PID controller based autorotation of dual axis solar tracker
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryDual axis solar rotation through microcontroller .Motor drivers rotates solar panel according to maximum light intensity and automated systems performs the task or accurately and efficently.
Project ObjectivesMaximum power tracking using dual axis solar tracker.Besides to provide efficient way of usage of renewable energy .To provide a cost effective system which is environment friendly and easy to installed system as well.
Project Implementation MethodFirst we study and consult about the project to supervisor and university teacher then read some research papers to finally make a firm grip on our project after that we start simulating our project on simulink model and presented in our presentation and finally we will move to Proteus and microcontroller to finalize our software part and ended with hardware model with the help of software model.
Benefits of the ProjectHouse hold applications like Fans AC can use at cost effective way .Similarly signal control system can be achieved by this project electric vehicles can be charged up and full time backup supply of energy for main supply.Payback time of investment is reduced .
Technical Details of Final DeliverableCompatible with both string and micro-inverters as it uses GPS microprocessor and sensor system for orientation has innovative high speed ,bottom mount clamping technology for module attachment annual power consumption is low of system output also average system size of 6KW per tracker .
