Design and positional posture analysis of parallel sun auto-tracking mechanism
A new type of 3-DOF sun parallel tracker was designed to track the sun all-around and to maximize its effective output powers. By using the cardan joint on a triangular platform to transfer the most of the weights of solar panels to the stand and to change the positional posture of the solar panels in all direction through three thin steel ropes
the track mechanism could reduce the electrical power consumption of own motor and could generate more efficient powers. Firstly
the forward position equations of the 3-DOF parallel tracker were established based on the theory of coordinate transformation. And then the forward position equations were solved by Newton's iterative method numerically. Finally
the space positional posture was measured and analyzed with the theory of the space parallel projection to verify the accuracy of the forward position equations. A driven energy experiment was performed to contrast the power consumption between the designed mechanism and a traditional two-axis tracker. The experimental results show that the established forward position equations and measured results have the same trend basically
and the average errors of output positional postures for space angles
and distance
z
B
are 1.8%
2.6%
0.84%
respectively. This accuracy can meet the requirements of the tracking mechanism for errors. Moreover
the power consumption of the designed tracking mechanism is about 25% that of the traditional two-axis tracker.
