hi guyz.... i am a hoobyist and designing a single axis solar tracker....
i am kind a stuck.....
Facts:
1)I am just monitoring the panel power
2)No sensor
3)Algo that i wanna use is P&O perturb and observe
4)the algo literrally involves a perturb and observe and continues to do so till the power gathered in the n step step is lesst than the power gathered in
n-1 step.... then it "moves back"
Problem:
i wana decrease this moving back.....so after the first two days data i wanna predict the angle of the sun..... for this prediction i am taking the average of the first two days data.... and then P&O will be apllied to just fine tune the panel....... thus i am hoping that the "MOVING BACK" will be reduced.... cause that is pure wastage of energy......
YOUR HELP:
i am kind ov stuck whether i am on the right track or not..... have i missed sumthing or is my approach kind a hoping against hope that angles can be predicted so easily???
Any advice will be welcomed
Thanx in advance
