Technical FAQs 4

What is a solar tracking system?

This is the true position of the sun as seen from an observer on the surface of the earth. From fig. A solar tracking system refers to a system which is able to track the movement of the sun throughout the day for maximum energy efficiency and have it at a perpendicular angle to the plane of the solar panel.

How is the solar tracking process governed and controlled?

In this paper, the tracking process is governed and controlled by programmable logic controller (PLC) where two stepper motors are used to guide the motion of the solar panel in azimuth and elevation angle. The azimuth and solar altitude angles of sun were calculated at 24.3636ºN, 88.6241ºE (Rajshahi, Bangladesh).

What is solar tracker control architecture?

SIMATIC S7-1200 Solar Tracker Control Architecture (Tang, 2014) This process is conducted through the solar tracking and the calculation of the alignment for single axis tracking libraries, depending on whether the system is single or dual axis. The Siemens SPA (Solar Position Algorithm) calculates the azimuth and zenith.

Why should you use Siemens plc for automatic solar tracking?

CPU and the programming tools allow users to design autonomous industrial processes and solve automation problems. Based on this specific application and its user-friendly programming tool and troubleshooting solutions, Siemens’ PLC hardware and software were found to be the right fit for the automatic solar tracking application in this project.
