Abstract

This paper presents the performance study of single axis tracking system compared static PV system. To increase the efficiency of PV System. We designed a simple and cost effective 170W sun tracking system for the experiment. The whole experimental setup has been implemented in Simulink^TM platform for the analysis of improved efficiency. The objective of this paper to optimize the solar energy receivers. In this paper, a Simulink model of the static PV system and Tracking PV system has been presented. In the fabrication of real sun tracker system we used a 24 VDC motor and a simple LDR based control circuit for the tracking purpose. The block diagram with detailed description and performance of the tracking system are presented.

Abstract

This paper describes an approach to the design and implementation of sun tracker stand in PV system making 120 Volt string. For the strength analysis against wind pressure the PV system with tracker stand has been implemented in solid work software version SP-13. Another part of this paper is the comparison of power drawn from The PV system with tracker and without a tracker. The data received in real experimental setup. We analyzed that the efficiency of PV systems can be increased by 42 % compared to the static PV system by implementing the tracker techniques in the PV System.
