Design and Construction of New Hybrid Solar Tracking System

Abstract:

We have designed and constructed a brand new of a dish solar tracking system. This hybrid system is composed of a sensor module and a local clock time equation systems, and they all work together whatever the weather conditions are. Experimental results from this system show that the tolerances of the azimuth and altitude angles are not over ±2º showing a high accuracy of the system when we have performed this system in Bangkok, Thailand. Moreover, the measured temperature from the solar receiver is 508.25K. This system is then expected to work well with the solar collector for the electric power conversion in future.
