Automatic Orientation of Photovoltaic Solar Panels for Monitoring the Seasonal Movement of the Sun Using Intelligent Control
Two-Axis Solar Tracker, Photovoltaic Power Generation, Arduino Embedded Control, Logic Fuzzy.
The solar trackers, in addition to supporting the solar panels, follow the movement of the sun throughout the day and try to keep the plane of the perpendicular panel to the sun rays, thus increasing the performance of the solar panel. This work presents a proposal for an automatic solar tracking system with two x and y axis based on an Arduino Uno microcontroller programmed in fuzzy language with the objective of evaluate the improvement in solar conversion efficiency. The solar tracking system two axis is built with hardware and software implementations. The proposed tracking system development uses a new solar montage position structure with adaptives. A comparative analysis will be carried out using two systems, i.e. tracking dual axis drive and stationary module. To achieve the objectives, we will develop a two-axis tracker which will be implemented with servo motors, light sensors, data and fuzzy solar positioning algorithms, thus allowing to simulate the specified scenarios and analyze the results.
