Abstract

This paper presents the performance study of single axis tracking system compared static PV system. To increase the efficiency of PV System. We designed a simple and cost effective 170W sun tracking system for the experiment. The whole experimental setup has been implemented in Simulink>sup/sup< platform for the analysis of improved efficiency. The objective of this paper to optimize the solar energy receivers. In this paper, a Simulink model of the static PV system and Tracking PV system has been presented. In the fabrication of real sun tracker system we used a 24 VDC motor and a simple LDR based control circuit for the tracking purpose. The block diagram with detailed description and performance of the tracking system are presented.
