That is mildly interesting but both articles abound with the terms "models", "mathematical" and "theoretical". And both site practical considerations that make "perfect" voltage and current sources impractical.
AND.....NONE of that has an application in explaining the difference between a vehicles alternator and a photo-voltaic panel.....since both must create voltage to make a current flow in a load that is attached, as do most things above 0 K.
And I'm still not sure what the term "the dual of" means in this context.
