Mechanical Engineering

This project aims to design and manufacture a passive solar tracking system to enhance the performance and efficiency of solar power systems. The proposed tracking system utilizes passive techniques that do not rely on active control mechanisms or external power sources, reducing complexity and energy consumption. The project involves the conceptualization, design, prototyping, and testing of the passive solar tracking system to optimize the incident angle of sunlight on solar panels. The design process begins with a comprehensive study of solar tracking principles, including the movement of the Sun, geographical location considerations, and the effects of incident angle on energy capture. Various passive tracking mechanisms, such as bimetallic strips, compressed gas systems, and shape memory alloys, are evaluated to determine the most suitable approach for the project. Based on the analysis, a novel passive tracking mechanism is developed, taking into account factors such as simplicity, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability to different solar panel configurations. The design includes mechanical components, such as linkages, gears, and pivots, that enable the tracking system to follow the Sun's path autonomously throughout the day. The outcome of this project is expected to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of a passive solar tracking system in improving energy production and maximizing the utilization of solar resources. The findings can contribute to the development of more efficient and cost-effective solar power systems, particularly in applications where active tracking systems may not be practical or economically viable.
