针对现有光电传感器存在形式单一、跟踪精度不高、运行稳定性较差等不足,该文通过对光电传感器进行结构设计,设计了一种金字塔式和箱体式嵌套的粗-精跟踪光电传感器,其中箱体式可拆卸、单独使用,其内部的凹面镜利用反射作用有效减小了箱体高度,保证了跟踪过程中的跟踪精度和运行稳定性.在对该传感器的电路进行设计时,选取四运放集成电路 LM324 为核心,利用其比较作用来控制电机驱动执行机构,从而使聚光系统对准太阳.利用MATLAB/Simulink对模糊PID(proportional integration differentiation,比例-积分-微分)控制器建模和仿真,与PID控制相比,模糊PID控制曲线的响应时间较短,在0.1 s时给系统一个宽度为0.1的矩形脉冲干扰,在0.1~0.2 s之间系统的响应曲线、控制误差的响应曲线以及控制器的输出变化曲线呈现不同的变化;在0.2 s时,均达到稳定状态.通过分析可知,无论是否存在干扰,该控制方法均能使控制器迅速达到稳定状态,减少系统响应时间,从而减少系统的运行成本.该研究为太阳自动跟踪系统的稳定运行和跟踪精度的提高提供了参考.
Solar power is the ideal use of solar energy. It is better to adopt tracking mode to track the sun automatically, and the solar receiver can get more solar energy for tracking system lets incident sunlight keep parallel to collector. The auto-tracking modes include program tracking mode, photoelectric tracking mode and hybrid tracking mode. Considering that program tracking mode has accumulative error although it can be all-weather tracking, and photoelectric sensor tracking has better tracking sensitivity and higher tracking precision only in the sunny day, solar auto-tracking system generally adopts hybrid tracking mode which is a combination of program tracking mode and photoelectric sensor tracking mode; for photoelectric sensor tracking mode eliminates accumulated error of program tracking mode, the system can achieve the goal of all-weather high-precision tracking. In this mode, photoelectric tracking mode uses light intensity detection information of photoelectric sensor to adjust the tracking system's position, so the design of photoelectric sensor's structure can directly affect solar auto-tracking system's tracking accuracy and running stability. At present, the most widely used types of photoelectric sensor are baffled type, pyramidal type, tube type, etc. Baffled type photoelectric sensor is vertically arranged on the base; making use of barrier, when there exists the included angle between barrier and incident light, light sensors on both sides will receive different light intensity, and then sun position can be determined. It has lower price and convenient installation with simple structure, but its motor rotates frequently and the system has lower tracking accuracy, for it is easily affected by external lights from different directions. Pyramidal type photoelectric sensor makes full use of cosine principle, and the light exposure to silicon photocell of the pyramid side, is equal to the area multiplied by incident light angle cosine. Even though its accuracy is higher than baffled
