Design of the Solar Automatic Tracker of Polar Axis Type

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper mainly aims at the special requirement of the solar energys application in tunnel direct lighting engineering, where the light receiver is fixed. Therefore, it has given a new automatic tracking method of polar axis type, which can effectively make the concentrator to realize the function of tracking the sun automatically with high precision and fixed-point output. Based on expounding the working principle of the automatic tracker with polar axis, meanwhile combining with the obliquely installed concentrator load, it talks about the detailed design and explanation of mechanical structure, characteristics and implementation of the suns hour angle and declination angle tracking mechanism.
