Subject:
Progress Report (from July 30 to November 16, 2012): Development Of Solar Power
Tracker For Water Pumping System
Introduction
The
purpose of this project is to research about solar power tracker for water
pumping system. This project mainly to be used in irrigation such as
agriculture. The project is to easy
transfer water efficiently and reliably from sources such as spring, river,
tanks and dams. For
farmers with a creek running through their properties, using a solar powered
water pumping solution means less fouling of waterways and far less erosion of
banks. This progress report discusses the progress I
have made from July 30 to November 16.
Work
Completed from July
30 to November 16
During this period, I finish do the proposal report,
presentation and three chapters from the final report which discussed the Solar
Power Tracker for Water Pumping System
that will keep the solar panel aligned with the sun and the output of the solar
power is used to generate electricity to pump water operations can be done. During
the process to finish my report the main task that I learn from this project is
how to make the solar panel always follow the sun. The LDR sensor is the
important equipment that must have to track the sun. Not forget the servo motor
also important to move the solar panel aligned with the sun and most important
things is electric water valve can pump water well. I do a lot of research from
internet and also some books regarding this project and then compare with my
own knowledge. I also have begun working on the program and the controller that
I want to use. After do research what type of programming and controller used
for this project and I decided to choose controller PIC16f877a and C Language
for program this project. The type of programming and the combination system
schematic diagram circuit I explain briefly in the methodology section.
Work
to be Completed by May 2, 2013
Next,
I need to finish all the chapter of final report on formation by making
corrections and proofing the chapter. This will be completed by May 2, 2013. I
will continue the chapter until the end of chapter with does the hardware of
this project. Every work I do will write on the report. I will then write the conclusion
and management implications for the final paper. The entire project should be
completed by the first week of May 2013.
Problems
Encountered
During
the research of my project Solar Power Tracker for Water Pumping System, I have
some problems with the situation as the example did the output power after
using my tracker devices is more than using the fixed solar panel. I have to do
some calculation and research to encountered the problem. However the project
is still on schedule and will proceed as how the project was planned.
Conclusion
My
research project is on schedule and I should encounter no problems finishing it
by May 2, 2013. If you have any questions or concerns with this project, please
