본 논문에서는 PSA(position solar algorithm)을 이용하여 태양광 추적시스템의 발전 효율을 분석하였다. 태양의 위치 추적시스템은 자연환경 조건에 무관한 태양광 발전시스템에 매우 효과적으로 필요하다. 프로그램 방식의 태양광 추적시스템은 구름이나 대기 조건에 의해 일사량이 급하게 변할 경우에도 오동작 없이 정확하게 태양을 추적을 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 더욱 정확하게 태양의 위치를 추적하기 위한 PSA 알고리즘을 제시하고, 제시한 알고리즘을 이용하여 태양광 발전시스템의 효율을 분석한다. 또한 적용된 알고리즘에 의해 제어된 고도각 및 방위각을 한국 천문연구원에서 제공된 데이터와 비교한다. 본 논문에서는 고도각 및 방위각 제어의 오차와 적용된 알고리즘의 발전효율을 분석하고 결과를 통하여 적용된 알고리즘의 타당성을 입증한다.

Recently, worldwide government policy is pursuing saving energy and preservation. add to this, the solar cells are getting the spotlight nonpolluting energy source, using a variety of products for solar cell. in this paper, we'll make solar tracking system for suitable of dynamic boat. we knew that general boats are using fixed solar cell, it's first time to use tracking system of solar cells for boats so it is hard to application. To solve this problem in this paper we use to a magnetic compass and GPS for suitable solar tracking system of dynamic movement and to analyze fixed and tracking solar system. frist. solar tracking device is designed two-axis control system. one-axis control system is taken a magnetic compass for making efficiency defence solar tracking sensor, two-axis control system apply GPS latitude and longitude data for SPA(Solar position algorithm) so we know the azimuth and altitude. it analyze data value of accuracy comparison from result. so the proposed algorithm confirm to have validity.

Recently, interest in renewable energy is increased due to exhaustion of fossil fuel and environmental pollution all over the world, therefore the solar power generation using solar energy is many researched. The solar power generation is required solar tracking control and high concentration solar thermal collector because generation performance is depended on concentrator efficiency. This paper proposes high efficiency solar power generation with two-axis tracking control using dish-type solar thermal collector that has excellent thermal collector performance and tracking algorithm that can be accurately tracked solar position. This paper proves validity through analysis with accuracy of tracking algorithm and generating efficiency.

As the usage of sun tracking system in solar energy utilization facility increases, requirement of more accurate computation of sun position has also been increased. Accordingly, various algorithms to compute the sun position have been proposed in the literature and some of them insist that their algorithms guarantee less than 0.01 degree computational error. However, mostly, the true meaning of accuracy argued in their publication is not clearly explained. In addition to that, they do not clearly state under what condition the accuracy they proposed can be guaranteed. Such ambiguity may induce misunderstanding on the accuracy of the computed sun position and ultimately may make misguided notion on the actual sun tracking system's sun tracking accuracy. This work presents some comments related to the implementation of sun position computational algorithm for the sun tracking system. We first introduce the algorithms proposed in the literature. And then, from sun tracking system user's point of view, we explain the true meaning of accuracy of computed sun position. We also discuss how to select the proper algorithm for the actual implementation. We finally discuss how the input factors used in computation of sun position, like time, position etc, affect the computed sun position accuracy.

태양광 산업에 있어서 PV추적 발전장치의 개발은 고정식 발전장치에 비하여 효율적이다. 추적식 발전장치는 단위면적당 태양의 일사량을 유지하고, 태양 전지의 효율을 최대화 한다. 따라서 정확하면서 저렴한 태양 위치 추적장치의 경제성을 개선하는 것과 투자 가격을 내리는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 태양위치를 감지하는데 센서를 사용하지 않고 천문학과 수학을 이용하여 1분($0.016^{\circ}$)이내의 태양의 위치 알고리즘에 관한 것이다. 이 논문에 제안된 알고리즘은 장치의 비용을 내리고 발전효율도 높여준다. 지금까지 알고리즘을 적용한 결과를 고려하면, 최대오차는 30초 ($0.008^{\circ}$)를 보인다. 그리고 이 알고리즘으로 적용한 태양광 발전시스템은 고정식 대비 평균 23W(약18%)의 이득을 보였다.

There have been many developed systems for harnessing the solar energy such as solar water heaters, solar thermal power systems, PV systems, daylighting and solar hydrogen systems. all of them are capable of reducing $CO_2$ emission. However, the efficiency of those systems which work without a solar tracker is lower. This paper is a step by step procedure for fabrication and a performance test of a solar tracking system. The system developed in this study consists of motion controllers, motor drives, step-motors, feedback devices and application. CdS sensors are introduced into the solar tracking system for playing a primary role in poor conditions for tracking due to a gear backlash and a strong wind. Mini-dish was used as a concentrator for collecting sun light. The solar position data, in terms of azimuth and elevation, sunrise and sunset times was compared with those of KASI(Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute). The results presented in this article provide the high accuracy of the present system in solar tracking and indicate a potential for energy savings.

In this paper a novel tracking system is described, regarding the influence of shadow between array, aimed at improving the efficiency of PV tracking system. Comparing with a building site versus capacity power, domestic solar powers have a limited siting. Therefore, each array interferes with the shadow of other arrays. The loss by influence of those shadow can be compensated for by means of control algorithm of the tracking device. The paper suggests a method controlling an altitude for length which is received the shadow influence of PV array. By using an azimuth of current solar position and the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device is able to calculate the length between actual arrays and make a comparison of the shadow length at a specific time with the length between arrays. When the shadow length is longer than the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device can adjust a position by compensating error altitude of the length between arrays at an altitude of current solar position. In the paper, we develop the control algorithm able to minimize the loss caused by the influence of shadow on the PV tracking system, and compared this with conventional output system. The controller has been tested in the laboratory with proposed algorithm and shows excellent performance.
