Orientation Detection Method Based on Non-Imaging Concentrator System and Hyperparameter Search

The concentrator system is widely used in photovoltaic power generation technology. This letter introduces the concentrator system into orientation detection. It proposes an innovative method combining a non-imaging concentrator system, a data collection electronic system, and a deep residual network(ResNet) algorithm optimized through hyperparameter search. The concentrator system comprises a primary optical element(POE) and a secondary optical element(SOE) array, while the electronic system is built around a PIN photodiode array. Experimental results validate the feasibility of this novel orientation detection method for the first time. This research offers a fresh perspective and technical foundation for orientation detection and identification.
