The solar water heating system is one of the seven green campus items installed at the Gangneung campus of Gangneung-Wonju National University. The solar water heating system has two types of solar collectors, four storage tanks and monitoring equipment. Fixed and azimuth-tracking solar collectors were installed to collect heat from the sun. The amount of heat collected by the two different types of solar collectors was calculated from the temperature of the monitored storage tanks. Our results showed that the amount of solar heat collected by the azimuth-tracking solar collector was 19% greater on a sunny day and 23% greater on a rainy day than that collected by the fixed solar collector; therefore, the azimuth-tracking solar collectors are, on an average, 21% more efficient than the fixed solar collectors.

Ryu et al. proposed a multiple target angle-tracking algorithm with efficient equation for angular innovation, and Ryu's algorithm has good feature that it has no data association problem. Ryu's algorithm is only applicable to linear sensor array, because its efficient equation for angular innovation is derived in case of using a linear sensor array. In a many fields studying multiple target angle-tracking, the various shapes of sensor array are used. In sonar, a cylindrical sensor array is as much used as a linear sensor array, a example is hull mounted sonar. In this paper, Ryu's algorithm is modified to be applicable to cylindrical sensor array, and the tracking performance of a modified algorithm is verified by various computer simulations.

In this paper, a solar power tracking method using the solar cells is proposed, which has 3 solar cell located at an interval of $60^{\circ}$ in azimuth so that the sunlight may almost be perpendicular to the solar cells without excessive mechanical operation. Compared with the solar cell voltages in each azimuth, there is the highest voltage in time interval. As a results, this solar cell system achieve higher relative efficiency of $1.6{\sim}11.5%$ than fixed solar cell system. Therefore, it is verifying that this solar cell tracking system obtain more relative efficiency than fixed solar cell system for aid to navigation.

Recently, Ryu et al. proposed a multiple target angle tracking algorithm using the angular innovation extracted from the estimated signal subspace. This algorithm obtains the angles of targets and associates data simultaneously. Therefore, it has a simple structure without data association problem. However it requires the calculation of the inverse of a real matrix with dimension (2N+1)${\times}$(2N+1) to obtain the angular innovations of N targets. In this paper, a new linear equation for angular innovation is proposed using the fact that the projection error is zero when the target steering vector is projected onto the signal subspace. As a result, the proposed algorithm dose not require the matrix inversion and is computationally efficient.

While traditional two-axis tracking systems with double sensors had been using two sensors to control azimuth and elevation angle of the sun so that a solar cell module would make a normal line with the sun, this paper proposed a new two-axis system that can achieve the same performance with only one sensor in it. It is Two-axis tracking system that control azimuth and elevation to control to be reduced for solar cell module as proposed tracking system uses 1 sensors and the sun always forms normal. Two-axis tracking system of one sensor method that propose in paper that could reduce electric power consumption and sees than fixed type preventing action and the most efficient driving and needless drive could confirm that generation efficiency of about 23 [%] increases. To heighten efficiency of solar cell doing to receive more sunlights chasing the sun, done tracking device have proceeded a lot of studies in large size way. Therefore, is expected that will do big part in the sun tracking supply through utility study about persistent generation efficiency constructing monitoring system of the sun tracking of this paper.

이 논문에서는 등간격 선배열 감지기를 사용하여 근거리 표적의 위치 추정을 하는 연산량이 적은 효과적인 대수적 경로 추종 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 원거리 표적의 방위각 추적 알고리듬으로 근거리 표적의 방위각을 추정하면 추정된 방위각은 실제 근거리 표적의 방위각과 거리의 대수적 관계식으로 주어짐을 보였다. 2차원 MUSIC스펙트럼의 극대값을 찾기 위하여 두 개의 결합된 2차원 다항식으로부터 구한 경로를 추종하는 기존의 방식대신 에 이 대수적 관계식을 경로로 사용한다. L개의 감지기에 M개의 표적 신호가 도달하는 경 우, 제안한 알고리듬은 대수적 경로를 따라 M번의 1차원 탐색을 하므로 2차원 다항식으로 부터 경로를 구하여 2L-2번의 1차원 탐색을 하는 기존의 경로 추종 알고리듬보다 연산량을 줄일 수 있다.

The energy of PV system is different as the elevation and aximuth of the sun. This paper deals with the economical position tracking system development for the stand alone PV system. We have made more economical solar position tracking system which is used a tracking program than other similar systems. It is applied to the solar lighting lamp. We have made a comparative study of the energy amount between the fixed type and the tracking type during some period. The improved efficiency of the system is about 86 %.

This thesis introduced an azimuth tracking prismatic daylighting system. The system improved several issues of the previous passive prismatic daylighting system: low efficiency at sunrise and sunset, glare effect and polarized. The system was developed to track the movement of sun with azimuth tracking device, and it has its own power from the attached solar cells. We compared the with previous passive one in terms with system efficiency and daylighting factors(DF).

The objective of this research is to study the variation of optimum slope angles of collectors for seven regions in Korea, which are Seoul, Gangneung, Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju, Busan and Jeju. The results for 2000~2007 are analyzed to sec if adjustment of slope angles is necessary each year to receive maximum solar radiation. For an azimuth fixed solar collector, solar radiation of yearly optimized slope angle during May~Sept.(summer), Nov.~Mar.(winter) and the whole year are greater than the fixed slope angle by 0.03%, 0.02%, and 0.04%, respectively. For an azimuth tracking solar collector, solar radiation of yearly optimized slope angle during May~Sept.(slimmer), Nov.-Mar.(winter) and the whole year are greater than the fixed slope angle by 0.03%, 0.07%, and 0.04% respectively. It is unnecessary to adjust slope angles each year for both azimuth fixed and tracking collectors, since the gains are insignificant. Solar radiation of the azimuth tracking solar collector during May~Sept., Nov.~Mar. and the whole year are greater by 14.7%, 16.0%, and 19.2% than the azimuth fixed solar collector.
