Abstract
This paper proposes a novel solar tracking device driven by shape memory alloys(SMA). The control method and strategy of this novel device are developed based on the mechanics of SMA springs and the electrical resistance model. Experimental results demonstrate the influence of different driving voltages on the device’s performance,revealing that the device exhibits optimal performance with a fast response speed and short recovery time when it is driven at 1.5 V. The research shows that this new angle adjustment device can significantly enhance the output power of solar cells in real-time working condition.
