Relationship between Aspalathus linearis (Burm. F.) R. Dahlgren (rooibos) growth and soil moisture in a glasshouse and in the DSSAT-CSM crop model by Adaramola, Rhoda Fiyinfoluwa

“…The objectives of the study were: 1) to determine the effect of soil moisture on growth and evapotranspiration in rooibos under glasshouse conditions, 2) to adapt the CROPGRO model in DSSAT to simulate the shoot biomass yield of rooibos, using the rooibos CROPGRO model, 3) to investigate the effect of rooibos growth on soil moisture, and 4) to determine the effect of different levels of mulching and irrigation on rooibos yield and soil moisture. …”

Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Approaches for the MPPT Control of Standalone Solar PV Systems by Nwachukwu, Sampson

“…The MPPT system's performances were tested and assessed under constant irradiance, varying irradiance, and PSCs. The simulation results showed that the P&O and the DRL algorithms can extract over 99% of power from solar PV at various static and varying irradiance levels. …”
