Intelligent Solar Tracking System as a Prospect for Developing the Alternative Energetics in Ukraine.

Now, alternative energetics and renewable energy sources are the main trends in the world. The development and use of alternative energy sources are important factors for strengthening the energy safety. But today, in Ukraine, alternative energy is still under development. Ukraine has significant resources for the development of renewable energy. Therefore, under favorable legislation, Ukraine has every chance to take a prominent place in alternative energy among the advanced countries. The main factors, through which the unfavorable investment climate in Ukraine don't allow investors and the state to fully develop alternative energy: political and foreign exchange market instability; weakly incentive state support in the development and use of alternative types of energy; inadequate funding for research in the energy sector; insufficiency informing and low awareness of the population in the efficiency of alternative energy sources; low competitiveness of domestic developments; the absence of industrial production of domestic analogues of facilities with non-traditional types of fuel. Given that "clean" and "green" energy from renewable sources is an important sustainable development goal for Ukraine, and the solar power plants have the highest growth rates, the urgent task is the correct positioning of solar panels and ensure maximum efficiency of their. The aim of this paper is to develop a system that would allow you to monitor the sun regardless of the clouds. The intelligent solar tracking system is developed in the paper. A mechanical design for positioning the solar battery in space, a light-sensitive photodetector for tracking the position of the Sun in two coordinates, a diagram of an intelligent solar tracking system were developed. The developed intelligent solar tracking system minimizes energy consumption for control and increases energy efficiency of electricity production. The use of such a system provides the significantly increase the amount of electricity produced by solar panels.
