Tracking Solar Concentrators: A Low Budget Solution by Zafrullah Jagoo

By Zafrullah Jagoo

Harnessing a large number of complementary eco-friendly strength resources is the one believable method to fulfill the power calls for of a grasping international economic system. the opportunity of solar power (being the main ample) in pleasing a part of the power specifications of mankind is large and constitutes the focus of this e-book. A self-powered sunlight tracker that issues without delay in the direction of the sunlight via an built-in keep an eye on mechanism with levels of rotational freedom used to be studied and built. The electro-mechanical keep an eye on approach relies on a precisely-timed microcontroller circuit that first computes the altitude and azimuth of the sunlight in real-time after which drives a couple of stepper automobiles that steer the sunlight tracker in the direction of it. A in the neighborhood equipped fibre-glass parabolic dish, the skin of that's coated with a reflective vinyl reflect movie, serves to pay attention sun rays on its surface.
