Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory& Mitigation Study for Karnataka- Publications

Adoption of energy efficient measures would result in reduced demand for energy and thus lower emissions.

An explicit J–V model of a solar cell for simple fill factor calculation- Publications

The J–V equation of a solar cell is implicit and requires iterative calculation to determine the fill factor and the maximum power point.

Analytical derivation of equivalent functional form of explicit J-V model of an illuminated solar cell from physics based implicit model- Publications

Recently a simple explicit model was introduced to represent the J–V characteristics of an illuminated solar cell with parasitic resistances and bias dependent photocurrent as j = (1 − vm)/(1 + αv), here the normalized voltage, v and normalized current density j can be represented as v = V/Voc and j = J/Jsc respectively, whereVoc is the open circuit voltage and Jsc is the short circuit current density.
