Aim of our project. Develop a solar tracking System

Why Solar Tracking? The efficiency of PV panel depend on the solar radiation. More solar radiation give us more efficiency. The solar radiation depends on the cosine of the incidence angle(θ).

Why Solar Tracking? Cont. We need to keep the PV panel perpendicular to the sun throughout the year in order to make it more efficient . i.e. , make θ (incidence angle) = 0 so the solar radiation is maximum.

Block diagram for solar tracker PV module 4-PV sensors fixed on the PV module PIC 16F877A 2-DC motors rotate the PV module 2H-Bridges

PV module we take a module of 53W peak power . it has a rated voltage 21v and rated current 3.45A. we have prepared a mechanical holder for this module . we consider to be the best possible design in terms of flexibility rotation to match that with the ability of the motors .

4-PV sensors we use for PV cells as sensors . Each two sensors put on each axis of the PV module. (up/down and left/right). The rated of PV sensors is 8.5 open circuit voltage, 270mA short circuit current and 1.65W maximum power. At solar radiation = 1000W/m2 we achieved the I-V curve of the PV sensors .

4-PV sensors Cont. We achieved the following table . I load (mA) V load (v) 260 234 6.9 8.5

4-PV sensors Cont. Plot the table. I-V curve for the PV sensor. (Y-axis is the current, X-axis is the voltage)

4-PV sensors Cont. we calibrated the sensors to give us 5v as a maximum voltage at standard conditions. (G=1000W/m2, T=25C) . This voltage in order to match the PIC. To achieve that, we use some approximations. -3.768V+260=5/R R=20ohms This value of resistance must be connect in parallel in each sensor

Microcontroller We use PIC16F877A. This is the heart of our project. which performs all commanding and controlling operations.

Microcontroller Cont. The pins A0,A1,A2and A3 are an input pins (these pins take the signal from PV sensors). The pins C1,C2,C4 and C5 defined as output pins . These pins send the signals to the H-Bridges. Output Pins Read the sensor on Input Pin C2,C4 Left A0 Right A1 C1,C5 Up A2 Down A3

H- Bridges This circuit was needed to switch the direction of the current in the motor in order to switch the direction of the rotation.

H- Bridges Cont.

H- Bridges Cont. H-Bridges take the signals from the output pins of the PIC. Each two outputs of the H-Bridge connected to a DC motor.

DC Motors we need for a low speed motor so we choose a special motors. We use a window motor with a rated current 2.2A and rated voltage 12v to track the system for left and right .

DC Motors Cont. Another motor used is a dish motor for tracking the system up and down with rated 1.5A and 12v .

Control operation of the motors The control operation for the left/right motor comments Direction of rotation C4 C2 Voltage of left sensor =voltage of right sensor No rotation Voltage of left sensor larger Left 1 Voltage of right sensor larger Right impossible

Control operation of the motors Cont. The control operation for the up/down motor . comments Direction of rotation C5 C1 Voltage of up sensor =voltage of down sensor No rotation Voltage of up sensor larger Up 1 Voltage of down sensor larger Down impossible

Flaw Chart to control the rotation of the left/ right motor Read left and right sensorsA0, A1 Calculate the difference between them Is the left sensor> the right sensor Is 0.1<difference <3 C2 & C4 = 0,The left /right motor stopped no C2=1, C4=0 . rotate the L/R motor to right no yes Delay yes Compare the left and right sensors (A0.A1) C2=0, C4=1 . rotate the L/R motor to left Remove to control the rotation of the up/down motor Delay Delay Read left and right sensorsA0, A1

Flaw Chart to control the rotation of the up/ down motor . Read up/ down sensorsA2, A3 Calculate the difference between them Is the up sensor> the down sensor Is 0.1<difference <3 C1 & C5 = 0,The up/down motor stopped no C1=1, C5=0 . rotate the U/D motor to down no yes Delay yes Compare the up and down sensors (A2,A3) C1=0, C5=1 . rotate the U/D motor to up Remove to control the rotation of the left/right motor Delay Delay Read up down sensorsA2, A3

Test on the output of PIC we conducted a test on the PIC and we make sure the output of the PIC is true. The following figure show the results of this test .
