A Comparative Study of Storage Batteries for Electrical Energy Produced by Photovoltaic Panels by Petru Livinti

“…The work involved the construction of a model in MATLAB-Simulink for controlling the loading/unloading of storage batteries with energy produced by photovoltaic panels through a buck-type DC-DC convertor, controlled by means of the MPPT algorithm implemented through the method of incremental conductance based on a MATLAB function. The program for the MATLAB function was developed by the author in the C++ programming environment. …”

Podichetty, Jackson Burton, Stephan Schmidt, Klaus Romero, Inish O'Doherty, Frank Martin, Martha Campbell‐Thompson, Michael J. Haller, Mark A. Atkinson, Sarah Kim

“…We then applied trial‐specific inclusion/exclusion criteria, sample sizes in treatment and placebo arms, trial duration, assessment interval, and dropout rate. We implemented a function for presumed drug effects. To increase the size of the population pool, we generated virtual populations using multivariate normal distribution and ctree machine learning algorithms. …”
