Abstract

The field of photovoltaic has an amazing development for past two decades with clean and environment friendly nature, non conventional and renewable energy source. To increase the solar efficiency 90° angle should be maintained between panels and sun rays and to maintain this angle throughout the day solar tracking arrangement is necessary. In this paper a LQR based integral controller for angular position of sun tracking is introduced. LQR based methods for sun tracking proposed in this paper. The LQR model is designed by MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation result have come feasible for real implementation.
