Robust model-free DC-bus voltage regulation for stand-alone solar-powered electric vehicle charging stations with experimental laboratory verification

This paper proposed an ultra-local model free control (ULM) strategy for robust DC bus voltage regulation in a stand-alone solar powered electric vehicle charging station. In this study, the system under consideration consists of a photovoltaic (PV) generator interfaced via a max...

Advanced numerical modeling of perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) solar cells using SCAPS-1D optimizing layer architecture for enhanced efficiency

This study compares conventional ITO/ZnO/MAPbI3/NiO/Au and ETL-free ITO/MAPbI3/NiO/Au solar cells using a revised SCAPS-1D model incorporating consistent material parameters, explicit bulk and interface defects, and carrier-selective contacts. The baseline model was benchmarked a...
