Sažetak
Produced energy of Photovoltaic (PV) cells depends on solar radiation. Thus, the highest share of the solar radiation to the surface of the PVs is essential. This paper presents a new control strategy to maximize the output energy of dual axis sun tracking. In this procedure, the optimal trajectory of the tracking system is determined based on a bounded optimization problem. The optimal tilt and azimuth angles of PV are calculated using swarm based optimization algorithms and an objective function that is suggested based on time dependent solar radiation prediction. This prediction uses the length of a sunbeam’s path through the atmosphere. The proposed approach is simulated by MATLAB software using Bee optimization algorithm and the results are compared with the Differential Evolution (DE), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and fixed panel results. The results show that the proposed method increases the electrical energy production within photovoltaic systems.
