I have a project about single axis solar tracker control system simulation based on PID Controller with simulink. So far, I already manage to derive transfer function for the actuator (electro-pneumatic actuator). But I can't find transfer function for the 'plant', that is solar panel, which need stroke displacement as input and solar panel tilt angle as the output. Does anyone here know how to find it or have any journal/article reference about this?

Thanks

P.S Here are my works so far Control Block Diagram Actuator Transfer Function Electro-Pneumatic Parameters

  • \$\begingroup\$ It depends on the mechanical linkage between the actuator and the panel. There is no one value for this - it’s all up to the design engineer to resolve. \$\endgroup\$
