Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
This paper presents a suitable algorithm for modeling photovoltaic fields operating under mismatching conditions. It is based on the detailed non-linear model (including series and parallel resistors) of all PV modules composing the PV field. The main advantage is in the possibility to express each PV module voltage as an explicit function of the current by using the Lambert-W function, thus the PV field is analyzed string-by-string and one equation is constructed by equalizing the string voltage with the voltages of all active modules and the blocking diode. Then the field current is calculated by adding the currents of all strings for a same string voltage. The computational burden and accuracy of the proposed algorithm was tested experimentally and compared with previous approach proposed in literature. A string of 4 PV panels has been used as test bench and the maximum power has been evaluated by considering and by neglecting the series and parallel resistors in the PV models. The power and current relative mean errors between the experimental and estimated values were 1.80 % (0.57 W) and 4.23 % (1.02 W), respectively, demonstrating that the relative error in the estimation of the maximum power can be improved by almost 50% adopting the complete PV model. © 2012 IEEE.
