Modeling energy collection with shortest paths in rectangular grids: an efficient algorithm for energy harvesting
José-Miguel DÃaz-Bañez, José-Manuel Higes-López, Miguel-Angel Pérez-Cutiño +1
Parabolic Trough solar fields are among the most prominent methods for harnessing solar energy. However, continuous sun-tracking movements leads to wear and degradation of the trac…
Optimal covering of rectangular grid graphs with tours of constrained length
Sergey Bereg, Jesús Capitán, José-Miguel DÃaz-Bañez +4
Given a rectangular grid graph with a special vertex at a corner called base station, we study the problem of covering the vertices of the entire graph with tours that start and en…
Optimal energy collection with rotational movements constraints in concentrated solar power plants
J. M. DÃaz-Bañez, J. M. Higes-López, M. A. Pérez-Cutiño +1
In Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants based on Parabolic Trough Collectors (PTC), the Sun is tracked at discrete time intervals, with each interval representing a movement of th…
