  • multi axes sun tracking system with plc control for photovoltaic panels in turkey
    Renewable Energy, 2009
    Co-Authors: Cemil Sungur
    Abstract:

    In the present study, the azimuth and Solar Altitude angles of the sun were calculated for a period of 1 year at 37.6° latitude in the Northern hemisphere, where Turkey is located, and according to these angles, an electromechanical system which tracks the sun on both axes and which is controlled via a programmable logic control (PLC) and an analog module was designed and implemented.

  • Multi-axes sun-tracking system with PLC control for photovoltaic panels in Turkey

    Co-Authors: Cemil Sungur
    Abstract:

    In the present study, the azimuth and Solar Altitude angles of the sun were calculated for a period of 1 year at 37.6° latitude in the Northern hemisphere, where Turkey is located, and according to these angles, an electromechanical system which tracks the sun on both axes and which is controlled via a programmable logic control (PLC) and an analog module was designed and implemented. After the mechanical control unit of the designed system was started, the performance measurements of the Solar panel were carried out first when the Solar panel was in a fixed position and then the Solar panel was controlled while tracking the sun on azimuth and Solar Altitude angles and the necessary measurements were performed. It was observed that the control system operated without a problem. Besides, when the data obtained from the measurements were compared, it was seen that 42.6% more energy was obtained in the two-axes sun-tracking system when compared to the fixed system. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
