The integration of fuzzy sets and statistics: toward strict falsification in the social sciences

Heylen, Ben; Nachtegael, Mike - In: Quality & Quantity: International Journal of Methodology 47 (2013) 6, pp. 3185-3200

Whilst statistics take up a prominent place in the social science research toolkit, some old problems that have been associated there with have not been fully resolved. These problems include bias through the inclusion of irrelevant variation and the exclusion of relevant variation, which may...

New MPPT method for stand-alone photovoltaic systems operating under partially shaded conditions

Bouilouta, A.; Mellit, A.; Kalogirou, S.A. - In: Energy 55 (2013) C, pp. 1172-1185

A new method to track the global maximum power point (GMPP) under partially shaded conditions (PSCs), for stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems, is introduced. Two loads, static and dynamic, have been used to evaluate the effectiveness of the method under different PSCs. Simulation results show...
