Abstract

The aim of the paper is to develop an optimization method of a spatial 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) parallel mechanism(PM) used for orientation of a solar panel. The purpose of the optimization is to define the right set of geometrical parameters of the PM that assure a correlation between the angular workspace of the PM with the relative angles of the sun (azimuth, elevation) between the winter and summer solstices. The spatial PM is actuated using three FESTO fluidic muscles and the corresponding kinematics of the PM have been included in the fitness function of the optimization. The numerical model of the angles of the sun between the winter and summer solstices has been developed as a scattered grid of angles considered for the city Cluj-Napoca.
