AB Urban transport systems play a major role in the development of today’s societies, but theyrequire technological changes to reduce their environmental impact. The problem lies in their level ofautonomy, which is why electrical energy production systems are proposed for self-consumption,efficiently feeding their accumulators. As the energy provided by photovoltaic installations has lowerrecharge speeds, conventional systems with high transfer amperage and higher voltage are required.For this reason, solar installations are used for additional services and to support their autonomy.The present work tries to find the best solution for both constant voltage and peak current systems.Once found, these solutions will be applied in real time for the dynamic recharging of battery packs,trying to achieve vehicles that are progressively more energetically autonomous. To solve thesesituations, a new computational method for calculating voltage and amperage has been developed inthis work, based on Dijkstra’s minimum path search algorithm on graph theory, adapted to electricalcircuits. Once this algorithm has been established, the panel performance analysis sensors, developedat the University of Malaga, are combined with different electronic solutions described in this article(Wi-Fi relay devices using esp8266 chips or feeding these relays through panels and establishing thevoltage drop to switch the connection), achieving precise and sufficiently fast solutions at very lowcost. Both series and parallel transitions are possible, depending on the type of energy generationrequired. The theoretical solutions using Minkowski paths, analyzed in the past, have been simulatedand subsequently constructed in this paper, indicating the diagrams necessary for their realization.
