“…In particular, an algorithm, implemented in a biaxial solar tracker, can instantly calculate the sun position at the latitude and longitude of the installation site. The algorithm can drive up to two engines which are able to change the position of a solar panel, in order to increase its efficiency, for tracking the sun in its movement from east to west (azimuth motion) and in its elevation up to solar noon (tilt motion) [18]. The whole system is adaptable to various types of structures as it involves a cycle of self-learning of the structure and thus adaptation of calculations to the tracker on which it is installed.…”

This paper describes an intelligent system for monitoring photovoltaic plants, detecting thefts or malfunctions and optimizing energy production by algorithm to drive solar trackers. Sensing/processing board detects environmental parameters and calculates produced power/energy for monitoring efficiency while anti-theft system reveals any critical condition. Designed board controls biaxial trackers calculating sun position and following solar orbit to optimize energy production. Monitoring and anti-tampering systems communicate with PC or remote stations by wireless modules. Finally, wireless monitoring system of household facilities measures absorbed currents viewing consumption values on web-page. Depending on light/presence sensors, system can switch on/off monitored facilities obtaining energy savings.

La investigación en las áreas de energías renovables, específicamente de uso de energía solar fotovoltaica, es un área de fuerte desarrollo en la actualidad, debido a la necesidad de generar sistemas energéticos que permitan reducir el impacto de carbono que la actividad humana tiene sobre los ecosistemas. En este sentido, se desarrolló un prototipo de sistema fotovoltaico autónomo de seguimiento del sol, de poco procesamiento y bajo costo, buscando aumentar la capacidad de generación eléctrica de los paneles solares y hacer estudios comparativos de producción y análisis de factibilidad económica vs sistemas fijos. Adicionalmente, el proyecto permite a los estudiantes, profesores e investigadores involucrados, aprender conceptos complejos de manera práctica, diferenciando a la Universidad Católica Santa María La Antigua (USMA) como ente generador de innovación tecnológica, aportando resultados y diseños innovadores en el mercado de generación eléctrica solar de bajo consumo.

“…Generally, the implementation of such systems is more complex due to the complex algorithms used that requiring extensive calculations. On the other side, sensor‐based solar trackers widely use light sensors such as photoresistors (LDRs), photodiodes, solar cells, pyrometers to follow instantaneously sun's movement. The most commonly used sensors are LDRs in view of their simple circuit and very low price .…”

This paper presents the design and practical implementation of a simple active dual‐axis solar tracker (DAST) to track the sun's movement by using fewer components and low‐cost as well. A dual‐axis mechanism is developed in order to tilt the PV panel by two servo motors facing the highest intensity of sunlight captured by LDR sensors, which are placed in the four corners of PV panel. The DAST prototype was constructed practically and tested using a real‐time virtual instrument based on Excel to determine its efficiency. Moreover, a comparison based on experimental results between the energy produced by the proposed smart DAST and a fixed panel shows that the smart DAST produces 36.26% more energy compared to the fixed panel. The proposed active DAST can be easily implemented without possessing deep knowledge about solar tracking technologies and electronic engineering.
