Analytic computation of the photocurrent density in a n-6H-SiC/p-Si/n-Si/p-Si0.8Ge0.2 multilayer solar cell

In this work we conceived a model of a multilayer solar cell composed by four layers of opposite conductivities: an n-type 6H-SiC used as a frontal layer to absorb high energy photons (energy gap equals 2.9 eV), a p-type Si layer, an n-type Si layer and a p-type SiGe back layer to absorb low energy photons (Si_0.8Ge_0.2 with an energy gap equal to 0.8 eV). The impurity concentration in every layer of the model is taken equal to 10¹⁷ cm⁻³ to ensure abrupt junctions inside the cell. The optical properties of the separate layers have been fitted and tabulated to be used for thin films devices numerical simulation. We developed the equations giving the minority carrier concentration and the photocurrent density in each abscissa of the model. We used Matlab software to simulate and optimize the layers thicknesses to achieve the maximum photocurrent generated under AM0 solar spectrum. The results of simulation showed that the optimized structure could deliver, assuming 10⁵ cm/s surface recombination velocity, a photocurrent density of more than 53 mA/cm², which represents 88.3% of the ideal photocurrent (59.99 mA/cm²) that can be generated under AM0 solar spectrum.     

Using memory and fuzzy rules in a co-operative multi-thread strategy for optimization

In this article, we analyze a co-operative multi-thread search-based optimization strategy, where each solver thread represents a different optimization algorithm (or the same one with different settings), and they are all controlled by a centralized co-ordinator. We also propose the use of memory to keep track of both the state of the individual threads and the obtained solutions. Based on this memory, a very simple fuzzy rule base is used to control the system behavior.We also present the results of three computational experiments. The first of these checks the strategy by comparing it with an independent search strategy and a sequential algorithm, and the superiority of the co-operative scheme is confirmed. The second analyzes how definition of the threads affects the quality of the results, and the importance of there being a balanced set between intensification and diversification is corroborated. The third explores the use of memory with two different fuzzy rules, and the results indicate that the best combination is to use memory together with two rules (solver dependent and solver independent ones) (although this combination should not be activated at the beginning of the search in order to avoid premature convergence).

Tuning fuzzy power-system stabilizers in multi-machine systems by global optimization algorithms based on efficient domain partitions

In this paper, the problem of global tuning of fuzzy power-system stabilizers (FPSSs) present in a multi-machine power system in order to damp the power system oscillations is considered. In particular, it is formulated as a problem of global minimization of a multiextremal black-box function over a multidimensional hyperinterval. A global optimization technique, recently proposed, is used for solving the stated problem: the search hyperinterval is partitioned into smaller hyperintervals and the objective function is evaluated only at two vertices corresponding to the main diagonal of the generated hyperintervals, thus avoiding unnecessary ponderous simulations. Then, the performances of this technique are numerically compared with ones of a genetic algorithm (GA).     

Reward optimization of a repairable system

This paper analyzes a system subject to repairable and non-repairable failures. Non-repairable failures lead to replacement of the system. Repairable failures, first lead to repair but they lead to replacement after a fixed number of repairs. Operating and repair times follow phase type distributions (PH-distributions) and the pattern of the operating times is modelled by a geometric process. In this context, the problem is to find the optimal number of repairs, which maximizes the long-run average reward per unit time. To this end, the optimal number is determined and it is obtained by efficient numerical procedures.     

QD-Janus: A sequential implementation of Janus in Prolog

Janus is a language designed for distributed constraint programming. This paper describes QD-Janus, a sequential implementation of Janus in Prolog. The compiler uses a number of novel analyses and optimizations to improve the performance of the system. The choice of Prolog as the target language for a compiler, although unusual, is motivated by the following: (i) the semantic gap between Janus and Prolog is much smaller than that between Janus and, say, C or machine language—this simplifies the compilation process significantly, and makes it possible to develop a system with reasonable performance fairly quickly; (ii) recent progress in Prolog implementation techniques, and the development of Prolog systems whose speeds are comparable to those of imperative languages, indicates that the translation to Prolog need not entail a significant performance loss compared to native code compilers; and (iii) compilation to Prolog can benefit immediately from a significant body of work on, and implementations of, parallel Prolog systems. Our experience indicates that translation of logic programming languages to Prolog, accompanied by the development of good program analysis and optimization tools, is an effective way to quickly develop flexible and portable implementations with good performance and low cost.     

Linear periodically time-varying discrete-time systems: Aliasing and LTI approximations

Linear periodically time-varying (LPTV) systems are abundant in control and signal processing; examples include multirate sampled-data control systems and multirate filter-bank systems. In this paper, several ways are proposed to quantify aliasing effect in discrete-time LPTV systems; these are associated with optimal time-invariant approximations of LPTV systems using operator norms.
