An Improved MPPT Algorithm for PV Generation Applications Based on P-U Curve Reconstitution by Yaoqiang Wang, Meiling Zhang, Xian Cheng

“…Therefore, a maximum power point (MPP) tracking (MPPT) algorithm is essential for the photovoltaic generation system. However, the P-U curve changes dynamically with the variation of the environmental factors; here, the misjudgment may occur if a simple perturb-and-observe (P&O) MPPT algorithm is used. …”

Terahertz wave propagation and channel characterization by Haofan YI, Ke GUAN, Danping HE, Bo AI, Zhengrong LAI, Zhangdui ZHONG

“…Firstly, the different characteristics of terahertz waves compared to lower frequency bands were summarized, including the influence of meteorological factors and rough surfaces of materials on THz waves.Next, it was proposed to use ray-tracing (RT) technology to calibrate the three-dimensional (3D) environment model and electromagnetic parameters of materials in the target scenarios through very limited channel measurement data.Then, the reversed parameters were utilized to perform in a similar but more general scenario, instead of a large amount of channel measurement data.Finally, the channel characteristics were analyzed by extraction of the channel key parameters, such as path loss, shadow fading, Rician K-factor, delay spread, angular spread, and doppler parameters in a mobile scenario.Representing two ends of 6G THz use cases from indoor scenario to outdoor scenario, case studies were made for wireless connections on a desktop and vehicular communications, respectively.As for the outdoor scenario, the influences of meteorological factors were additionally considered.The work is of great significance for the design and evaluation of the THz communication system.…”

Secure data sharing scheme supporting efficient synchronous evolution for ciphertext and key by Xincheng YAN, Yue CHEN, Hongyong JIA, Yanru CHEN, Xinyue ZHANG

“…The static property of stored ciphertext in cloud increases the probability that an attacker can crack the ciphertext by obtaining a key,while ciphertext and key updates based on key distribution and re-encryption are excessively expensive.For this problem,a secure data sharing scheme supporting efficient synchronous evolution for ciphertext and key (CKSE-SDS) was proposed.By introducing cryptography accumulator in broadcast encryption,mimicry transformation factor could be constructed supporting time-hopping periodically and efficient synchronous evolution for ciphertext and key could be achieved based on dynamic segmentation and fusion of ciphertext and key,which reduced certainty in the process of encryption and key distribution and increased the difficulty for attackers exploiting security vulnerabilities to obtain key to crack ciphertext as well.Theoretical analysis and security proofs show that the proposed scheme can support secure and efficient data access as well as reduce the probability of a successful attack effectively for an attacker,which can also enhance the system’s active security defense capability.…”
