Modeling the electrical properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) can fill the gap between the experimental and ideal performance observations for a reliable device diagnosis, design and optimization. The complex physical and chemical reactions between nanocrystalline semiconductor, electrolyte ions and dye molecules make their simulation an open issue to the researchers. Compared to the research works presented in literature, here, we provide a simpler, but more meaningful fit of current voltage curves by developing a simulation model. The present work provides a reliable framework to extract electrical transport properties of the device, namely, diffusion coefficient, transport time, diffusion length, series resistance and performance parameters from steady state current voltage curves without using interpretable frequency dependent methods, as well as transient characteristics. The model versatility makes it also capable of predicting the dye regeneration efficiency under short circuit, mid-voltages and high voltage ranges. The simulation method can be also implemented to compare the effect of different electrolytes as well as their species concentrations on regeneration efficiency and overall DSSCs performance. The whole model is designed in a flexible framework to be adapted to various kind of solar cells such as quantum dot and perovskite solar cells. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

An artificial neural network estimator design for the inferential model predictive control of an industrial multi-component distillation column
Bahar, Almila; Özgen, Canan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003)
An inferential control methodology, that utilizes an artificial neural network (ANN) estimator for a model predictive controller, is developed for an industrial multi-component distillation column. In the column, propane and butane is separated from a mixture of propane, n-butane, i-butane, and i-pentane with a top product purity of 96% propane and a bottom product purity of 63% n- butane. Dual composition control of the column must be used in a multivariable model predictive controller for an efficient ope...
A Transformation Media Based Approach for Efficient Monte Carlo Analysis of Scattering From Rough Surfaces With Objects
Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2013-03-01)
This paper presents a computational model that utilizes transformation-based metamaterials to enhance the performance of numerical modeling methods for achieving the statistical characterization of two-dimensional electromagnetic scattering from objects on or above one-dimensional rough sea surfaces. Monte Carlo simulation of the rough surface scattering problem by means of differential equation-based finite methods (such as finite element or finite difference methods) usually places a heavy burden on compu...
An improved method for inference of piecewise linear systems by detecting jumps using derivative estimation
Selcuk, A. M.; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01)
Inference of dynamical systems using piecewise linear models is a promising active research area. Most of the investigations in this field have been stimulated by the research in functional genomics. In this article we study the inference problem in piecewise linear systems. We propose first identifying the state transitions by detecting the jumps of the derivative estimates, then finding the guard conditions of the state transitions (thresholds) from the values of the state variables at the state transitio...
An investigation of the neural correlates of purchase behavior through fNIRS
Çakır, Murat Perit; Girisken, Yener; Yurdakul, Dicle (2018-01-01)
Purpose This study aims to explore the plausibility of the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) methodology for neuromarketing applications and develop a neurophysiologically-informed model of purchasing behavior based on fNIRS measurements.
A development tool for design and analysis of MEMS based EM energy scavengers
Turkyilmaz, Serol; Külah, Haluk; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2010-12-01)
This paper presents a development tool for estimating the performance of an electromagnetic (EM) vibration-to-electrical MEMS energy scavenger for low power mobile computing and wireless sensor applications. The tool takes design and excitation parameters as input, and estimates output voltage waveforms and power levels. It has been correlated against validation data, and used for early evaluation and design of new MEMS modules, which could not be optimized using off-the-shelf design packages. The tool was ...
