A Mesh Downsampling Algorithm for Equivalent Circuit Network Simulation of Multi-Junction Solar Cells

A Mesh Downsampling Algorithm for Equivalent Circuit Network Simulation of Multi-Junction Solar Cells

Equivalent circuit network simulation is widely used in modeling solar cells in three dimensions. However, the computational time and numerical instability increases dramatically when the number of circuit element increases. This problem is exacerbated by increasing the number of junctions in the so...
