A Novel Approach to Track Solar Movement for Optimised Power Generation
The global demand for sustainable & efficient energy solution is increasing day by day. Though there are many ways to achieve the raising demand, every researcher & technologist is exploring the greener way to envisage the gravitating situation. The renewable energy is the need of the hour alternate to generate power rather than using our conventional methods such as using, Coal, Petroleum, Nuclear, etc. This energy is produced from the sources that are abundant in nature and does not pose threat to our environment, such as the Sun, Wind, and Hydro. The power generation using Solar energy is attracting every stake holder because of the emerging technologies predominantly in the field of Solar panels, Batteries, Power Electronics, etc. In particular, many researches were carried out in Solar power technology to achieve an optimum power generation with the best of the available means. In light of the above, this research paper attempts to discover a novel modality to increase the efficiency of the solar power generation when compared to the technologies around the ecosphere. It is emphatically understood from the various attempted literature that the selection of the photo detector for tracking the solar rays plays a crucial role in achieving the endeavor. In this research, it is found that the photopically corrected photodetector in a dual monitoring gimbal assembly, which functions akin to a human eye substantially improves the tracking of the sun in the visible region compared to its peers which are responding to the non-interested invisible region. The analytical experimental data obtained using the above concept yielded noteworthy results which can adapted. This research work indeed not only provides the optimum & economic path to suffice the high demanding requirements but also to safeguard our precious mother earth for our successive generations.
