DESCRIPTION:Agrivoltaics—the concept of placing solar photovoltaic panels
  over cropland—is considered a potential solution to the competing land 
 demands of food and energy production. In this talk\, I will discuss how d
 ynamic photovoltaic panels can be adjusted to maximize power generation wh
 ile also considering the sunlight needs of the crops. An optimal dual-axis
  photovoltaic panel formulation is proposed that adjusts the panel positio
 n to maximize power generation subject to crop requirements. The approach 
 is demonstrated in a case study with two alternative scenarios: one that m
 aximizes solar power generation and another that exclusively focuses on cr
 op cultivation without photovoltaic panels. The last part of the talk will
  focus on how optimizing the operation of an agrivoltaic system allows us 
 to better understand agrivoltaic systems as a resource connected to the po
 wer grid.\n\nThis presentation will count for 1 Professional Development H

X-ALT-DESC:Description: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Agrivoltaics&amp;mdash\;the concept of placing
  solar photovoltaic panels over cropland&amp;mdash\;is considered a potential 
 solution to the competing land demands of food and energy production. In t
 his talk\, I will discuss how dynamic photovoltaic panels can be adjusted 
 to maximize power generation while also considering the sunlight needs of 
 the crops. An optimal dual-axis photovoltaic panel formulation is proposed
  that adjusts the panel position to maximize power generation subject to c
 rop requirements. The approach is demonstrated in a case study with two al
 ternative scenarios: one that maximizes solar power generation and another
  that exclusively focuses on crop cultivation without photovoltaic panels.
  The last part of the talk will focus on how optimizing the operation of a
 n agrivoltaic system allows us to better understand agrivoltaic systems as
  a resource connected to the power grid.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;This presentation will co
