별추적기는 우주공간에서 미세한 별 빛을 감지한 후 저장된 별 목록과 비교하여 관성좌표계상에서 위성의 자세 정보를 제공한다. 별 이외에 태양이나 지구와 같은 다른 빛이 광학계(OH : Optical Head)로 들어가게 될 경우 별을 인식할 수 없음으로 별추적기를 운영할 수 없다. 특히, 태양과 같은 강한 빛이 들어올 경우 별추적기 운영뿐 아니라 성능에도 영향을 미친다. 별추적기의 태양 차폐각(SEA : Sun Exclusion Angle)은 별추적기의 성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 별추적기의 태양 차폐각에 대한 검증을 수행하였다. 태양 차폐각 검증을 위해서 별추적기의 태양 차폐 시간을 예측하였으며 실제 천리안 2A호 별 추적기에서 발생한 태양 차폐 시간과 비교하였다. 또한, 광학계에 태양에 의한 차폐가 발생할 경우 별추적기가 정상적으로 동작하는지에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 별추적기는 성능 요구사항인 26° 이내에서 태양 차폐가 발생하였으며 태양 차폐가 발생할 경우에도 정상 동작함을 확인하였다.

Star tracker placement configuration is proposed and the properness of the placement configuration is verified for star tracker's sun avoidance angle requirement. Precision attitude determination system is successfully designed using a gyro-star tracker inertial reference system for a candidate LEO spacecraft. Elaborate kalman filter formulation for a spacecraft is proposed for covariance analysis. The covariance analysis is performed to verify the capability of the proposed attitude determination system. The analysis results show that the attitude determination error and drift rate error are good enough to satisfy the mission of a candidate spacecraft.

In this paper, 150W photovoltaic system using neural network tracker is proposed, the system designed as the normal line of the solar cell always runs parallel the ray of the sun. This design can minimize the cosine loss of the system output results of solar cell are sensitive to the change of weather and insolation condition don't react rapidly to parameter condition change such as system circumstance and deterioration. To achieve precise operation of photovoltaic tracker system using method of intelligent control, Neural Network is used in the design of the photovoltaic tracker system drive. The control performance of this system drive influenced by the environment parameter such as weather condition and motor parameter variations. we used synchronous motor in this tracker and the experimental results show that the fixing system shows 10,159[Wh] and tracking system shows 12,360[Wh] electricity.

In this paper, sun tracking system using Sun position sensor is proposed, the sun tracking system designed as which raises the efficiency of solar power generation. It design the structure being simple and it develops the system which is economical efficiency. It develops the hazard technique such as location tracking method of the sun which uses the sensor and to use the motor solar cell module movement. The Sun tracking system makes the drive in order to do with one axis and to use the sensor and to know in order to put out, the location of the sun and it makes. To make the solar location tracking sensor where the structure is simple it used two solar cells.

A standalone LED lighting system in using solar energy has been used usually less than 70W of lighting power because of a troublesome installation and maintenance. In this system, as more and more LED lighting power increases, the capacity of photovoltaic panel does proportionally, and to improve the charging efficiency of solar energy, MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) techniques is used frequently, but the solar tracker is not. In this paper, a solar tracker which traces the light of the sun in varying hour to hour is studied to apply to the standalone LED lighting system. This solar tracker consists of twin axis for tracing the azimuth and altitude respectively, and it has a robust structure with safe mode to stand a strong wind. As a result of analysis, generating efficiency of the traced type has improved on the fixed one 28.84% on average.

The sunlight tracking and reflexing system can be divided into two parts. One is a sunlight tracking system and the other is a sunlight reflexing system. The sunlight tracking system detects an azimuth angie and an elevation angle of the sun using 2-axis sensor sun tracker. The sunlight reflexing system controls a reflection mirror to be reflected a sunlight at the target area after getting the azimuth angle and the elevation angle of the sun from the sunlight tracking system. We applied the fuzzy PID controller to control the reflexing mirror.

Solar energy is most green and clean, unlimited and sustainable energy source on the earth. It is almost 97% of imported consumer energy in Korea. Because of resource poor nation, it is necessary to do their best to make alternative energy to allot their deficiency of the matter in hand of energy resources of petroleum. In a point of view of this problems, the natural solar energy should be improved by any methods as much, possible as we need. Photovoltaic generation with solar tracking system for obtaining optimal power is one of most benefit equipment to improve power of solar-cell panel producing clean electric power efficiently. Solar tracker is a device for orienting a solar photovoltaic panel toward the sun perpendicularly to sunlight, especially in widely separated place. For this reason, we are very interested in developing the equipment system of tracker, specially in solar cell applications, obtaining a high degree of accuracy to ensure that the optimal sunlight could be directed precisely against to the powered device. As a result, it was obtained of 12.46 volts at 90$^\circ$toward solar panel and 9.44 volts at 45$^\circ$, furthermore, improved efficiency more than 30% of average output voltage between tracker system (12.41V) and fixed system (8.55V), respectively. It is also very useful for optimum power system of widely separated cave.
