“…The findings demonstrate that the Sun tracking device will solve cloud-based weather uncertainty and achieve a tracking precision of 0.04°. In 2016, Patil et al [50] carried out an experimental study using Arduino with its five lightdependent resistors (LDR) to detect and collect the maximum solar energy using two-axis automatic solar trackers. The two DC engine permanent motors were developed with an algorithm to detect sunbeam in 20 minutes.…”

This contribution <span>presents an overview of control strategies for parabolic dish concentrated solar power (PD-CSP) sun tracker technologies from the literature on different implementations. This paper also highlights the practical challenges in designing sun trackers for CSP applications. Solar radiation undergoes seasonal changes and transients from the cloud that is exceptionally challenging to manipulate. This paper may provide control engineers with technical information on high-precision solar dynamic tracking and optical accuracy by emphasizing the features, advantages, and limitations of different control techniques and algorithms. Implementation of efficient control strategies addresses concerns in amending dynamics and nonlinearities, thus improving the system responses and extending the operational timeline of CSP plants, which results in a reduced cost per kWh produced.</span>

“…Meanwhile in India many researchers have proposed sensor-based LDR-based dual-axis tracking system using microcontrollers. 23,24 Bhote et al 23 Fabricated a dual-axis tracking system in Madhya Pradesh, India for a parabolic dish concentrator carries solar panel using AT89C51 microcontroller, servomotors, and light sensors such as light depending resistors. Also, the complete mechanism was controlled digitally by a dc gear box motor of capacity 12 V only.…”

Summary Solar parabolic dish attracts most of the researchers with its higher concentration ratio and its modular ability. Parabolic dish concentration can be employed in many applications which falls under solar thermal and solar electricity production. This article presents a novel approach of designing and development of a low‐cost solar parabolic dish concentrator of 12.6 m2 aperture area with dual‐axis manual tracking, which can be utilized for process heating and electrical power generation simultaneously. The same set up has been fabricated in National Institute of Technology, Puducherry and ready for investigation and analysis on different prospective. The design concept of solar parabolic dish concentrator and dual‐axis tracking system and its economic analysis are elaborately discussed in this article. The complete procedure followed for the fabrication of the entire system is also highlighted. Based on the economic analysis it was found to be more economical than the other existing dish concentrators in the literature, which costs ₹6877.00 per square meter.

“…The challenge is to collect as much solar energy as possible using concentrator systems. Having found that energy production is affected by the following factors: the geographic location of solar radiation, the ambient temperature and weather in the region and the angle of incidence of the sun [26]. To this end, a system is designed to keep the surface of the sensor perpendicular to the sun [27,28].…”

The energy production in the word is a very complex problem with decreasing the pollution. Therefore, the aim is to find an optimal solution, this research focuses on the development and the optimization of parabolic concentrator using an interactivity approach and virtual design tools. Recently, several works have been developed in this area. In this study, a new conception, design Optimization approach has been involved in system energy design including new concept. The design strategy has been successfully applied to design problems. The optimizer tool developed for based on Heuristic: Gravitational Search Algorithm. The results of the presented in this paper are significant in the system energy design, which presents an effective approach of development by reducing the cost of installation, the time of analysis by increasing the radiation and solar flux concentrated within the parabola generating an increase in accumulated energy.
