Dust accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic modules decreases the transmittance and produces power losses and consequently daily energy losses. These losses are important in large photovoltaic power plants, mainly in arid areas. The company Asahi Kasei Corporation has developed a new...

Probabilistic methods are presented to solve one-dimensional nonlinear reaction–diffusion equations. Computational particles are used to approximate the spatial derivative of the solution. The random walk principle is used to model the diffusion term. We investigate the effect of replacing...
