13 results about "Follow-the-sun" patented technology

Follow the Sun (FTS), a sub-field of globally distributed software engineering (GDSE), is a type of global knowledge workflow designed in order to reduce the time to market, in which the knowledge product is owned and advanced by a production site in one timezone and handed off at the end of their work day to the next production site that is several time zones west to continue that work. Ideally, the work days in these time zones overlap such that when one site ends their day, the next one starts.

A solar light and heat heating device

PendingCN122359786AFollow-the-sunThermodynamics
This invention provides a solar thermal heating device, belonging to the field of solar energy utilization technology. It includes a support plate, a reflective mirror, a water supply pipe, a bracket plate, a shading component, a driving component, and a movable limiting component. Two sets of bracket plates are provided, arranged opposite to each other. The water supply pipe passes through both sets of bracket plates and is fixedly connected to them. The support plate is located outside the water supply pipe and rotatably engages with it. The reflective mirror is installed on the side of the support plate facing the water supply pipe. Compared to existing technologies, this invention enables automatic adjustment of the reflective mirror angle, allowing it to move with the sun, thereby improving solar thermal utilization efficiency. Furthermore, it automatically shades the reflective mirror at sunset, preventing dust, dew, and other foreign objects from falling onto its surface at night and affecting its subsequent performance.

Control method for power supply system and control device for power supply system

This control method for a power supply system is a method for controlling a power supply system (1) that uses power from a solar cell (13) to charge a first power storage device (3) connected to the solar cell (13) and charges a second power storage device (5) by using converted power obtained by converting the power of the first power storage device (3). In this control method for the power supply system (1), a generated power value (Pn) of the solar cell (13) and a terminal voltage value (Vn) of the first power storage device (3) are acquired. Limit values (VUL, VLL) of an allowable variation range of the terminal voltage value (Vn) of the first power storage device (3) are determined on the basis of the acquired generated power value (Pn) and terminal voltage value (Vn). The limit values (VUL, VLL) are values for causing the allowable variation range of the terminal voltage value (Vn) due to charging and discharging of the first power storage device (3) to follow a maximum power point voltage (VMPP_n) of the solar cell (13).

Solar tracking system with a mechanical drive mechanism using a flexible transmission shaft

A solar tracking system with torsion tubes having solar panels (modules) mounted thereon. Columns support the system and have bearings for rotation of the torsion tubes. A flexible transmission shaft is connected at one end to a mechanical drive mechanism for rotating the torsion tubes and thereby rotating at least an individual row of modules to follow the sun's diurnal motion. The torsion tubes can be rotated in an opposite direction, or backtrack, to prevent shadowing from one individual row of modules to another. The flexible transmission shaft is connected to a single motor at its other end and is constructed of flexible materials to compensate for misalignment due to uneven terrain or staggered row of module configuration. Dampers are also employed and affixed to the row of modules to decouple wind forces imposed on the row of modules.

A photovoltaic bracket with light-tracking adjustment function and its adjustment method

PendingCN122316194ASolar industryFollow-the-sun
This invention belongs to the field of solar energy technology, specifically a photovoltaic support frame and adjustment method with a sun-tracking adjustment function. The proposed solution includes a column and a solar photovoltaic panel. A mounting frame is fitted onto the outer side of the top of the column. A controller is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting frame. A housing is rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting frame, and a vertical adjustment component is installed inside the housing. In this invention, the solar photovoltaic panel adjusts its vertical angle according to the sun's altitude during the daytime. Through the extension and retraction of two telescopic drive mechanisms, the crossbeam adjusts its axial angle, tracking the sun's movement during the day. Combined with the tilt adjustment mechanism, this achieves sun-tracking operation, keeping the sunlight perpendicular to the solar photovoltaic panel to maximize light energy conversion and improve solar energy utilization efficiency.
