Modeling and optimization of photovoltaic systems under partially shaded and rapidly changing conditions by Jiang, Lian Lian

“…This thesis focuses on maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques for PV systems under partial shading and rapidly changing irradiance conditions. However, during the initial investigation of this topic, we realized that parameter extraction and modeling of the photovoltaic (PV) cell/module/array were fundamental to our analysis and simulation of MPPT systems. …”

Live projects: innovating in the present by Mitchell, Maurice, Tang, Bo

“…Attempting to define what a live project actually is in this situation has required a lot of self-searching by architectural educators. Whilst it is an accepted condition of mainstream practice that timescale, budget and brief are matched with intention and design before works starts on site, it is not at all clear that such a definitive bounding of the project is in the students’ best interest in a learning environment. …”
