Design and Realization of Solar Energy Maximum Power Point Automatic Tracking System

Aiming at the low generating efficiency of the current solar energy generating system, solar energy maximum power point tracking control system based on STC89C52 is designed and made. The photoelectric detection and tracking is adopted as the control mode in the system. By using stepping motor as driving mechanism, comprehensive trace of the sun is realized by controlling the movement of tracking mechanism in the horizontal and pitching directions. Based on this, real-time detection of wind velocity and change of wind direction is realized by wind velocity and direction transducer which is equipped on the tracking mechanism, which makes the system automatically avoid the typhoon above level 8 to weaken the damage to panel by the storm. The experiment results of model machine indicate that the system has reliable performance which can satisfy the need of auto-solar track, it can also make the panel orient towards east again after darkness to realize daily circular run and it is of relatively high practical value.
