SOLAR PHOTOELECTRIC STATION AND METHOD FOR ITS ORIENTATION Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC H01L31/42 H02S20/30 H02S20/32 

FIELD: solar stations.

SUBSTANCE: solar photovoltaic station includes a frame (1) of solar cells (2) attached to an intermediate frame (4) made in the form of a circular cylindrical beam equipped with a drive (6), an optical solar sensor (7), sensitive to the displacement of the Sun in the ecliptic plane, and installed with the possibility of rotation in the vertical plane by means of the first cylindrical hinges (11) on two posts (12), (13) attached to the base (14), one of which is equipped with a mechanism (16) for its vertical reciprocating movement. The intermediate frame (4) is mounted with the possibility of rotation by the drive around its axis (9) by means of the second cylindrical hinges (10), orthogonally fixed on the first cylindrical hinges (11). The frame (1) is equipped with concentrators (15) of solar radiation, in the focus of which solar cells (2) are installed, made in the form of rectangles with a long side parallel to the axis of a circular cylindrical beam, while the length d and width h of the rectangles satisfy certain relationships. The method for orientation of the solar photovoltaic station is that the base (14) of the station is set in the plane of the moon's horizon, the directions of the cardinal points at the location of the solar photovoltaic station are determined, the axes of the first cylindrical hinges (11) of the intermediate frame (4) are set in the east-west direction , the intermediate frame (4) is installed at an angle to the horizontal, equal to the selenographic latitude of the location of the solar photovoltaic station. When installing a solar photovoltaic station in the northern lunar hemisphere, the upper end of the intermediate frame (4) is oriented to the lunar north, when installing a photovoltaic station in the southern lunar hemisphere, the upper end of the intermediate frame (4) is oriented to the lunar south and from sunrise to sunset, the angular speed of rotation is set intermediate frame (4) 0.54-0.56 deg/h at an average angular velocity of 0.549 deg/h in the direction of rotation opposite to the direction of rotation of the Moon around its own axis.

EFFECT: invention provides orientation of the solar battery to the Sun during a lunar day, efficient conversion of solar radiation into electrical energy and obtaining a high specific energy output during a lunar day in conditions of long-term autonomous operation on the lunar surface.
