However, these techniques may not always be easy to implement in industrial applications. The main challenge of this paper is to model and implement the P & O (perturb and observe) algorithm in a low-cost PV-powered pumping system. To that end, a comparative investigation of the performance characteristics of the most popular MPPT methods, such as FOCV (fractional open circuit voltage), FSCC (fractional short circuit current), FLC (fuzzy logic control), ANN (artificial neural network) and INC (incremental conductance) is presented. This analysis is helpful to highlight the relevance of the P & O technique taking better account of complexity, difficulty of implementation and cost considerations in water pumping applications. The targeted PV-powered pumping system is based on a single-phase induction motor supplied by a three-phase inverter controlled by the DTC (direct torque control) technique. This stand-alone PV system is dedicated to water pumping, especially in rural areas that have no access to national grids but have sufficient amount of solar radiation. Simulation modeling (Matlab/Simulink) and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the relevance of the system.展开更多

It is shown that if an N-D Hamiltonian is pseudo Hermitian and anyeigenfunction of it retains π_αT symmetry then the corresponding eigen value is real, where π_αis an exchange operator with respect to the permutation a of coordinates and T is the time reversaloperator. We construct a special class of N-D pseudo Hermitian Hamiltonians with respect to exchangeoperators from both N/2-D and N-D general complex Hamiltonians. Examples are presented forHamiltonians with πT symmetry (π : x reversible y, p_x reversible p_y) and the reality of thesesystems are investigated.展开更多

The fabricated Pt-Bi OBr/TNTAs were fully characterized, and the photocatalytic(PC) activity and stability of PtBiOBr/TNTAs toward degradation of methyl orange(MO) under visible-light irradiation(λ>400 nm) were evaluated. The results reveal that multiple heterostructures of Pt/TiO2, Pt/BiOBr and BiOBr/TiO2 are constructed among TNTAs substrate, Pt NPs and BiOBr NFs, and the hybrid Pt-BiOBr/TNTAs catalyst exhibits remarkable visible-light PC activity, favourable reusability and long-term stability. The combined effect of several factors may contribute to the remarkable PC performance, including strong visible-light absorption by both Pt NPs and BiOBr NFs, lower recombination rate of photo-generated electrons and holes attributed to the multiple heterojunction, microstructures for facile light injection and adsorption as well as efficient mass transport, and larger specific surface area for enhancing light absorption, increasing the effective contact area between the absorbed dye molecules and catalyst and benefiting the molecule transport of reactants or products.展开更多

The novelty is that the weight w here satisfies the classical Muckenhoupt condition only on balls with their radii in (0, 1]. Finite atomic decompositions for smooth functions in Fs,w p,q(Rn) are also obtained, which further implies that a (sub)linear operator that maps smooth atoms of Fs,w p,q(Rn) uniformly into a bounded set of a (quasi-)Banach space is extended to a bounded operator on the whole Fs,w p,q(Rn) As an application, the baundedness of the local Riesz operator on the space Fs,w p,q(Rn) is obtained.展开更多
