How automatic solar tracking system is implemented using Delta plc?
In this paper, automatic solar tracking system is implemented using DELTA PLC which tracks the sun more effectively with its simple and precise control structure in all environmental conditions. The automatic solar tracker maneuvers solar panel towards the sun to extract maximum energy during the day time.
Why should you use Siemens plc for automatic solar tracking?
CPU and the programming tools allow users to design autonomous industrial processes and solve automation problems. Based on this specific application and its user-friendly programming tool and troubleshooting solutions, Siemens’ PLC hardware and software were found to be the right fit for the automatic solar tracking application in this project.
What is a solar tracking system?
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.
How accurate is solar tracking?
When in range, the system has a tracking accuracy of ±1°. 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.
How to track a solar panel?
The tracking is done by programmed light intensity of the panel with the help of LDR sensors and magnetic reed switches, which controls the speed and direction of the dc gear motor attached to the solar panel through mechanical structure and gear arrangement by programming in PLC.
What is solar tracker control architecture?
SIMATIC S7- Solar Tracker Control Architecture (Tang, ) This process is conducted through the solar tracking and the calculation of the alignment for single axis tracking libraries, depending on whether the system is single or dual axis. The Siemens SPA (Solar Position Algorithm) calculates the azimuth and zenith.
