Modelling and Design of a Small Scale Solar Tracking System; Application to a Green House Model
Authors: ,
Abstract: Power generation is one of the challenges in Sustainable Development. For example, well known sun tracking systems allows improvement of solar panel power ratio. In order to illustrate this concept, this paper presents a simplified and didactical small scale system for pedagogical application and sensitizing actions. Principle of tracking is described. A mixed SPICE modelling of the system, including geometrical, optical, electronic linear and non linear aspects is built. Simulations results are analyzed. Electronic analogue design is detailed, experimental test are presented before conclusion. This small scale solar tracking system is now installed in a green house model.
