Embedded Solar Angular Control System to Maximize Power and Promote Social and Environmental Inclusion in Mexico

Abstract

In recent decades, wind energy has been the fastest growing and most developed renewable energy source worldwide. Since wind turbines are directly connected to the electrical grid, it is essential to maximize the power extracted from the wind and convert it into the greatest possible amount of electrical energy. To achieve this, monitoring key variables such as turbine current, voltage, and wind speed is critical. This work presents the design and implementation of an embedded system to control the blade pitch angle through wireless communication with a master controller that determines and sends the optimal angle to reach the maximum power point. A subordinate subsystem is responsible for adjusting the blades according to the received signal. The master controller uses an algorithm that analyzes input readings to optimize energy generation. This system identifies the optimal wind speed and blade angle for maximum output, maintaining continuous movement to ensure efficient and stable turbine operation. From a social perspective, this research represents a key tool to promote the integration of clean energy in Mexican communities, especially in rural areas where reliable energy access is limited. This contribution improves quality of life, fosters sustainable development, and reduces dependence on polluting fossil fuels. Additionally, the system encourages the adoption of smart technologies, generates local employment opportunities, and provides technical training in the energy sector, aligning with Mexico’s social and environmental objectives.
