Abstract

The world energy market is undoubtedly at a turning point. The global energy demand is projected to increase by one third by 2040, while the share of renewable energy sources, which make up 22 percent of the electricity generated as of the end of 2013, is expected to increase to 43 percent by 2040. In other words, the importance of renewable energy sources will continue to increase in the coming period. Against this background, the year 2030 will constitute one of the important milestones for renewable energy, which is expected to become the largest source of electricity generation, surpassing coal in the energy supply. The 21st, held in Paris. The agreement signed with the participation of 195 countries at the United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP21) can also be described as the common voice of countries to determine a global and long-term strategy on climate change. At this point, it is possible to say that the renewable energy sector, especially thanks to the important role it plays in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting domestic electricity production, is a valuable solution to overcome these bottlenecks. In this context, the project we will be operating in takes a leading role in the energy sector. Our project is based on the principle that the sun's rays move according to the angle of incidence. By installing our intelligent solar tracking mechanism with Arduino and using the 2 Servo Motors in the project, the axes can move according to the incoming sun angles. The circuit is installed on the board, the legs of the LDRs are connected to the analog input pins a0, a1, a2, a3 with a female to male jumper cable. 9. Servo motors are also with male jumper cable. and 10. it is connected to digital pins. After the circuit installation is completed, the necessary code for solar tracking has been installed on the arduino. The resulting system was capable of receiving the sun's rays from any region.
