Abstract:
Improving the efficiency of solar panels is the main task of solar energy generation. One of the methods is a solar tracking system. One of the most important parameters of tracking systems is a precise orientation to the Sun. In this paper, the performance of single-axis solar trackers based on schedule and light dependent resistor (LDR) photosensors, as well as a stationary photovoltaic installation in various weather conditions, were compared. A comparative analysis of the operation of a manufactured schedule solar tracker and an LDR solar tracker in different weather conditions was performed; in addition, a simple method for determining the rotation angle of a solar tracker based on the encoder was proposed. Finally, the performance of the manufactured solar trackers was calculated, taking into account various weather conditions for one year. The proposed single-axis solar tracker based on schedule showed better results in cloudy and rainy weather conditions. The obtained results can be used for designing solar trackers in areas with a variable climate.

Abstract:
This paper presents the design and fabrication of a prototype model of a novel solar tracker that exploits the unique properties of shape memory alloy for its actuator. As against the conventional solar trackers, the proposed tracker does not use a motor for changing the position of the PV cell. The shape memory alloy is in the form of a spring and is used for actuating. SMA spring moves the solar panel to track the Sun during day time and back to its original position at the end of the day. The proposed structure of the tracker not only increases the efficiency but also proves to be compact, light weight and robust.

Abstract:
Moon exploration will require local renewable energy production system, which design needs estimations of the received solar energy as a function of the location and the installation mode. We developed a novel method to compute the solar energy received by a 1 m2 flat surface anywhere on the Moon, for any period and using four different installation modes used for photovoltaic systems (fixed, 1-axis tracked vertical or horizontal and 2-axis tracked). By computing hourly elevations and azimuths of the Sun from the lunar year 2012 to 2031, we determined the incident angle between the solar rays and the surface, enabling the calculation of the solar energy received over a 20-year cycle, encompassing nearly all Sun-Moon relative positions on a human scale. We applied this method to compare the solar energy received on a one-axis tracked surface (vertical or horizontal axis), a two-axis tracked surface and a fixed surface at optimal azimuth and tilt, at ten locations from equator to poles. While the two-axis tracker exhibits the highest solar energy levels, comparable solar energies are observed near the poles with a vertical axis tracker and near the equator with a horizontal axis tracker. A fixed system, on the other hand, experiences a significant loss of solar energy in comparison to a two-axis tracker, ranging from 37% to 64%. Additionally, we showed that the partial Sun visibility results in reduced solar energy levels, particularly prevalent near the poles where the Sun remains close to the horizon. Near the poles, a vertical axis tracker seems the best solution, and could be theoretically applied with a perfect concentrator photovoltaic system with an acceptance angle above +/−3.5°.

Abstract:
In this paper, we present the results of a simulation of a 3 MWp photovoltaic plant in Nigeria using four case study scenarios: ground-mounted fixed inclined monofacial, and bifacial photovoltaic installation, as well as monofacial and bifacial photovoltaic installations with trackers. The bifacial gains, tracker gains, and bifacial-tracker gains were calculated for each configuration. The fixed ground-mounted inclined bifacial PV system gained 12% annual average bifacial gain over a fixed ground-mounted monofacial system, while the bifacial system with a solar tracker gained 8.9% over a monofacial system with a solar tracker. A monofacial PV system with a tracker over a fixed inclined monofacial system has a tracker gain of 16%, while a bifacial PV system with a tracker over a fixed inclined bifacial system has a tracker gain of 13.2%. The monofacial system with a solar tracker outperforms a fixed inclined bifacial system by about 4%. The sensitivity analysis performed to determine the effect of system parameters such as albedo and ground clearance height on bifacial PV systems reveals that the increase in specific energy production per kilowatt-hour per year is directly proportional to the albedo of the surface area on which the bifacial PV systems are installed, and adequate ground clearance height is required between the ground and the installed bifacial PV plants.

Abstract:
Solar energy is optimally obtained by solar cells when the solar cells are perpendicular to the sun's position, so a sun tracker is needed to track the sun precisely. This research compares the electrical power used in two system dual-axis sun trackers with a tetrahedron geometry that uses an LDR sensor with a phototransistor sensor. The two sun trackers are built identically and the experimental data with the servo movement and the solar cell load are carried out side by side. The servo motor controls with Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) algorithm controls the movement of the dual-axis sun tracker. Data were obtained by recording the voltage and current received by the solar cells installed on the two sun trackers and comparing the results. The results showed that the phototransistor sensor performs better than the LDR sensor. This can be seen from the amount of power generated by the phototransistor sensor which is more than the power generated by the LDR sensor on the solar cell. The solar energy received by sun tracker uses a phototransistor sensor average 40% more than sun tracker uses an LDR sensor.

