Conceptual Design of High Endurance cum Hybrid Configuration based Personal Air Vehicles with Three-Axis Solar Tracker System

In recent times, solar energy is one of the most important sources of renewable energy in the world. Its current efficiency should be 60% by using dual axes solar tracker. It could be increased up to 80 to 90 % by using three axes solar tracker. The most important component in three axes solar tracking is sensing accurate location of the sun. Open loop tracking system is used in this method to detect the altitude angles of the sun. The conventional control board is used to control the motors to be actuated. The proposed approach is compared to a fixed panel and dual axes system. The result shows that the proposed solar tracking system enlarges the output power by 80%. The targeted platform of this enhanced renewable energy system is advanced Hybrid configuration based Personal Air Vehicles [PAV]. In this regard, the unique Hybrid PAV is designed, wherein the portions of the PAV are purposely created for the arrangement and thereafter location of this enhanced three-axis solar tracker system. The propellers of PAV and rectangular wing are uniquely designed for this hybrid PAV. From this conceptual design and unique flexible system, the endurance of a PAV will be increased in an acceptable manner. Through the accomplishment this solar tracker system in PAV, the implementation of PAV in real-time application may chance to enhance than the current implementation rate. The focused application of this work is to serve as air ambulance, in which the origin is hospital and the crewmember is doctor.
