Description

Seguidor solar en dos ejes.Two-axis solar tracker.

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un seguidor solar para paneles solares fotovoltaicos o térmicos, de manera que dichos paneles solares queden continuamente perpendiculares a los rayos del sol para conseguir maximizar la captación de energía.The present invention relates to a follower solar for photovoltaic or thermal solar panels, so that said solar panels are continuously perpendicular to the rays of the sun to maximize energy capture.

Es objeto de esta invención tratar de conseguir un seguidor solar con accionamiento neumático o hidráulico de fácil fabricación, sencillez de montaje y bajo consumo energético de operación.It is the object of this invention to try to achieve a solar tracker with easy pneumatic or hydraulic drive manufacturing, simplicity of assembly and low energy consumption of operation.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

La utilización de paneles solares fotovoltaicos para la producción de energía eléctrica tanto en lugares remotos aislados de la red eléctrica como en instalaciones conectadas a la red ha experimentado un auge en los últimos años.The use of photovoltaic solar panels for the production of electrical energy both in remote places isolated from the power grid as in facilities connected to the Network has experienced a boom in recent years.

La variación de la dirección de los rayos solares a lo largo del día y del año da lugar a que la disposición de los paneles fotovoltaicos sobre estructuras orientables conocidas como seguidores solares consiga aumentar la producción eléctrica anual hasta en un cuarenta por ciento respecto a estructuras con orientación fija.The variation of the direction of the rays solar throughout the day and year results in the provision of photovoltaic panels on adjustable structures known as solar trackers increase production annual electricity up to forty percent compared to structures with fixed orientation.

La disposición de paneles solares térmicos sobre seguidores solares para la producción de calor no está tan difundida como en el caso de los paneles solares fotovoltaicos, limitándose en la actualidad exclusivamente a grandes centrales termosolares de alta temperatura. Sin embargo los recientes avances en colectores térmicos de alto rendimiento para baja temperatura indican una tendencia hacia el montaje sobre seguidores solares en pequeñas instalaciones para conseguir unos incrementos de producción similares a los de la energía solar fotovoltaica.The arrangement of solar thermal panels on solar trackers for heat production is not so disseminated as in the case of photovoltaic solar panels, currently limited exclusively to large plants high temperature solar thermal. However recent advances in high performance thermal collectors for low temperature indicate a tendency towards mounting on solar trackers in small facilities to get some increments of production similar to those of photovoltaic solar energy.

Son muchos los diseños de seguidores solares que pueden encontrarse actualmente en el mercado. La gran mayoría accionados por motores eléctricos y complicados sistemas de engranajes especialmente diseñados para conseguir pequeñas velocidades de giro como requiere el movimiento relativo entre el sol y la Tierra.There are many designs of solar trackers that They can be currently in the market. The vast majority powered by electric motors and complicated systems of gears specially designed to get small turning speeds as required by the relative movement between the Sun and Earth.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

La invención objeto de la presente memoria consiste en una estructura orientable que puede girar en dos ejes, uno norte-sur y otro este-oeste, con accionamiento neumático o hidráulico según las dimensiones de la superficie que se quiera orientar.The invention object of the present specification It consists of an adjustable structure that can rotate in two axes, one north-south and one east-west, with pneumatic or hydraulic drive according to the dimensions of the surface to be oriented.

La estructura orientable esta formada por unas vigas de tubo estructural sobre la que se disponen los paneles fotovoltaicos, estando dichas vigas unidas a un tubo dispuesto en la dirección norte-sur.The adjustable structure is formed by structural tube beams on which the panels are arranged photovoltaic, said beams being attached to a tube arranged in The north-south direction.

El tubo anterior puede girar dentro de otro tubo más corto con lo que se consigue orientar el plano que forman los paneles solares en la dirección este-oeste. Este movimiento se consigue con un sistema formado por una corona dentada solidaria al tubo corto y un conjunto formado por una cremallera dentada y uno o varios cilindros neumáticos o hidráulicos unidos a las vigas.The anterior tube can rotate inside another tube shorter so that you can orient the plane formed by the solar panels in the east-west direction. This movement is achieved with a system formed by a crown gear solidarity with the short tube and a set formed by a zipper toothed and one or more pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders attached to the beams.

La velocidad de giro de un tubo respecto al otro en su funcionamiento normal es tan baja que hace que no sea necesaria la utilización de soportes de eje basados en rodamientos y sea suficiente con engrasar las superficies rozantes, siendo esta una de las principales ventajas de la presente invención frente a otros diseños.The speed of rotation of one tube with respect to the other in its normal operation it is so low that it does not necessary the use of bearings based on shaft supports and it is enough to grease the friction surfaces, this being one of the main advantages of the present invention over Other designs

Para orientar el plano de los paneles solares en la dirección norte-sur, el tubo corto tiene adosadas dos placas que disponen de un orificio donde se aloja un eje que permite la basculación del conjunto descrito anteriormente al pilar soporte. Este movimiento se realiza con otro cilindro neumático o hidráulico.To orient the plane of the solar panels in the north-south direction, the short tube has attached two plates that have a hole where a axis that allows the tilt of the set described above to the support pillar. This movement is done with another cylinder pneumatic or hydraulic

El control de los cilindros hidráulicos para conseguir la orientación óptima del seguidor puede realizarse con sensores electrónicos y elementos hidráulicos ampliamente disponibles en el mercado.The control of hydraulic cylinders for achieve optimal follower orientation can be done with electronic sensors and hydraulic elements widely available in the market.

Todos los elementos que forman este seguidor solar pueden ser conseguidos con facilidad entre almacenes de perfiles metálicos y establecimientos de suministro industrial.All the elements that make up this follower solar can be easily obtained between warehouses metal profiles and industrial supply establishments.
