The Research and Design of Automatic Tracking System of the Light Based on the LOGO Controller

Abstract:

Use of automation technology sun tracking is to improve the photovoltaic efficiency of the important ways, according to research the power generating efficiency is increased by 30% to 40%, the existing solar power station solar light tracking for the software control, namely, according to historical data, based on the analysis and calculation of the solar motion law, writing software control, real-time monitoring, cumulative error manual correction, regularly. In order to solve the above problem, this paper describes the design of a novel solar tracking system, sensor, controller, actuator to carefully design and selection, based on the realization of the LOGO! Intelligent controller as the core of hardware platform, the development of the control software, and the system is simulated and validated, finally through the joint hardware and software debugging and practical operation, the system run stable and reliable work, and can switch reset and the weather conditions to realize the automatic open Ing and closing of the automatic tracking system of control function
