Abstract: As to the issue of low accuracy and vulnerability in current solar azimuth measurement system, a solar azimuth alignment system is proposed. According to the GPS data frame, the initial azimuth is calculated by using sun trajectory algorithm, and the sun spot is formed on two-dimensional tetra-lateral PSD by solar ray oblique incidence. The deviations between sun spot center and geometrical center of PSD are calculated, and accurate solar azimuth is estimated by fusion algorithm, and installation tilt error is compensated. The experimental results show that the solar azimuth alignment system can locate solar azimuth for all-weather tracking, and the design method is reasonable and practicable.

摘要: 针对现有太阳方位跟踪系统中对准精度较低、易受环境制约等问题,设计了一种太阳方位对准系统。该系统一方面接收GPS输出数据信息,利用视日运动轨迹跟踪方法计算初始方位;另一方面利用斜入射平凸透镜的太阳光线在二维四边形PSD器件上形成光斑,计算光斑中心与PSD器件几何中心之间偏差,结合二者信息对太阳方位进行准确定位,对安装倾斜误差进行补偿。实验结果表明,该太阳方位对准系统能够实现全天候、大范围内准确定位,设计方法合理、可行。
