Crop-aligned Agrivoltaic Design for Semi-arid and Mediterranean Türkiye: Simulated PPFD Suitability Under A- and V-Shaped Bifacial PV Layouts

Agrivoltaic (AgriPV) systems enable the co-production of food and electricity, but effective design requires matching crop-specific light requirements to local climate and structural configuration. This study evaluated how PV structural typology and cover ratio jointly shape unde...

AI‐Based Regional Emulation for Kilometer‐Scale Dynamical Downscaling

Abstract An AI‐based Limited‐Area Model (LAM) is developed for dynamical downscaling over the Southern Great Plains and the southeastern United States, with strong generalization abilities under diverse boundary conditions. The model is trained using 0.25, 3‐hourly ERA5 as forcin...
