Development of a solar tracking system of a nonelectric power source by using a metal hydride actuator

This study develop the solar tracking system of a nonelectric power source by using a metal hydride (MH) actuator with solar radiation drive. The proposed tracking system includes two MH reactors of the same shape that are placed perpendicular to the solar cell array. A shielding plate is installed between the MH reactors to interrupt the solar radiation from each MH reactor. The solar angle of direction changes when there is a temperature...
