In essence, this automated solar tracking system stands as a pioneering solution that unlocks the full potential of solar resources. Its ability to adapt and optimize energy capture renders it an indispensable tool in the realm of sustainable energy generation, ushering in a greener and more efficient era of power production.
However, more advanced control and optimization schemes can be pursued in order to more fully leverage the thermal energy storage. Optimal control schemes can be implemented to minimize operating costs or maximize the total benefit that solar energy provides to the system.
Through accurate predictions of energy generation, systems can be designed to handle fluctuations and have a more stable and reliable output.Regression models for solar output power and battery SOC have been built using MATLAB's ANN ToolBox, with the input values being measured daily.
The improvements in solar share are more meager on cloudy days. However, during intermittent cloud cover, the main benefit of thermal energy storage is the ability to maintain a constant power output by using the storage tank as a buffer between available energy and energy demand.
The load linked to the system is kept constant during this procedure. The energy management of PV systems is an important issue when studying renewable energy. One of the methods to control this process is by using an ANN.
