Abstract: In the Northern Hemisphere, south is the conventional azimuth direction of fixed-tilt monofacial solar panels, because this orientation may maximize the received light energy. How does the morning-afternoon cloudiness asymmetry affect the energy-maximizing azimuth direction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tcst.2020.3047229
Abstract: Linear dynamics are virtually always assumed when designing optimal controllers for wave energy converters (WECs), motivated by both their simplicity and computational convenience. Nevertheless, unlike traditional tracking control applications, the assumptions under which the linearization… read more here.
