IOT based solar tracking system for monitoring load via Mobile App
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummarySolar tracking system:
The invention of solar tracking system helps us improve the performance of pv solar system in a simple way. Used relative method sunlight strength established a model of automatic tracking system to keep vertical contact between solar panel and sunlight. Improved the utilization rate of solar energy and efficiency of photovoltaic power generation system.
Project Objectives1) To make efficeient solar tracking system.
2) To design a efficent battery backup using PMMT charger.
3) To tracking solar postion for getting maximum efficiency.
Project Implementation MethodSolar panel
It's made up of a number of solar cells connected in series internally convert solar energy to electricity
Based on photo voltaic effect
LDR SENSORS
A high resistance semiconductor whose resistance decrease with increasing incident light intensity
Arduino
Arduino is an open source electronics prototyping plat from with easy to use hardware and software
Programmed by the IDE that serves as a code editor and from which the program code can be uploaded to the micro controller through a USB cable
The Arduino mega board is utilized to implement all soft ware requirements of the IOT based solar trackers
Gyroscope
Gyroscope sensor module is complete 6 axis motion tracking device. It combines 3 axis gyroscope 3axis accelerometer and digital motion processor all in small package
