Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 4th IEEE International Symposium on Computer, Consumer and Control, 2018 (IS3C 2018), will be held 6–8 December, 2018, in Taichung City, Taiwan, and is organized by IEEE and the National Chin-Yi University of Technology, and is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. Details of this conference can be found on the website, http://is3c2018.ncuteecs.org/. This conference offers a great opportunity for scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present the latest research results, ideas, developments, and applications, as well as to facilitate interactions between scholars and practitioners. As suggested by the name of the conference, the theme of this conference covers computer, consumer electronics, renewable energy, systems and control, and digital signal processing. Original high-quality papers related to this theme are especially solicited, including theories, methodologies, and applications in computing, consumer and control for electronics. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected papers will be recommended to Electronics for Special Issue publication.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

A resonant tunneling electronic circuit (RTEC) with high and multiple peak-to-valley current density ratios (PVCDRs) exhibited in the negative differential resistance (NDR) curve has been proposed in this research. The PVCDR values in simulating research and experimental research of double PVCDR RTEC were respectively reached as high as 1.79 and 22 in average, which were obtained using the designed single PVCDR RTECs structure. Also, the peak current density (PCD) values of the last NDR in the double PVCDR RTEC structure in the simulation and experiment were respectively 1.85 A and 42 µA. Triple NDR characteristics also had been obtained with the PCD values reaching as high as 2.9 A and 46 µA, respectively, in simulating and experimental researches. The PVCDR values of triple NDR characteristic were respectively 1.5 and 4.6 in the simulation and experiment. Full article

This study proposes a binary search-based fault detection system for photovoltaic (PV) modules to ameliorate the deficiencies in the existing fault detectors for PV module arrays. The proposed system applies a single-chip microcontroller to execute the binary search algorithm. Moreover, to overcome multi-node voltage detection and reduce the number of integrated circuit components, an analog switch is used to perform detection channel switching; the detection results are displayed on a software platform developed using Visual C#. The proposed system does not require learning to execute the fault diagnosis of PV module arrays and has advantages including high accuracy and low construction costs. Finally, to verify the feasibility of the proposed system, this study simulated the abnormal situations of actual modules and applied the binary search algorithm for maximum power point tracking to detect malfunctions of the PV module arrays.
