Calculation of the Parameters of the Daily Movement of the Sun. Contour Maps of Kinematic Parameters

The task of calculating the energy potential requires additions in the form of a correct mathematical description of the kinematic interaction of the Sun and the position of the solar battery located on the Earth, as part of the Sun tracking system. This is due to the requirement of long-term autonomous operation, which is determined by the quality of design and operation of coordinate electric drives. The solution of this problem will help to determine the values of angular velocities required for tracking drives. The consequence of this is the automatic accounting of the conditions in which the solar power plant should operate. For this purpose, the Solar Position Calculator (SPC) algorithm developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was applied. It has good accuracy, it is easy to implement, does not require storing a complex database of astronomical constants. To maximize the coverage of the daily and annual changes in the Azimuth and Zenith angles, a special multidimensional time matrix was created, on the basis of which these angles were calculated. The calculation results are presented in the form of contour maps.
