Abstract
A tremendous number of solar tracking systems are available in the market, no design however offers a fully autonomous operation that could track the sun with no prior information about the location, or the season. The proposed paper presents a design, development and control of dual-axes solar tracking systems. The tracking system consists of two DC-motor for two different axes, the incidence and declination angles, and a set of solar sensors. This employed set of sensors is used to acquire the required data to compute the optimum zenith and azimuth angles. The advantage of the proposed that it can be used anywhere with no information needed regarding latitude nor longitude coordinates. The experimental results show a significant improving, like 76%, of performance obtained using dual axes tracking system compared with the fixed horizontal surfaces in the summer in Jordan, and 41% in winter.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Renewable Energy Research (IJRER) is not a for profit organisation. IJRER is a quarterly published, open source journal and operates an online submission with the peer review system allowing authors to submit articles online and track their progress via its web interface. IJRER seeks to promote and disseminate knowledge of the various topics and technologies of renewable (green) energy resources. The journal aims to present to the international community important results of work in the fields of renewable energy research, development, application or design. The journal also aims to help researchers, scientists, manufacturers, institutions, world agencies, societies, etc. to keep up with new developments in theory and applications and to provide alternative energy solutions to current issues such as the greenhouse effect, sustainable and clean energy issues.
