Sun position computed by Michalsky shows maximum $1.5^{\circ}$, $0.88^{\circ}$ and 2 minutes differences in azimuth, altitude, and sunrise and sunset times respectively compared with Korean Almanac. The 2-axis solar tracking system, which consist control panel with ATmega128 CPU, BLDC motor-cylinder actuator and 2-axis link mechanism, was developed. Computed azimuth and altitude of sun for a current time, and latitude and longitude of tracker position built are controlled in real time by BLDC motor-cylinder actuators comparing with the position feed-backed by Hall sensor. The use of BLDC motor is free in maintenance. Implementation of a home-return function by Hall sensor is to minimize the cumulative error.

This paper presents a study on the DSP(Digital Signal Processor) controller for the PBW(power-by-wire) system using BLDC(Brushless Direct Current) servo motor pump. The PBW hydraulic actuator was realized with hydraulic pump driven by BLDC servo motor, hydraulic cylinder and controller. This PBW system needs speed control of servo motor for linear thrust action of hydraulic cylinder. This paper implements a servo controller with vector control algorithm and MIN-MAX PWM technique. As CPU of a controller, TMS320F2812 DSP was adopted because it has PWM waveform generator, A/D converter, SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) port and many input/output port etc.

Hall sensors of BLDC(brushless DC) motor are used to detect a position information for a control mechanism, which implements an algorithm for velocity and position control. Actual azimuth and altitude were measured to evaluate a control precision. The measurement revealed comparatively good accuracy that the measured values were $2.02^{\circ}$ and $1.01^{\circ}$ respectively, and the maximum error falls within $1.86^{\circ}$. The developed monitoring system of photovoltaic generation plants is a LCU(Local Control Unit) based on an integrated monitoring system which supports 1:N method for multiple simultaneous connections, remote control and real-time system state monitoring.
