Dual Axis Solar Tracking System for Maximum Power Tracking to Analysis Output Power and Determining Component Life Cycle

Abstract

The solar power tower (SPT) is an effective thermal renewable energy source aiming to absorb direct sunbeams on a central collector using thousands of electrical drive-based moved reflectors. The reflector tracking system's accuracy depends on the utilized drive system effectiveness and the used control technique robustness. The project is to design and implementation simple and cheap price solar tracker system with two axes using Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). This project is compared with fixed solar panel and the results showed that solar tracker more output power than fixed solar panel. The sun position carried out in two stages, first stage or direct sensing performed via set of LDR sensors as output tuning to trims the azimuth and altitude angles. With analysis of data generated by solar panel and determining components life cycle over internet of things. The current situation of the more mature segment of solar energy production, the Photovoltaic (PV) solar cell technology, is one in which energy production is improving. Subsequently, it is believed that solar tracking will contribute significantly in increasing the efficiency of energy collection from the PV panels. Solar energy is the most inexhaustible, renewable source of energy known to humanity. In order to increase the efficiency of solar energy systems, solar tracker is added at the expense of system’s complexity and cost. The two basic categories of trackers are single axis and dual axis. Two angle sensors are used to measure the physical angles on both outlet shafts of azimuth and elevation to make sure the desired angles are reached. Integrated advance internet of commutation will be used for data analysis.
