Coding template of sensorless sun tracking using azimuth-elevation mode

The next explosion in solar power research was in 1997 as consequence to Kyoto Protocol. This protocol outlined the effect of greenhouse emission which endangers our Earth. As the result, research in solar power field started to take its path again. This work is a part of the UTeM project to build t...

This work is a part of the UTeM project to build the first CST model in South East Asia and was aimed to develop an azimuth-elevationmode-based template using MATLAB programming for the calculation of the heliostat position with respect to the heat absorber mounted at the top of the CST. This template will serve as the calculation platform to control the movement of the heliostat using a two-axis motion system so that the sun light will be redirected perfectly to the absorber all day long. Since the heliostat normal vector depends on sun position vector, both vectors were calculated by the program and were set as the output of the program.