Abstract:
Nowadays, renewable energy is a much discussable topic because of its important specifications such as pollution and un end sources. This paper emphasizes the importance and capabilities of the dual axis solar tracking system (DASTS) of solar cell technologies. The study carried out a practical process of a dual-axis system design, which practically demonstrates the influence of dual-axis solar trackers, including their operational principles, advantages, and associated challenges. Furthermore, it has been shown that dual-axis solar trackers can significantly increase solar energy yield by capturing maximum sunlight, making them an important advancement in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of solar energy generation. The paper also presents a performance evaluation of a solar tracker system that improved energy output by 45 % compared to the fixed solar panel (FSP) while also reducing the numerical calculation (NC) efficiency of DASTS by 3.16 %. Based on these findings, solar tracker systems can provide sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solutions that are both feasible and substantial.

Abstract:
Hydroponic growing media requires a continuous flow of water usually powered by PLN electricity. If the electricity supply is interrupted, the supply of plant nutrients will be disrupted. The utilization of renewable energy, such as photovoltaic, is an alternative solution. The efficiency of energy conversion is highly dependent on the placement of photovoltaic towards the position of the sun. Solar trackers that direct solar panels to follow the movement of the sun can increase the efficiency of photovoltaic. This research compares the performance of solar panel systems with and without solar trackers and tests the working duration of batteries for hydroponic water pump power supply. The Internet of Things (IoT) concept encompasses the idea of expanding the network of internet-connected devices to control and monitor devices remotely. The results show that the panel with the tracker produces an average voltage of 13.87 Volts and a current of 0.85 Amperes higher than without the tracker (13.36 Volts and 0.63 Amperes), with an efficiency of about 2% between the solar panel using the tracker and the one not using the tracker system. In addition, the battery can work for 12 hours to power the hydroponic water pump without the power obtained by the solar panel. For further development, it is recommended to use more advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technology and improved methods to increase the efficiency of the tracker system

Abstract:
An important area in the field of solar energy is considered, focusing on the use of a hydraulic drive in high-power solar trackers. In the context of the relevance of environmental problems and the commitment to energy efficiency, the role of solar trackers in increasing the productivity of solar power plants is investigated. An analysis of current trends in the field of hydraulic drive is presented, highlighting the prospects for its application. The analysis of the directions of improvement of the drives of the solar tracker is carried out. The hydraulic drive of the tracker is considered as an object of regulation. Disturbing loads of various types acting in the process of changing the position of the tracker are determined. The main load acting on the tracker drive is positional, caused by the gas–dynamic effect of the wind flow impinging on the tracker plane or the ambiguity of the behavior of the snow and ice cover. It is determined that the inertial load, when turning a high-power tracker, has a significant effect on the friction forces in the attachment points of the hinge support mechanisms. Options for the implementation of new circuit solutions for the tracker hydraulic drive are considered. Using information from sensors of movement of the rods of hydraulic motors of the tracker position drive, the sun position sensor, the control electronic module positions the solar tracker platform by supplying control signals to the electric hydraulic distributors of the drive. The hydromechanical regulators of the pump adjust the characteristics of the system to a random change in external loads on the tracker. A mathematical model of the hydraulic drive of the basic circuit tracker has been developed. The digital model of the tracker drive is designed to optimize the operation of the hydraulic drive, taking into account various factors such as inertia, viscous damping, hydraulic losses, system nonlinearities, thermal losses, elasticity of elements and the impact of external factors. The results obtained emphasize the efficiency and accuracy of the control system, making the hydraulic drive an important element in the development of clean and efficient energy.

