Cityscapes provide a complex environment, where solar radiation is unevenly distributed,
especially since urban features started to propagate more and more vertically. Due to the …

The energy transition is increasingly being discussed and implemented to cope with the
growing environmental crisis. However, great challenges remain for effectively harvesting …

Aiming at the trajectory optimization of the solar-powered UAVs (SUAVs) cooperative target
tracking in urban environment, the distributed model predictive control (DMPC) method …

The increasing demand for clean energy and the global shift towards renewable sources
necessitate reliable solar radiation forecasting for the effective integration of solar energy …

The solar energy potential of urban buildings is important for China's sustainable economic
