DESIGN OF DUAL AXIS SOLAR TRACKER SYSTEM BASED ON FUZZY INFERENCE SYSTEMS
DESIGN OF DUAL AXIS SOLAR TRACKER SYSTEM BASED ON FUZZY INFERENCE SYSTEMS Hamzah Hijawi and Labib Arafeh Arab American University, Jenin, Palestine ABSTRACT Electric power is a basic need in today’s life. Due to the extensive usage of power, there is a need to look for an alternate clean energy source. Recently many researchers have focused on the solar energy as a reliable alternative power source. Photovoltaic panels are used to collect sun radiation and convert it into electrical energy. Most of the photovoltaic panels are deployed in a fixed position, they are inefficient as they are fixed only at a specific angle. The efficiency of photovoltaic systems can be considerably increased with an ability to change the panels angel according to the sun position. The main goal of such systems is to make the sun radiation perpendicular to the photovoltaic panels as much as possible all the day times. This paper presents a dual axis design for a fuzzy inference approach-based solar track...