Abstract:
This research proposes the use of a smart solar tracker to enhance the power generated by solar panels. The smart solar tracker is designed by integrating IoT technology and applied to a Solar Home System. This device not only optimizes the tilt angle of solar panels automatically but also enables remote monitoring of solar panel performance through IoT. Parameters such as panel angle, voltage, and current are measured. Test results indicate that installing the smart solar tracker increases the power output of solar panels compared to panels without the smart solar tracker. For instance, at 11:00 AM, solar panels with the smart solar tracker generated 9.85W of power with a panel angle of 70 degrees, whereas solar panels without the smart solar tracker only produced 8.9W of power with a panel angle of 35 degrees. Penelitian ini mengusulkan penggunaan smart solar tracker untuk meningkatkan daya yang dihasilkan oleh panel surya. Smart solar tracker dirancang dengan mengintegrasikan teknologi IoT dan diterapkan pada Solar Home System. Alat ini tidak hanya mengoptimalkan sudut kemiringan panel surya secara otomatis, tetapi juga memungkinkan pemantauan jarak jauh terhadap kinerja panel surya melalui IoT. Pengukuran parameter seperti sudut panel, tegangan, dan arus dilakukan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa pemasangan smart solar tracker meningkatkan daya output panel surya dibandingkan dengan panel surya tanpa smart solar tracker. Misalnya, pada pukul 11.00 WIB, panel surya dengan smart solar tracker menghasilkan daya sebesar 9.85W dengan sudut panel 70 derajat, sementara panel surya tanpa smart solar tracker hanya menghasilkan daya sebesar 8.9W dengan sudut panel 35 derajat.

Abstract:
This thesis outlines the implementation and commissioning of a LabVIEW based, dual axis solar tracking system located within Murdoch University’s Renewable Energy Outdoor Test Area. An electrical system that is capable of supplying power to the solar tracking hardware and protecting it from the effects of overcurrent has been designed, installed and tested according to several Australian Standards including the AS3000 Wiring Rules. The testing of the electrical system proved that the installation was both safe and reliable and as such it was connected to the existing Murdoch University electricity grid. The commissioning of the solar tracking hardware proved to be problematic with various issues delaying the progression of the project including damage to one of the main servomotors resulting in the need for a replacement motor, corruption of VSD parameter files and the transposition of phases during the connection of one of the motors. A plan for testing the accuracy of the solar tracking LabVIEW program was developed using a pyrheliometer. Extensive testing was carried out on the tracker which ultimately confirmed the accuracy of the solar positioning algorithm. However, it was discovered that further angle conversions will need to take place in order to make the software useable on a fixed east-west primary axis solar array. Overall the project has been taken from a bench tested prototype to being implemented in a real world environment. A major step forward in the progression of this project has occurred during this thesis and it is for this reason that the project has been considered successful by both the current project holder and the project supervisor.

Abstract:
A matriz energética brasileira atualmente está concentrada na geração de energia hidrelétrica. Mas, devido aos últimos acontecimentos de escassez de recursos hídricos, faz-se necessário diversificar a matriz energética por meio do investimento em energias alternativas. O Brasil ainda possui muitas pessoas na área rural sem abastecimento de energia elétrica, fato que limita a implantação de técnicas agrícolas como a irrigação. Nesse contexto, a energia solar fotovoltaica (FV) é uma alternativa para diversificar a matriz energética brasileira e ampliar o uso de sistemas de irrigação. Foram instalados dois módulos FV, um estático e outro com um sistema de rastreamento solar manual de três passos, na área experimental do Departamento de Engenharia de Biossistemas - ESALQ/USP (22° 42\' 30\'\'S, 47° 38\' 00\'\'W, altitude de 546 metros). Para cada módulo FV, estático e móvel, foram acoplados sistemas de bombeamento de água para um sistema simulado de irrigação. O objetivo foi avaliar o incremento de energia FV gerada, tempo de bombeamento, volume bombeado e área irrigada; com o uso do sistema rastreador. A partir dos dados encontrados, verificou-se que o sistema rastreador solar manual de três passos apresentou maior eficiência na captação de energia (8 - 19% dia-1), quando comparado com geradores fixos; o que refletiu no incremento significativo do tempo de bombeamento (40 - 160 min dia-1), no volume bombeado (884 - 3479 litros dia-1) e na área irrigada (196 - 773 m² dia-1 para uma lâmina de irrigação de 4,5 mm). Com isso, o rastreador se mostrou uma alternativa técnica viável para melhorar a captação de energia solar e aumentar a área irrigada com um mesmo tamanho de área de gerador FV. Em relação ao investimento, o sistema rastreador custou apenas 0,2% do custo total da instalação FV, e proporcionou a redução do tempo de retorno do investimento em 2 anos e 5 meses comparado ao módulo FV estático.<br>The current Brazilian Energetic Matrix is concentrated in the generation of hydroelectric energy. But, due the latest water resources scarcity, it is necessary to diversify the energetic matrix by investing in alternatives energies. Brazil still have a plenty of people living in rural areas without supply of electric energy, this fact limits the implantation of agriculture techniques like irrigation. In this sense, the photovoltaic solar energy (PV) is an alternative to diversify the Brazilian Energetic Matrix and expand the use of irrigation systems. It were installed two PV modules, one static and another with solar three steps manual tracking system, Biosystems Engineering Department - ESALQ/USP (22° 42\' 30\'\'S, 47°38\' 00\'\'W, at 546 meters altitude). For each PV module, static and moving, it was coupled water pumping systems for simulated irrigation systems. The goal was evaluate the gain of the PV energy generated; pumping time; pumping volume and irrigated area; using the tracking system. From obtained data, it was observed that the solar three steps manual tracking system shows more efficiency in the energy harvesting (8 - 19% day-1), compared to static generator; which resulted in significant gain of pumping time (40 - 160 min day-1), pumping volume (884 - 3479 liters day-1) and irrigates area (196 - 773 m² day-1 for a irrigation depth equal 4.5 mm). Therewith, the tracking system shows a viable alternative technique to improve solar energy harvesting and increase the irrigated area with same area of PV generator. In relation to investment of the tracking system, it cost only 0.2 % of the total cost of PV installation and provided the reduction in the return on investment time of 2 years and 5 month compared to static PV module.

