Title: Floating solar power generating system using geomagnetic sensor and controlling method thereofPublication number: KR 100999934 (B1)Publication date: December 9, 2010Applicant(s): Korea Scada Co. Ltd (KR)
Abstract: Purpose: A solar power generation system on the water and a method for controlling the same are provided to improve the generation efficiency of a system by measuring the current azimuth of the system using the terrestrial magnetism sensor. Constitution: A floating frame is composed of a floating body and is floated on the water by the buoyancy. A panel array regulates the tilted angle of a solar cell panel according to the dinurnal motion of the sun using a tilting unit. A sail regulates the direction of the floating frame based on the speed of wind. A screw unit controls the direction of the floating frame. A controlling unit controls the sail and the screw unit.
Title: Sensor device and solar power generatorPublication number: JP 2010230604 (A)Publication date: October 14, 2010Applicant(s): Mizuho Information & Res. Inst.
Abstract: Problem to be solved: To provide a sensor device and a solar power generator allowing a solar battery panel to accurately track a movement of the sun and efficiently generate power. Solution: The solar power generator includes the solar battery panel constituted of a plurality of solar battery modules, and a control device. The sensor device is installed in the center of this solar battery panel. A control section of the control device processes an acquisition of an electromotive force of each sensor in tracking control processing and determines whether a measurement value of a central sensor is the highest value. If the measurement value of the central sensor is not the highest value, the control section uses each drive section to change a panel direction. If the measurement value of the central sensor is the highest value, the control section periodically repeats the tracking control processing.
Title: Singlechip based solar cell automatic tracking device and control method thereofPublication number: CN 101969280 (A)Publication date:February 9, 2011Applicant(s): Univ. Jiangsu
Abstract: The invention relates to a singlechip based solar cell automatic tracking device which belongs to the field of optical, mechanic and electric integrated automatic control. In the invention, a sun position detection device and a double-axis mechanical tracking and positioning device are designed, and a control circuit is used for carrying out operation amplification and A/D processing on a sun position signal detected by a sensor and then transmitting the signal to a singlechip; the singlechip is used for sending out a pulse command and a direction command to control the running speed and the direction of a motor to track the sun in real time; meanwhile, the running speed and the direction of a tracker are adjusted in time according to a feedback signal of a photosensor, and a component is controlled through the feedback signal to decide when to brake the tracking device. The whole device adopts a method of combining stepwise tracking with sequential tracking. By adopting the method, the tracking error of the whole device is within the range of ±5 degrees, and compared with continuous tracking and detection, the energy is saved.
