SIMATIC S7-1200 Solar Tracker Control Architecture (Tang, 2014) This process is conducted through the solar tracking and the calculation of the alignment for single axis tracking libraries, depending on whether the system is single or dual axis. The Siemens SPA (Solar Position Algorithm) calculates the azimuth and zenith.
This is the true position of the sun as seen from an observer on the surface of the earth. From fig. A solar tracking system refers to a system which is able to track the movement of the sun throughout the day for maximum energy efficiency and have it at a perpendicular angle to the plane of the solar panel.
CPU and the programming tools allow users to design autonomous industrial processes and solve automation problems. Based on this specific application and its user-friendly programming tool and troubleshooting solutions, Siemens’ PLC hardware and software were found to be the right fit for the automatic solar tracking application in this project.
A PLC type s7-200 from Siemens, a Human Machine Interface (HMI), an analog extension module (EM) , a temperature sensor type Pt100 and an inexpensive system for measuring solar radiation and applications of solar energy [8, 9,10] were used in this simulation.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
