Guide for Solar Tracking System

Zusatztext

This book is all about helping scholars, technicians and engineering on solutions to solar tracking and sun following technology principles for solar collecting and solar harvesting systems. In this book Photo voltaic power pack based single axis solar tracking system is analysed under different conditions. The overall solar tracking system consists of a mechanism that enables the PV panels to follow or track the sun. The mechanical structure consists of one servo motor that drives the mechanism, LDR sensors for measuring light intensity and a programmable microcontroller responsible for giving electric signals to the motors in accordance to the sun angle in order to achieve solar tracking (keeping the PV panel perpendicular to the sunlight). The feedback control system operation is based on servo mechanism principles and the controller is responsible for the solar tracker motion. The controller coding and servo mechanism is simulated in PROTEOUS 7.
