Novel Lyapunov-based rapid and ripple-free MPPT using a robust model reference adaptive controller for solar PV system

The technological, economic, and environmental benefits of photovoltaic (PV) systems have led to their widespread adoption in recent years as a source of electricity generation. However, precisely identifying a PV system''s maximum power point (MPP) under normal and shaded weather conditions is crucial to conserving the maximum generated power. One of the biggest concerns with a PV system is the existence of partial shading, which produces multiple peaks in the P–V characteristic curve. In these circumstances, classical maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approaches are prone to getting stuck on local peaks and failing to follow the global maximum power point (GMPP). To overcome such obstacles, a new Lyapunov-based Robust Model Reference Adaptive Controller (LRMRAC) is designed and implemented to reach GMPP rapidly and ripple-free. The proposed controller also achieves MPP accurately under slow, abrupt and rapid changes in radiation, temperature and load profile. Simulation and OPAL-RT real-time simulators in various scenarios are performed to verify the superiority of the proposed approach over the other state-of-the-art methods, i.e., ANFIS, INC, VSPO, and P&O. MPP and GMPP are accomplished in less than 3.8 ms and 10 ms, respectively. Based on the results presented, the LRMRAC controller appears to be a promising technique for MPPT in a PV system.     

Maximum Power Extraction Control Algorithm for Hybrid Renewable Energy System

In this research, a modified fractional order proportional integral derivate (FOPID) control method is proposed for the photovoltaic (PV) and thermoelectric generator (TEG) combined hybrid renewable energy system. The faster tracking and steady-state output are aimed at the suggested maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control technique. The derivative order number (µ) value in the improved FOPID (also known as PI^λD^µ) control structure will be dynamically updated utilizing the value of change in PV array voltage output. During the transient, the value of µ is changeable; it’s one at the start and after reaching the maximum power point (MPP), allowing for strong tracking characteristics. TEG will use the freely available waste thermal energy created surrounding the PV array for additional power generation, increasing the system’s energy conversion efficiency. A high-gain DC-DC converter circuit is included in the system to maintain a high amplitude DC input voltage to the inverter circuit. The proposed approach’s performance was investigated using an extensive MATLAB software simulation and validated by comparing findings with the perturbation and observation (P&O) type MPPT control method. The study results demonstrate that the FOPID controller-based MPPT control outperforms the P&O method in harvesting the maximum power achievable from the PV-TEG hybrid source. There is also a better control action and a faster response.

Driving business performance: innovation complementarities and persistence patterns

Complementarities between technological and non-technological innovation are crucial determinants of firm performance. Although innovation complementarity has been extensively tested in the empirical literature, it has not been analysed in conjunction with innovation persistence. This fact is mainly due to the lack of data sets able to provide adequate longitudinal information. The capacities to develop market-oriented behaviour and introduce new organisational innovations, together with technological innovation, are the drivers of a firm’s productivity and profitability. We find that these activities complement technological innovation and that their impact is greater when they persist over time, thus introducing a more general concept of innovation persistence. We present an empirical model based on a large new panel of Italian manufacturing firms covering the period 2000–2012 which enables us to determine the precise impacts of a firm’s innovative attitude, in a broad definition that incorporates non-technological innovation and persistence, on its productivity and profitability.     

基于FFT-OMP-DAMAS波束形成方法的汽车前围板隔声薄弱部位识别

为实现汽车前围板隔声薄弱部位的准确识别,文章提出了基于快速傅里叶变换(Fast Fourier Transform,FFT)和正交匹配追踪(Orthogonal Matching Pursuit,OMP)的反卷积(Deconvolution Approach for the Mapping of Acoustic Sourc‐es,DAMAS)波束形成方法(FFT-OMP-DAMAS)。该方法基于声源稀疏分布假设,利用正交匹配追踪思想求解反卷积问题,并进一步结合傅里叶变换和点扩散函数空间转移不变假设降低计算维度。在混响室-消声室内,分别利用延迟求和方法,DAMAS方法和FFT-OMP-DAMAS方法进行了某汽车前围板隔声薄弱部位识别试验,结果表明：FFTOMP-DAMAS方法能够有效抑制旁瓣和伪源,有效缩减主瓣宽度,从而准确识别汽车前围板隔声薄弱部位,且相较于传统的DAMAS方法,文中提出的FFT-OMP-DAMAS方法能获得更清晰的成像结果,计算效率有了明显提高。     

Systematically mapping innovations in electricity using startups: A comprehensive database analysis

Technology innovation is recognized as one of the main enablers of sustainable development and the transition towards a low-carbon future. Anticipating innovation trajectories could help decision-makers develop new capabilities to take advantage of incremental and disruptive innovations. This paper maps the current innovation that is taking place in the electricity sector using a bottom-up approach by analyzing the value proposition pursued by startups worldwide.We compiled a database of 320 startups whose focus is the electricity sector. We classified these startups according to their business propositions in the context of megatrends disrupting the electricity sector. From analyzing this dataset, we find the following. Photovoltaic generation (PV) is the primary technology for decarbonization. Innovation within PV focuses on developing more resistant materials, panels that are easier to install, or maintain. These innovations do not need an updated regulatory-market structure of the industry to be deployed. Digitalization is the key disruptive/breakthrough innovation. It has the potential to reshape businesses and the regulatory-market structure. Storage technologies can be very disruptive for the power sector, but the innovation we observe in storage technology is incremental. This includes batteries that last longer, that charge in shorter periods of time, or that use other less expensive raw materials, or more energy density –more kilowatt-hours per kilogram.
