Design of maximum power tracking system by automatic control of solar panel direction according to the sun direction

Abstract

Renewable energy is an area of significant investment and importance for future generations. The basis of this project is to design an automatic control system for solar panel that tracking maximum power tracking according to the direction of sun ray. This project is an analysis of maximum power that can generate from the solar panel. This project needed to investigate the system parameter that affected the input sun ray to the solar panel. The system parameters that needs to investigate is temperature, cell type, number of cell, temperature and the intensity of the sun. The system parameter is important to create the maximum power that can be generating by the design solar panel. In this project, the main purpose is to design a system that control the direction of the solar panel base on the sun direction and the main system parameter is the intensity of sun in daily mode. The system is use the motor type for controlling the angle of the solar panel base on the maximum intensity of sun ray. The motor is design to maximize the intensity of the sun ray that control the panel perpendicular to the sun direction to get maximum power energy that can be generate.
