摘要
Global energy consumption is dramatically increasing due to higher standard of living and the increasing world population. The world has limited fossil and oil resources. As a consequence, the need for renewable energy sources becomes more urgent. With the fast development of renewable energy technology, it proposes increasing demand for the higher education. This project is funded by the National Science Foundation Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM (TUES) program from May 2012 to April 2015. As part of the objectives of the project, a sun tracking solar power system will be designed and developed as a teaching tool for the laboratory. This paper describes the design and simulation of a sun tracking solar power system. The simulation is realized on Matlab/Simulink platform. The simulation consists of four modules: solar tracking cells, signal conditioning circuit, controller, and motor. The simulation provides an excellent platform for undergraduate engineering technology students to study the design and theory of a sun tracking solar power system.
