Abstract :
Based on the cooperative control theory of multi-agent systems, this paper introduces a cooperative solar tracking control method for multiple dual-axis Photovoltaic (PV) panels. We first provide the dynamic models of the solar tracking system with two degrees of freedom. Then, the distributed adaptive dynamic surface (DCS) control method is presented to cooperatively control the multiple dual-axis PV panels. In the end, the simulation results demonstrate the validity of the suggested control method.
