Optimizing solar energy production with PLC & SCADA. Sun-tracking system design, prototype, and solar cell efficiency explored.
Data analysis from research shows that even a single axis three-position system can increase efficiency and make solar tracking a worthwhile endeavour. Automated tracking, Linear motors, PLC, Solar tracking, Solar panels. Figure 1. Sun vector components in a diurnal circle course of the sun (Prinsloo &
The motors' feedback system went through the voltage regulators to lower the voltage from 0-24VDC to under 0-10VDC and links to the PLC's analog input connection. The CPU was fed 240VAC from either a power supply or an outlet, and it was converted to 24VDC. This supplied power to the switch module and the HMI screen.
This thesis project aimed to explore the programming of linear motors in an attempt to create a solar tracking panel system, and to examine the value of sun tracking as opposed to fixed panels. The program described in this paper utilizes Siemens' adaptation of a sun tracking algorithm to create single and dual axis tracking.
This is the true position of the sun as seen from an observer on the surface of the earth. From fig. A solar tracking system refers to a system which is able to track the movement of the sun throughout the day for maximum energy efficiency and have it at a perpendicular angle to the plane of the solar panel.
