CONTROLLING A SOLAR TRACKING SYSTEM |
| 摘要 |
A method of tracking the sun is disclosed. A measurement of a gravity vector is obtained in a frame of reference of a solar collector rotatable with respect to an earth center of reference. A measurement of a magnetic direction vector is obtained in the frame of reference of the solar collector. The orientation of the solar collector is determined from the obtained measurement of the gravity vector and the obtained measurement of the magnetic direction. The orientation of the solar collector is altered in order to track the sun. |

1. A method of tracking the sun, comprising:
obtaining a measurement of a gravity vector in a frame of reference of a solar collector rotatable with respect to an earth center of reference; obtaining a measurement of a magnetic direction vector in the frame of reference of the solar collector; determining an orientation of the solar collector from the obtained measurement of the gravity vector and the obtained measurement of the magnetic direction vector; and altering the determined orientation of the solar collector to track the sun.
