研究目的
To design an active and dual-axis solar tracker integrated with a fuzzy logic control system to deliver maximum output power and low power consumption when the solar tracker is operated and also to make the system compact and able to withstand the outdoor conditions.
研究成果
The solar tracking system with an intelligent method demonstrates an 18.13% improvement in output power efficiency compared to a stationary panel system. The fuzzy logic controller effectively maximizes solar energy collection with low power consumption.
研究不足
The system's efficiency is dependent on weather conditions, with reduced performance on cloudy or rainy days. The complexity and cost of dual-axis trackers are higher than single-axis trackers.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The project utilizes a fuzzy logic controller integrated into a medium-scale solar tracking system for real-time orientation of a solar PV panel toward the sun. The system employs dual-axis solar tracking with an intelligent method.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) sensors are used for sensing the maximum incident intensity of solar irradiance.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The hardware system includes an Arduino UNO microcontroller, LDR sensors, two power window motors (for horizontal and vertical axes), a motor driver board, and an MPPT charger module.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The system scans the sun's position at five-minute intervals. The fuzzy logic controller provides inferences for the direction and position adjustments of the solar PV panel based on LDR sensor data.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The efficiency of the solar tracking system is compared with a stationary panel system through input power collection measurements over a week.
