چکیده
The paper presents researches in the field of increasing the efficiency of the solar energy conversion in electric energy. The idea is to design a dual-axis tracking system, which changes the position of the photovoltaic panel in order to maximize the solar radiation degree of use. The daily motion is driven by a rotary motor, and for the seasonal motion a linear actuator is used. The tracking system is approached in mechatronic concept, by integrating the control system in the mechanical model. The analysis is made using a virtual prototyping platform that includes the following software: CAD CATIA, MBS ADAMS/View, Command & Control ADAMS/Controls and MATLAB/Simulink. The behavior of the tracking system is evaluated from energetic efficiency point of view.
