DEVELOPMENT OF PORTABLE DUAL AXIS SOLAR TRACKER

As for this week, I managed to complete my Progress Report (Logbook via Blog) through email. I already submitted my proposal report last week. In this blog, I listed out all my activities throughout the semester. The progress on the project is done smoothly without much problems. Conclusion: The proposal and progress report has been submitted completely to Dr Jawad. I did not continue to write my progress on week 17 because I have completed all the work that have to be finished this semester.

In this week, students sumbit a complete FYP proposal Report to supervisor and do a plagiarism check. The plagiarism shall not be greater than 20%. I managed to complete the proposal and submit it the end of the week. I checked the plagiarism myself by using an online website, which is Smart SEO Tools. Conclusion: My plagiarism didn't exceed 20% and its fulfill the plagiarism criteria.

For week 14, I search the future work that related to my project. Future Work Figure 2.4: Design and Implementation of Automated Solar Tracking System This project proposes an algorithm to detect the sun’s location and implement this control algorithm on a single solar tracking system with single axis. The tracker consists of a photovoltaic panel and adjusts its surface to the right angle to the sun in order to obtain as much photonic energy as possible to turn it into electrical energy. Solar power is one of renewable energy’s most traditional sources. The sun’s energy is infinite. But the main challenge remains in effectively optimizing the amount of energy to absorb the rays from the sun and directly convert energy to electricity. The introduction of a solar tracking system for solar panels is one way to increase performance. This is done to ensure that the sun’s rays fall perpendicularly on the solar panel and collect the full solar energy available. The sensors tra...
