrency. First, all smart contracts are serially executed by miners before appending them to the blockchain. Later, those contracts are serially re-executed by validators to verify that the sma...

—MAC (medium access control) protocol plays an important role in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) due to limited bandwidth and battery. MAC protocol that provides Priority-based quality of service (QoS) which satisfies various traffic transmission requirement will form the base of highperformance network application. This paper presents a new priority-based parallel schedule polling MAC protoco...

We consider the control of large-scale transportation networks, like road traffic networks, power distribution networks, water distribution networks, etc. Control of these networks is often not possible from a single point by a single intelligent control agent; instead control has to be performed using multiple intelligent agents. We consider multi-agent control schemes in which each agent empl...
