TY - JOUR AU - Gupta, Shahidul AU - Haque, Jun TI - Modelling Thin-Film Solar Cell Efficiency with Ant Colony Optimisation JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 2011 VL - 35 IS - 1 SP - 691 EP - 725 AB - The scarcity of resources in developing countries makes the optimisation of thin-film solar cell efficiency particularly relevant to satellite communication links. The design procedure incorporates ant colony optimisation to handle uncertainty in the input data. The optimised design lowers energy consumption by approximately 14%. Further work is recommended to extend the analysis to a wider range of operating conditions.