Abstract:
Reference is increasingly being made towards the need for the world to find new and renewable forms of energy, especially for electric power generation, but also for space heating and the heating of water. Solar energy is one of the cheapest forms of renewable energy available and is so far one of the most underutilised resources. One contribution makes reference to the way forward as being ‘using concentrating solar power which uses parabolic mirrors to focus the solar heat (energy) and generate steam to drive electric generators’ as is currently happening in the utility power marketplace in the USA. This thesis deals with the issues surrounding the original development of a two axis solar energy tracking system (SET) in 1997. The subsequent redesign, development and upgrade, undertaken from 2002 to 2006, with its performance and efficiency being measured in 2006 and 2007 using a specially configured measurement and recording system. A Solar Energy Tracker (SET) is designed to track the sun moving in two axes, reflecting the solar radiation received on its mirrors to a target mounted at the end of a boom, at the focal point of the mirrors. In late 2005 and early 2006, a solar thermal hot water manufacturer and installer heard about the developments and requested some form of involvement, especially if Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (CPIT) provided research input and assisted in the further development and testing of solar thermal hot water systems. This sponsor offered two projects in 2006 and again in 2007. Other solar thermal hot water suppliers also requested involvement in the research and development being performed at CPIT, which led in August 2006, December 2006, June 2007 and December 2007, to a number of other solar thermal hot water and air wall systems being installed. Progressively, the roof of C block at CPIT has become full of solar thermal hot water systems and solar air wall systems, both of the conventional type and those with newer technologies at the core of their development. This thesis outlines the stages in the redesign and development of the SET, and the various stages in its testing, development and refinement up to its present form. The thesis chapters are written based around the mechanical and electrical design, the auto-tracking and daylight controls, the PLC (programmable logic controller) controller, the mirror and substrate testing, the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system, the testing and comparison with other domestic solar thermal hot water systems and finally the testing of the SET itself. It also details the future developments and outlines possible uses for the SET in its redefined form. With clean and polished mirrors the SET has proven itself capable of achieving a temperature rise across the target of 15 °C at a flow rate of 4 l/m. On some occasions this temperature rise can be in excess of 20 °C, but testing thus far, has shown this cannot be sustained for any worthwhile period of time (15-30 minutes). This translates to an efficiency of 5-10 % when related to an energy produced per twenty four hour time period. However, if the efficiency is calculated for the actual period of generation, ‘generation efficiency,’ then this figure rises to 24 %. An overview is given of associated solar thermal hot water and solar air wall system research and development (that is ongoing at CPIT) as well as the performance and efficiency graphs for the solar thermal hot water systems on test. No manufacturer’s, industry or brand trade names are mentioned, as this research is still confidential and commercially sensitive. However, the technology involved and characterised by each solar thermal system is recorded in a generic sense. The SET was originally developed with the purpose of heating hot water and today this is still the intent. The possible applications for this hot water are many and varied from electricity generation, space heating and further into developing or new industrial processes. The performances of the other domestic solar thermal hot water systems currently under test, are compared with the figures from the SET, with the maximum efficiency, presently available, being from an evacuated tube heat pipe system at up to 65 %, whereas traditional finned flat plate technologies have efficiencies after twelve months of up to 48 %.

