Abstract


In recent years, because of the limitations of fossil fuels and emissions resulting from the use of photovoltaic cells increase. Due to the changing state of the sun, solar cells must follow the sun's radiation to receive more energy. But, in this research, the modeling and analysis of the solar tracking system were carried out to obtain the optimal angle in photovoltaic systems for generating maximum power using genetic algorithm (GA). In this paper, the control system is proposed by the GA genetic algorithm that optimizes the output energy of the PV system by adjusting the spatial angles of the solar panel in both vertical and horizontal axes. In this method, without the need for additional hardware, the optimal panel position angles are calculated by using the Matlab software to capture the most sun and maximize output energy. The main advantage is that the system operates discretely during operation and losses are reduced, as well as in the clouds, solar radiation is received and the output energy rises. The important results of this study can be the system is optimized, the output power of the photovoltaic system in a fixed array mode increases by 15.85%.
