Design and implementation of analog controllers for a solar tracker

At present, a reasonable use of energy represents a fundamental aspect. Therefore it is important to develop devices and equipment that facilitates the accomplishment of this goal. This paper shows the design and implementation of different drivers for a solar tracking system. This solar tracker is designed to take measurements of solar energy harvesting. In this paper we describe and explain various devices, namely an onoff controller, a proportional controller and a compensator, which has a pole-zero and gain that can be optimized using genetic algorithms and particle swarms.
