New Design and Architecture of a Smart Tracker: Flexible and Scalable for PV and CSP Systems

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: This work proposes a new design and architecture of a flexible biaxial solar tracker.A new approach was adopted with the use of a two separated cards, the smart and power card in a scalable concept.This module allows a more saving of energy in comparison with the fixed systems for PV (photovoltaic) application and allows hire performances for CSP (concentrated solar power) systems.It provides a significant added value for higher power applications in comparison with the existing system.The developed sun tracking system is autonomous, flexible, scalable and low cost system.
