Abstract

See full text

Controlling at least one mirror in a solar power generation system by using a central controller to calculate at least one coefficient based on at least one of a daily cycle and a yearly cycle of the sun, and storing the at least one coefficient in a memory area of the central controller. The at least one coefficient is transmitted, by the central controller, to at least one local controller via a network such that, in response to receiving the at least one coefficient, the at least one local controller calculates at least one position for the at least one mirror based on the at least one coefficient and an internal clock, and controls movement of the at least one mirror to the at least one position using an actuator.
