Is there a dual-axis tracking control system for a small dish/stirling system (SDSS)?

This paper presents a dual-axis tracking control system for a Small Dish/Stirling System (SDSS). The sun trajectory tracking algorithm was applied for all-weath

Can a sun-tracking system Orient a parabolic dish?

A two axis sun-tracking system capable of orienting the parabolic dish is thus required to compensate the apparent movement of the sun in the sky. Several support structure and sun-tracking system designs exist. The PDSC considered in this article has an altitude-on-azimuth configuration, schematized on Fig. 2.

What is a parabolic dish solar concentrator?

Parabolic dish solar concentrators (PDSC) are a CSP system composed of a reflective surface shaped as a paraboloid of revolution (i.e., a parabolic dish), a support structure, a receiver and a sun-tracking system. The entire sun irradiation that impacts the parabolic dish is reflected towards its focus, where the receiver is placed.

Does sun-tracking system affect PDSC efficiency?

V. CONCLUSION The sun-tracking system is a fundamental component of the Parabolic Dish Solar Concentrators. Its performance affects greatly the PDSC efficiency. A complete azimuth-altitude sun-tracking system design – mechanical and control – was presented, as well as the accomplished constructive stages. Fig. 10. Sun-tracking system prototype.

How does a parabolic dish work?

The entire sun irradiation that impacts the parabolic dish is reflected towards its focus, where the receiver is placed. This energy concentration allows the PDSCs to achieve temperatures as high as 1500 oC , .
