Abstract
In the context of nowadays economical development of the world, energy saving and obtaining energy from renewable sources are priority targets of many governments. As such, using tracking devices to optimise the energetic efficiency of the photovoltaic conversion systems represents a viable method from the economical and technical point of view. The efficiency and the durability of the tracking systems of photovoltaic platforms depend on the characteristics of their mechanical transmissions. Therefore, the straight bevel gears, as component parts of the mechanical transmissions of different tracking systems, must be designed considering the functional and constructive features of the tracking systems. This paper presents a calculus program, developed to generate the optimum constructive solution of a straight bevel gear of a particularly azimuthal tracking system; the calculus program is developed based on the indications and relations presented in the ISO 10300-1, 2, 3 standards.
