Summary: Renewable energy sources have made a significant contribution to global energy demand, but their intermittent nature can cause sustainability and efficiency issues. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have emerged as an alternative system with longer lifespan, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. However, their performance depends on operating conditions, requiring instant and proper control for maximizing efficiency and lifespan. This study utilizes a whale optimization algorithm (WOA)-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller for a PEMFC system, showing accurate and fast MPPT performance, reduced power fluctuations, and increased production efficiency.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.
