Method and system for controlling cluster of solar trackers

1. A method of controlling a cluster of solar trackers in which a plurality of solar trackers exist as a cluster shape, the method comprising:

detecting, by each of the cluster of solar trackers, one or more of power generation amount information, altitude information, and azimuth information thereof and transmitting the detected power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information to a server;

calculating, by the server, average power generation amount information, average altitude information, or average azimuth information using the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information of each of the cluster of solar trackers; and

determining whether the cluster of solar trackers is normal by comparing the calculated average power generation amount information, average altitude information, or average azimuth information with the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information detected by each of the cluster of solar trackers.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

comparing, by the server, insolation information of a place where the cluster of solar trackers is located with an insulation reference value; and

transmitting, by the server, a first request signal for providing the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information to each of the cluster of solar trackers when the insolation information of the place where the cluster of solar trackers is located is at or above the insolation reference value,

wherein, in response to the first request signal, the cluster of solar trackers detects and transmits the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information to the server.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the server, a second request signal for providing global positioning system (GPS) information with respect to each of the cluster of solar trackers to each of the cluster of solar trackers when the insolation information of the place where the cluster of solar trackers is located is less than the insolation reference value;

detecting, by each of the cluster of solar trackers, the GPS information thereof and transmitting the detected GPS information to the server; and

controlling, by the server, an altitude and an azimuth of each of the cluster of solar trackers by using the GPS information of each of the cluster of solar trackers.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying, by the server, state information of the cluster of solar trackers on a display screen; and

controlling, by the server, an altitude or an azimuth of each of the cluster of solar trackers according to the state information of the cluster of solar trackers.

5. A system for controlling a cluster of solar trackers, comprising:

a cluster of solar trackers which detects one or more of power generation amount information, altitude information, and azimuth information thereof; and

a server which determines whether the cluster of solar trackers is normal by using the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information provided by the cluster of solar trackers,

wherein the server determines whether the cluster of solar trackers is normal by calculating average power generation amount information, average altitude information, or average azimuth information by using the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information of each of the cluster of solar trackers and comparing the calculated average power generation amount information, average altitude information, or average azimuth information with the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information detected by the cluster of solar trackers.

6. The system of claim 5 , further comprising an illuminance sensor which detects insolation information of a place where the cluster of solar trackers is located,

wherein when the illuminance sensor transmits the insolation information to the server, the server determines whether the received insolation information is at or above an insolation reference value and transmits a first request signal for providing the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information to each of the cluster of solar trackers when the insolation information of the place where the cluster of solar trackers is located is at or above the insolation reference value.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein when the insolation information of the place where the cluster of solar trackers is located is less than the insolation reference value, the server transmits a second request signal for providing GPS information with respect to each of the cluster of solar trackers to each of the cluster of solar trackers,

wherein each of the cluster of solar trackers detects the GPS information thereof and transmits the detected GPS information to the server, and

wherein the server controls an altitude and an azimuth of each of the cluster of solar trackers by using the GPS information of each of the cluster of solar trackers.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the server displays state information of the cluster of solar trackers on a display screen.
