This paper proposes a new current voltage (I-V) modeling approach for photovoltaic arrays based on time warp invariant echo state network (TWIESN). I-V characteristic model of a PV array is not only nonlinear and implicit, but also strictly dependent on material types, manufacturing process, ageing and environmental influence. Therefore, in this paper, TWIESN method is proposed to predict I-V characteristic curves of a PV array at any operating conditions, including partially shading conditions. I-V characteristic curves can be quickly obtained by only reading load voltage sequence, irradiation and temperature of each solar cell of the PV array without solving any nonlinear implicit equations that are necessary in conventional methods. The modeling approach based on TWIESN, obtained by using real operating data information of PV arrays, can really describe the dependency of solar cell on the dynamic variations of environment and cell parameters. Therefore, the method in this paper can accurately predict I-V characteristic for the PV array in operation, from different manufacturers, and of different material types. In addition, compared with conventional numerical methods, the time-consuming of the TWIESN model is very low. To verify the proposed TWIESN model, a KC200GT module and a KC200GT array are tested under different shading conditions. The comparison between the proposed model and the model based on back propagation (BP) network is made. Experiment results show the proposed TWIESN model is a simple, accurate, robust and effective model for PV modules and PV arrays at any operating conditions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Machine learning-aided discovery of bismuth-based transition metal oxide double perovskites for solar cell applications
Siddharth Sradhasagar, Omkar Subhasish Khuntia, Srikanta Biswal, Sougat Purohit, Amritendu Roy
Summary: In this study, machine learning models were developed to predict the bandgap and its character of double perovskite materials, with LGBMRegressor and XGBClassifier models identified as the best predictors. These models were further employed to predict the bandgap of novel bismuth-based transition metal oxide double perovskites, showing high accuracy, especially in the range of 1.2-1.8 eV.

An accurate prediction of electronic structure, mechanical stability and optical response of BaCuF3 fluoroperovskite for solar cell application
Mubashar Ali, Zunaira Bibi, M. W. Younis, Muhammad Mubashir, Muqaddas Iqbal, Muhammad Usman Ali, Muhammad Asif Iqbal
Summary: This study investigates the structural, mechanical, and optoelectronic properties of the BaCuF3 fluoroperovskite using the first-principles modelling approach. The stability and characteristics of different cubic structures of BaCuF3 are evaluated, and the alpha-BaCuF3 and beta-BaCuF3 compounds are found to be mechanically stable with favorable optical properties for solar cells and high-frequency UV applications.

Summary: A novel recycling system is proposed in this study to decompose and reclaim the constituent materials of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs). By utilizing a one-step solution process extraction approach, the chemical composition of each layer is successfully preserved, enabling their potential reuse. The proposed recycling technique helps mitigate pollution risks, minimize waste generation, and reduce recycling costs.
