Agro Fossil Free - Progettazione dell'edificio per il controllo della posizione delle celle solari mediante microcontrollore per l'ottimizzazione della potenza solare nell'applicazione di essiccazione del caffè

Descrizione generale

The problem faced by the coffee farming community in Teritit Aceh Tengah is the process of drying coffee beans when the weather is not bright while maintaining the quality of the coffee beans. This study aims to simulate in proteus software prototype model solar cell tracker drying coffee beans. Energy absorbed through a panel driven by a solar cell tracker is stored inside the battery as an energy reserve when the weather is not sunny, cloudy or rainy. Solar cell tracking using microcontroller is used to follow the movement of the sun direction perpendicular to the surface of the coffee bean drying apparatus. This tool is necessary because it can optimize energy absorption and heat. The simulated solar cell tracker is used to automatically drive solar panels and solar collectors at an angle of 900 solar rays to maximize the amount of energy and heat gained. This research method is quantitative that is by simulation, observe and measure the things done on the prototype then experiment and data processing and evaluation of research data. After simulation of solar cell traker system, it can be concluded that the solar cell traker system has been successfully simulated using four components of Light Dependent Resistors, two servo functionalized to drive the integrated solar panels and solar collectors automatically. The use of liquid crystal disk and also virtual terminal to monitor every angle of the smallest direction of movement of sunlight and also the value of servo speed either in the vertical direction or horizontal direction. Liquid crystal disk response capability to sunlight and connection with servo movement has a good accuracy value so that the response obtained by servo faster to improve the energy efficiency of solar and calor energy to be obtained.
