In order to solve the problems, such as that traditional energy is limited, while in view of the protection of ecological environment, at present countries in the world effort
Carry out to sustainable, cleaning new energy development and utilization, such as solar power generation.Although solar energy has many good qualities, still
Many problems are still had in terms of utilization, distinct issues the most are exactly the not high problem of photoelectric conversion efficiency.This is asked
Topic can be accounted for and be studied in terms of two:On the one hand it is to use the higher photoelectric conversion material of transfer efficiency, this is still needed to
Research worker is wanted to research and develop for a long time;On the other hand it is the receiving efficiency for improving solar energy, it can using the prior art
To solve the problems, such as this.
Currently, sunlight trace mode mainly has photo-electric and mechanical two ways.Photo-electric is by photaesthesia material
Material converts optical signals to electric signal, and detection electric signal judges that the real time position of the sun, last driving motor rotate corresponding axis
It follows spot to realize.It is mechanically position of sun to be calculated by program, control corresponding motor chases after using time and Position Latitude as parameter
The track sun.Above two mode still remains some technical problems in practical applications:The anti-interference ability of photo-electric tracking
Weaker, precision is relatively low;Mechanical trace mode causes effect not fully up to expectations because of the increase of accumulated error.
The shortcomings that in order to make up above two control mode, novel solar tracking technology continuously emerge.At present it is novel with
Track technology mainly has following two:
(1)Framing tracks:Framing tracking is a kind of determining too by the track of sun image of processing capture
The elevation angle and azimuthal method of sun.In tropic of cancer northern area, do not surpassed according to the azimuthal variation of solar motion track
The characteristics of crossing 180 ° obtains the aerial sun image in day within the scope of 180 ° using panoramic shooting, and by carrying out a system to the image
Row analyzing processing identifies the central point of solar facula, so that it is determined that the azimuth of the sun and elevation angle, are realized to position of sun
Accurate positionin.
This method tracking accuracy is very high, and wide range of measurement, but needs to carry out shooting image quick and effective
Processing, to system performance requirements height, cost is also high, with the further promotion of processor processing capacity, in solar tracking side
Face will be used widely.
(2)Rotatory current tracks:This method is that the short circuit current generated in view of solar cell rotation is alternating current
Feature decomposes it, unrelated with sunray incidence angle according to short circuit current reflecting component, short circuit current incident components with
Angle between solar cell plane normal and incident ray is at cosine relation, by solar cell rotating around z-axis, x-axis rotation
And azimuth and initial phase are measured, the relation curve of elevation angle and initial phase utilizes the side of DFT operation detection waveform initial phases
Method, calculates sunny elevation angle and azimuth, realizes to solar azimuth from motion tracking.
Its advantage is that application element thereof is few, wide range of measurement is simple in structure, cheap, has very strong practicability;Directly
Using discrete Fourier transform(DFT)Solve short circuit current initial phase, improve the accuracy of tracking system, avoid due to
The problem of inconsistency of polylith light-sensitive element is brought reduces the cost of electricity-generating of photovoltaic generating system.
Compared to photo-electric, mechanical tracking technique, the novel solar tracking technology of above two can effectively promote light
The tracking effect of electric-type, mechanical solar tracking, but since complicated algorithm is to the higher feature of system performance requirements, fail
To extensive use.In conclusion existing solar tracking technology fails fully to meet actual needs, so research application range
Extensively, it is extremely urgent to track solar tracking system accurate, simple in structure, at low cost.
