4. The purpose of this research is to develop a passive sun-tracking control system
for high concentrated photovoltaics (HCPV), which uses two axes tracking
mechanisms. HCPV uses III-V solar cell which has higher efficiency and can only
absorb the direct solar irradiation. In order to reducing the error of incident angle,
which causing degradation of insolation absorption of the solar cell, the precision of
tracker is set to be smaller than 0.5°.
The passive tracking adopted in this study is utilizing the horizontal coordinates
of astronomy, which depends on the latitude, longitude and time zone of the tracker’s
location to calculate the altitude and azimuth of the solar. The stepping motor, which
drive the tracking mechanisms, is chosen to provide adequate rotating torque for
mechanism and rpm for coping with rapid motion of the solar trajectories (particularly
in the noon).
This control system is programming with Labview software. When the solar
altitude and solar azimuth move at angle of 0.2°, the controller drives the stepping
motor to actuate the tracker. A collimating tube with an accuracy of 0.1° is used to
measure the error of tracking angle, and recorded the light spot in the collimating tube
with a digital camera to analyzing the error distribution. At the outdoor test,
experiment results show that the average angle error is less than 0.5° and which prove
the feasibility of the passive sun-tracking system can be used in HCPV.
Key word: HCPV, two axes passive solar tracker, sun-tracking control system
