Control y monitoreo de desempeño de sistemas seguidores solares bajo software embebido

Marco Antonio Peñaloza López, Sergio Palomino Resendiz, Diego Flores Hernández

Resumen


Este trabajo muestra un procedimiento a través del cual es posible reducir la complejidad de diseño, implementación y ajuste de controladores no convencionales para sistemas seguidores solares. Lo anterior a través de la programación de una tarjeta STM32F4-NUCLEO en un lenguaje de alto nivel. Esto es posible gracias al uso de un software embebido (toolbox Waijung) que permite disponer de las funciones y bloques pertenecientes a Matlab-Simulink para la generación y descarga automática de código C en microcontroladores de la familia STM32F4. Adicionalmente, la configuración resultante logra disponer de forma fácil y práctica los recursos de procesamiento de una computadora propiciando un esquema de tipo Hardware in the Loop. Por lo que, la computadora puede visualizarse como una interfaz de monitoreo y configuración, así como un servidor para almacenamiento de base de datos. Para validar la propuesta se presenta el procedimiento de desarrollo y pruebas de funcionamiento realizadas con un seguidor solar existente.
