RETRACTION NOTICE: Implementation of an improved scheme for grid interactive photovoltaic system through 48 V DC appliances

At the request of the Journal Editor and SAGE Publishing, the following article has been retracted:

Aslam Z, Shahid H, Mehmood Z, and Muhmmad K. Implementation of an improved scheme for grid interactive photovoltaic system through 48 V DC appliances. Energy & Environment 2018: 29:6 957–967. DOI: 10.1177/0958305X18763403

Following investigation into this article, it has been determined that the article above shares significant overlap with another previously published article by three of the four authors:

Aslam Z, Shahid H and Mahmood Z. Modelling and analysis of an improved scheme for a 340 kWp grid interactive PV system in Pakistan to enhance performance ratio and battery life. International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering 2018: 9:2 187–199. DOI 10.1007/s40095-018-0261-0

The Energy & Environment article also shares unreferenced overlap with the below publication:

Garbesi K, Vossos V and Shen H. Catalog of DC Appliances and Power Systems. Berkeley, CA: October 2011. http://efficiency.lbl.gov/sites/all/files/catalog_of_dc_appliances_and_power_systems_lbnl-5364e.pdf
