Abstract


The Solar tracking system has an important role in solar photovoltaic systems; it increases the generated energy. Different solar tracking systems like horizontal axis continuous adjustment tracking system, two axis adjustment tracking system, vertical axis continuous adjustment tracking have been analyzed in Kurnool Solar Plant situated in Andhra Pradesh, India. This Kurnool Solar Plant is located in 15°40.9'N, 78°17.0'E and it has been chosen because it has been well equipped with an average solar radiation of 5.51 kWh/m2/day. The status of Generic flat plate PV, converter and grid is analyzed for different tracking systems. The result helps to know the performance of different tracking systems in Kurnool Solar Plant, Andhra Pradesh. The energy purchased and sold every month for a year has been analyzed for different tracking systems when the Solar PV system has been connected to the grid. The 20kW solar power plant in Kurnool Solar Plant station connected to grid using fixed and two axis tracking system are compared and the result has been calculated for various estimated losses in the system.
