Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleOn the Design and Construction of a Dual Axis Solar Tracker Prototype for a Dish Concentrator using ATMega3298P MicrocontrollerAlbright Abu Edet, Samaila Umaru, Isah IbrahimThe desire for reliable power supply is the reason for further research into alternative sources of power. Although solar tracking is not a new technology, yet solar harvesters still suffer low efficiency due to the intermittence of solar insolation. Thus many smart systems have been designed to maximise solar harvesters. Among the systems is the dual axis solar tracking system. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2021 · 7,248 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDeveloping a Prototype for Sun Tracker System Based on IoT: Controlled by Mobile App and Online Database MonitoringIsmail Ismail Yusuf Panessai, Muhammad Modi bin Lakulu, Siva Kumar A/L Subramaniam et al.IoT (Internet of Things) has become a separate research field since the development of internet technology and other communication media. IoT optimizes several tools such as sensor media radio frequency identification, wireless sensor networks and other smart objects that allow humans to easily interact with all devices connected to the internet network. The purpose of this research is to build … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2019 · 8,766 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Solar Tracking System by Using Digital Solar Position SensorSingthong PattanasethanonProblem statement: An optimal control on two axes and design for solar tracker which called altitude and azimuth is challenge. Approach: The phototransistor with the shade that blocks the screen was employed as a detector of solar beam radiation. The height of the screen determined the sensitivity operation or period of tracking in this solar tracker. The phototransistor is particularly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 10,171 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSolar Radiation at Total Solar Eclipse, 29-March 2006, at TobruqA. H. Hassan, U. Ali RahomaProblem statement: Measurement of the different components of solar radiation and fractions of these components for the global (horizontal and tracker), direct (white and three colors, yellow, red and infrared) and diffuse solar radiation during the solar eclipse, 29 March 2006 at Tobruq, Libya (Lat. 32.08°N and Long. 23.98°E). The time interval of solar eclipse was 2 h: 40 m … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,824 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCritical Retrospect on Conventional and Luminescent Solar Concentration DevicesHamzah Abdul-Rahman, Chen WangProblem statement: Conventional solar concentrators are only sensitive for the beam radiation and they function poorly in overcast sky conditions. Even under a clear sky condition, trackers are always needed for conventional solar concentrators. Static concentrators always come with a poor concentration rate without a tracker and the light concentrated by normal Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSC) could not be transported … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,924 accessesView PDF Cite
