The sun positioning system is based on the calculated azimuth and altitude at location E100 11′, N6 26′ in Northern Peninsular Malaysia where the climate is categorized as tropical climate. The system has two axes tracking with accuracy of 1 controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC). The field test has been done during a sunny and clear day, cloudy day and, heavy overcast and rainy day in which the results show that the improvement in the generated power of 91.97%, 122.71% and 90.42%, respectively, as compared with the fixed horizontal system. 2014-03-10T07:38:11Z 2014-03-10T07:38:11Z 2013 Article Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, vol. 28, 2013, pages 635-642 1364-0321 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032113004899 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/32482 en Elsevier Ltd. |
