ABSTRACT

Modelization equations of six approaches for tracking the sun are recalled and used to evaluate the constraints and performances to which they lead to. The geographical study case is taken for the specific latitude of 12 North that is a good matching with the location of the country of Burkina Faso. Three decisive periods were locally established in order to consider the different travels of the sun on sky during one year. This work presents some technical data which facilitates the choice of sun tracking approaches with concern of a concentrator limits such as its angle of acceptance, its motion control card interpolation model, or its minimum irradiation level for energy conversion effectiveness.

KEYWORDS
