Designing a PLC-Based Real-Time Sun Tracking System

Abstract

Energy costs and their harm to the environment constantly increase due to the limited nature of existing energy sources and increasing need for the energy. Renewable energy sources offer a new solution to the need for energy. Solar energy, which is one of the most important renewable energy sources, has witnessed significant developments in recent years. Solar tracking systems are used to increase the efficiency of PV systems which generate electricity using solar energy. Open loop control system was used in the application. A biaxial mechanism was designed to track solar movements in accordance
