Comparison of Solar Photovoltaic Energy Systems Fixed Installation configuration with Single Tracking System
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper describes the fixed PV systems tilt angle and the single tracking system. It looked at the performance of each system in terms of the voltage output and compares the two to find a better performing system. This paper also through the experiment which was conducted seek to verify a phenomenon already established by previous research to determine if the comparison done at a smaller scale would provide similar results. The experiment had an Arduino based control system. The experimental setup used two light dependent resistors (LDRs) which were fixed onto the PV module. Any correction signal generated due to inequality of voltage outputs of the two LDRs was used actuate a servo motor which would rotate at an angle proportional to the magnitude to the correction signal, that is, for tracking system. The two configurations have been successfully built and demonstrated and the results obtained are consistent with what previous research has established that the tracking system has a higher performance output than a fixed system. Further work would include dual tracking system with optimized life cycle cost.
