A Software Tool for Optimal Sizing of PV Systems in Malaysia by Tamer Khatib, Azah Mohamed, K. Sopian

“…As for PV system sizing, iterative methods are used for determining the optimal sizing of three types of PV systems, which are standalone PV system, hybrid PV/wind system and hybrid PV/diesel generator system. The loss of load probability (LLP) technique is used for optimization in which the energy sources capacities are the variables to be optimized considering very low LLP. …”

High-rate quantum LDPC codes for long-range-connected neutral atom registers by Laura Pecorari, Sven Jandura, Gavin K. Brennen, Guido Pupillo

“…By means of circuit-level simulations, we find that these codes outperform surface codes in all respects when the two-qubit nearest neighbour gate error probability is below  ~ 0.1%. By using multiple laser colors, we show how these codes can be natively integrated in two-dimensional static neutral atom qubit architectures with open boundaries, where the desired long-range connectivity can be targeted via the Rydberg blockade interaction.…”

A Trajectory Prediction Method for Reentry Glide Vehicles via Adaptive Cost Function by Yangchao He, Jiong Li, Lei Shao, Chijun Zhou, Xiangwei Bu

“…Finally, long-term trajectory prediction of vehicles is achieved using Bayesian theory to infer the attack intent and parametric model with the maximum a posteriori probability. The results of the simulations demonstrate that the proposed prediction method is capable of accurately inferring the vehicle’s attack intention and parameter model, and of effectively reducing the accumulation of prediction errors and the time required for the algorithmic process compared to existing methods.…”
