Dynamic Reconfiguration to Optimize Energy Production on Moving Photovoltaic Panels

Sustainability, 2023
Urban transport systems play a major role in the development of today’s societies, but they require technological changes to reduce their environmental impact. The problem lies in their level of autonomy, which is why electrical energy production systems are proposed for self-consumption, efficiently feeding their accumulators.
