Performance Monitoring of Photovoltaic Modules Using Machine‐Learning‐Based Solutions: A Survey of Current Trends

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract presents the concept of applying machine‐learning algorithms to assess the performance of photovoltaic modules. Data from solar panels are fed to surrogates of intelligent models, to assess the following performance metrics: identifying faults, quantifying energy production and trend degradation over time. The combination of data

Application of High‐Order Direct Flux Reconstruction and Stiffness‐Resilient Time Integration to Simulations of Idealized Atmospheric Flows

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
The proposed work implements a direct flux reconstruction method for spatial discretization and a stiffness‐resilient exponential time integration method for temporal discretization on the cube‐sphere grid. A space‐time tensor formalism is employed to provide a general representation in any curvilinear coordinate system. This combination enables highly
