This paper proposes a penalty based differential evolution (P-DE) for extracting the parameters of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules at different environmental conditions. The two diode model of a solar cell is used as the basis for the extraction problem. The analyses carried out using synthetic...

Bioenergy is a new source of energy that accounts for a substantial portion of the renewable energy production in many countries. The production of bioenergy is expected to increase due to its unique advantages, such as no harmful emissions and abundance. Supply-related problems are the main...

Blockchain and cryptocurrency are gradually going mainstream with new cryptocurrencies introduced every single day. The speculative nature of these digital assets expose their prices to large fluctuations. Trading these crypto-assets necessitate an adequate understanding of this emerging market...

The paper contains an extensive experimental study which focuses on a major idea on Target Optimization (TO) prior to the training process of artificial machines. Generally, during training process of an artificial machine, output is computed from two important parameters i.e. input and target....

Developing economies need to invest in energy projects. Because the gestation period of the electric projects is high, it is of paramount importance to accurately forecast the energy requirements. In the present paper, the future energy demand of the state of Tamil Nadu in India, is forecasted...

Colorization of grayscale image is a process to convert a grayscale image into a color one. Few research works reported in literature on this but there is hardly any generalized method that successfully colorizes all types of grayscale image. This study proposes a novel grayscale image...