Abstract:
Detection of an underwater target with active sonar in shallow waters such as the Baltic sea is a big challenge. This since the sound beams from the sonar will be reflected on the surfaces, sea surface and sea bottom, and the water volume itself which generates reverberation. Reverberation which will be reflected back to the receiver, is strong in intensity which give rise to many false targets in terms of classifying a target in a surveillance area. These false targets are unwanted and a real target might benefit from these miss-classifications in terms of remaining undetected. It is especially hard if the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is approaching zero, i.e. the target strength and the reverberation strength are equal in magnitude. The classical approach to a target detection problem is to assign a threshold value to the measurement, and the data point exceeding the threshold is classified as a target. This approach does not hold for low levels of SNR, since a threshold would not have a statistical significance and could lead to neglecting important data. Track-before-detect (TrBD) is a proposed method for low-SNR situations which tracks and detects a target based on unthresholded data. TrBD enables tracking and detecting of weak and/or stealthy targets. Due to the issues with target detection in shallow waters, the hypothesis of this thesis is to investigate the possibility to implement TrBD, and evaluate the performance of it, when applied on a low-SNR target. The TrBD is implemented with a particle filter which is a recursive Bayesian solution to the problem of integrated tracking and detection. The reverberation data was generated by filtering white noise with an Autoregressive filter of order 1. The target is assigned to propagate according to a constant velocity state space model. Two types of TrBD algorithms are implemented, one which is trained on the background and one which is not. The untrained TrBD is able to track and detect the target but only for levels of SNR down to 4dB. Lower SNR leads to the algorithm not being able to distinguish the target signal from the reverberation. The trained TrBD on the other hand, is able to perform very well for levels of SNR down to 0dB, it is able to track and detect the target and neglect the reverberation. For trajectories passing through areas with high reverberation, the target was lost for a short period of time until it could be retracked again. Overall, the TrBD was successfully implemented on the self-generated data and has a good performance for various target trajectories.

Abstract:
As part of the design and development effort for the “Hybrid Lighting System,” Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) scientists have evaluated two potential candidate-tracking systems for the solar collector. The first system, the WattSun Solar Tracker, built by Array Technologies, utilizes a patented, closed loop, optical sun sensor to sense the sun’s position and track it. The second tracking system, SolarTrak Controller, built by Enhancement Electronics, Inc., is a micro controller-based tracking system. The SolarTrak micro controller-based Tracker’s sun position is determined by computing the celestial bearing of the sun with respect to the earth using the local time, date, latitude, longitude and time zone rather than sensing the relative bearing of the sun with optical receptors. This system connects directly to the mechanical system hardware supplied by Array Technologies. Both the WattSun Solar Tracker and the SolarTrak Controller were mounted on the prototype “Hybrid Lighting” mechanical system (array) hardware. A simple switch allowed independent testing of each system. Upon completion of the evaluation of the two systems we found the WattSun Solar Tracker controller to be unacceptable for use with our prototype hybrid lighting system. The SolarTrak Controller has performed well to date and provides suitable tracking accuracy for use with our prototype “Hybrid Lighting System”. After a six-month evaluation period at ORNL, the first prototype “Hybrid Lighting System” was installed at Ohio University as part of an “Enhanced Practical Photosynthetic CO2 Mitigation.” This document will highlight the results of the tracker investigation and outline the remaining issues to be addressed, to provide a suitable tracking system for our “Hybrid Lighting” collector.

Abstract:
With the global growth of solar technologies, the general public is beginning to utilize these efficient power sources in their everyday lives. In response, the NMSU Solar team is developing a product to help the enthusiasts and businesses that fuel this green movement. The NMSU Solar team is developing an affordable, standalone digital solar tracker that can be mounted to any device (e.g. solar panels, parabolic dish, etc.). The digital solar tracker is being designed to fit the needs of price conscious businesses and the abilities of hobbyists wanting to build their own personal tracker. The device utilizes a digital clock chip for the date and time, a simple magnetometer as a digital compass, and an accelerometer to detect the acceleration of gravity to locate the sun by its geographical location. Once the system has its target face within a few degrees of being normal to the sun, it employs a quadrant-photo-diode to precisely calculate the sun’s direction. By coupling the system with two multiplexers, an Arduino board, and an X-Bee chip, the system can be remotely controlled and monitored from a single command post up to a mile away. The use of the Arduino’s 10 bit resolution analog-to-digital converter allows the unit to have a remote DAQ system capable of reading temperatures, pressures, and power from the solar device. The results can be sent back to a computer for data logging or monitoring. Because these components are in water resistant housing with a small battery and a 10 watt solar panel, the system can give years of service. This basic design is an effective tool for large businesses or a “must have” upgrade for the enthusiast looking to gain every ounce of power from existing solar panels. By releasing the code and design to the public after its final development, the NMSU Solar team hopes to aid in the sustainability of a power hungry world.
