"Optimal control of solar-powered electric bus networks with improved r" by Haoshan Ren, Zhenjun Ma et al.
Developing solar-powered electric bus networks in high-density cities can greatly mitigate their increasing energy and environmental challenges such as carbon emission, street-level air pollution, and renewable penetration to the power grid. However, such solar-powered electric bus networks face a charging control issue that is caused by the severe and frequent mismatch between PV power generation and bus charging demand. Without proper consideration of this mismatch, renewable energy generation cannot be effectively utilized, and heavy grid dependence (i.e., energy exports/imports to/from pow...
