TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method of modeling and simulation of photovoltaic arrays by adjusting the curve at three points: open circuit, maximum power, and short circuit.
Abstract: This paper proposes a method of modeling and simulation of photovoltaic arrays. The main objective is to find the parameters of the nonlinear I-V equation by adjusting the curve at three points: open circuit, maximum power, and short circuit. Given these three points, which are provided by all commercial array data sheets, the method finds the best I-V equation for the single-diode photovoltaic (PV) model including the effect of the series and parallel resistances, and warranties that the maximum power of the model matches with the maximum power of the real array. With the parameters of the adjusted I-V equation, one can build a PV circuit model with any circuit simulator by using basic math blocks. The modeling method and the proposed circuit model are useful for power electronics designers who need a simple, fast, accurate, and easy-to-use modeling method for using in simulations of PV systems. In the first pages, the reader will find a tutorial on PV devices and will understand the parameters that compose the single-diode PV model. The modeling method is then introduced and presented in details. The model is validated with experimental data of commercial PV arrays.

TL;DR: This work discusses the essential problem of random background charge and present possible solutions of SIMON, a single electron tunnel device and circuit simulator that is based on a Monte Carlo method.
Abstract: SIMON is a single electron tunnel device and circuit simulator that is based on a Monte Carlo method. It allows transient and stationary simulation of arbitrary circuits consisting of tunnel junctions, capacitors, and voltage sources of three kinds: constant, piecewise linearly time dependent, and voltage controlled. Cotunneling can be simulated either with a plain Monte Carlo method or with a combination of the Monte Carlo and master equation approach. A graphic user interface allows the quick and easy design of circuits with single-electron tunnel devices. Furthermore, as an example of the usage of SIMON, we discuss the essential problem of random background charge and present possible solutions.

TL;DR: A general, sampled-data representation of the dynamics of arbitrary power electronic circuits is proposed, to unify existing approaches and lead, via compact and powerful notation, to disciplined modeling and straightforward derivation of small-signal models for perturbations about a nominal cyclic steady state.
Abstract: A general, sampled-data representation of the dynamics of arbitrary power electronic circuits is proposed, to unify existing approaches· It leads, via compact and powerful notation, to disciplined modeling and straightforward derivation of small-signal models for perturbations about a nominal cyclic steady state. Its usefulness is further illustrated by considering the representation and analysis of a class of symmetries in circuit operation. Results of application of this methodology to modeling the small-signal dynamics of a series resonant converter are described. The results correlate well with simulation results obtained on MIT's Parity Simulator. What is of more significance to the theme of this paper is the fact that the small-signal model is obtained in a completely routine way, starting from a general formulation and working down to the actual circuit; this contrasts with the circuit-specific analyses that are more typical of the power electronics literature. The paper also discusses the automatability of the above procedure, pointing out that the key ingredients for automatic generation of dynamic models from a circuit specification are now available.
