Configuration of marine photovoltaic system and its MPPT using model predictive control

Due to the worldwide energy crisis and environmental issues, the so-called green ship is recently urgent to be developed for energy-saving and emission-reduction. When a photovoltaic (PV) system is installed on a ship, solar generation can provide auxiliary energy as backup of engine. However, different from the land-based PV system with fixed position, the marine PV system always suffers from complex and frequently-changed environmental...
