A Gradient-Descent Method for Optimisation of Solar Collector Arrays

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present a numerical function for approximating shading losses around two-axis tracking solar collectors. It is used in a gradient descent algorithm to optimise relative collector position. System yield is increased by 1% - 2%.
