Definitions

  • the systems and methods described herein are generally related to the energy sector and electrical energy production by photovoltaic panels with a solar tracker.
  • the orientation of the photovoltaic panels perpendicular to the sun provides greater output compared to fixing the photovoltaic panels to a static support structure.
  • the considerable cost of these energy capture devices and conversion into electricity justifies the greater complexity and prices of these moving support structures.
  • the moving support structures provide the associated photovoltaic panels with a daily east-west movement that is based on an axis with a determined inclination.
  • the determined inclination may correspond to the elevation angle (N-S orientation) which depends on the area's latitude, while the movement of the azimuth angle (E-W orientation) is almost always achieved with an electrical-mechanical operation.
  • Many of these trackers are driven by two gear motors which allow movements operated with electric motors.
  • the tracker positioning can be controlled in open loop with trajectory predetermined by a clock included in the control system, predetermined in a fixed movement throughout each day of the year, or in a closed loop by angular position coders or light sensors of the sun position with respect to the panel.
  • FIG. 1 shows a general perspective view of a tracker in accordance with one non-limiting embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a collector support structure in accordance with one non-limiting embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 shows a front view of the movement structure in E-W direction, referred to herein as module A, in accordance with one non-limiting embodiment.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show front views of module A in various rotated positions.
  • FIG. 6 shows a side view of the movement structure in N-S direction, referred to herein as module B, in accordance with one non-limiting embodiment.
  • FIG. 7 shows a front view of module B in a rotated position, in accordance with one non-limiting embodiment.
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a complete tracker, in accordance with one non-limiting embodiment.
  • One embodiment comprises a two-axis hydraulic solar tracker that orientates and adjusts the angular position of associated solar collector panels. In some embodiments, there may be a 30 and 40% increase in energy capture compared to fixed panel arrangements.
  • the tracker may be hydraulically operated, and therefore not use an electric or gear motor. In some embodiments, all movements of the tracker are produced by three hydraulic cylinders placed in the arrangement shown in FIG. 1 .
  • This tracking device can be part of an collection of trackers.
  • the movement speed of the track may be relatively slow and the motor pump unit for the hydraulic system may only require a small capacity. Therefore, several of the trackers may all use the same hydraulic system (i.e. a single motor pump unit).
  • the movement mechanism of the tracker can be made with very light materials, such as composite materials made of thermostable resins and glass fiber. Support members of the movement mechanism are used as substitutes for traditional materials such as galvanized steel, painted or stainless, aluminum and concrete which are used in other trackers.
  • composite materials may have substantial advantages compared to traditional materials, such as versatility, functionality, ease of assembly and lack of maintenance, and lack of corrosion issues. Additionally, the use of hydraulic cylinders and the ability of either using a single pump for a single system or for several systems, makes this system a cheap, low weight option for solar panel solar tracking.
  • the hydraulically operated two-axis tracker may be comprise of a support frame of the collector panels (illustrated in FIG. 2 ), a movement structure with two-axis rotation using three cylinders, and a carrying and anchoring base mounted to the ground or other surface.
  • the structure support of the panels may have dimensions suitable for the number of panels used with the tracker.
  • the support structure may be formed by metal or synthetic composite support members joined by a suitable fixing system.
  • the dimensions of these support members shall be those required to support the panel weight and the stress caused by the wind at a maximum speed in the installation area.
  • the movement structure may also be composed of the same steel or synthetic material, in some embodiments, square tubes can be used, of suitable dimensions for the number of panels.
  • This system can also be separated in two modules, module A allows the movement of the tracker in accordance with east-west orientation, and module B allows us the north-south orientation.
  • module A may be formed by a long central support member 1 .
  • the central support member 1 may have ball joints 2 with one degree-of-freedom at its ends.
  • Another two central support members 3 may be coupled to the ball joint 2 .
  • These central support members 3 may be smaller that central support member 1 and identical to one another.
  • the central support member 4 may also be coupled to the panel support structure with ball joints 4 .
  • Module A may also comprise two hydraulic cylinders 5 .
  • One of the ends of two cylinders 5 may be coupled to the central support members 3 and the other ends may be coupled to the central support member 1 with ball joints 6 .
  • the cylinders 5 permit movement of the parallelepiped by rotation of the ball joints its four vertices.
  • a piece 7 may be placed with a bore and a friction bearing or bushing which enable the east-west rotation of the module A.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show front views of module A in varying rotational positions.
  • module B may be formed by a structure which generally may have a V-shape composed of two central support members 8 of identical length, joined at one of their ends. The other ends of the central support members 8 may be joined to the panel support structure by ball joints 9 having one degree-of-freedom.
  • a solid shaft 10 may be joined to the two central support members 8 and may be used join module B to module A through the piece 7 , thereby allowing for relative movement between the two modules that are generally situated in two perpendicular planes.
  • a bored piece 11 may be is positioned at the joining point of the two central support members 8 which form the V.
  • An end of a hydraulic cylinder 12 may be coupled to at least one of the central support members 8 with the other end of the cylinder 12 coupled to the tracker support structure. As illustrated in FIG. 7 , such configuration enables the north-south movement of the panel support structure.
  • the tracker support structure may be formed by a tower 13 , for example, or any other suitable tower of frame of the necessary height according to the dimensions of the upper platform and the obstacles and shadows of the surroundings.
  • a ball joint 14 may be coupled to the tower 13 at an upper end to join module B and the tower 13 .
  • the opposite end of the tower is anchored to the ground or other surface.
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a complete tracker, in accordance with one non-limiting embodiment.
  • the tracker's movements may controlled by an processor 20 that manages all the information supplied to it by sensors 22 . Through this information, the positioning of the panels may be maintained perpendicular to the solar energy.
  • the tracker may comprise a real-time clock 24 for calculating the solar coordinates at all times. Additionally, the tracker may comprise an energy diagnosis and supervision module 26 . In some embodiments, the tracker may have a network connection 28 in communication with a remote supervision and security system 30 .
