A Grid-enabled solution in mechanical design is suggested in the paper. In the beginning, a brief introduction of three distinct phases in mechanical design, i.e., Preliminary Design, Structure Verification, and Performance Evaluation, is presented, followed by a typical scenario. This project is currently in progress. More features are expected to add into in the near future to enhance its strength and flexibility. The MEGrid has been proved to have significant practical value for mechanical design and its architecture in this paper highlights an approach for Grid technologies applications in engineering with distributed software packages involved.

This paper presents the mechanical design of a single axis solar tracking system, as well as the electronic design of a system that to record in real time the electric power delivered by the solar tracker and to evaluate its performance. The interface was developed in Labview and it compares the power supplied by the tracker with the power supplied by static solar panel of the same characteristics. The performance is initially simulated using Pv-Syst software, and later validated with the data obtained by the interface. As a result, the use of the solar tracker increases the power delivered by a minimum of 19%, and it can go as high as 47.84%, with an average in increase in power of 19.5% in the monthly energy production. This experimental result was compared with the simulation by Pv-Syst software and shows a difference of only 2.5%, thus validating the reliability of the simulation. This behavior pattern coincides with previous studies carried out for equatorial latitudes.
