The internet connected world demands a need for integrating the renewable energy sources and loads in the microgrid with an energy management system that is capable of monitoring, controlling and conserving energy and at the same time. This paper proposes the idea of an Internet of things (IoT) based smart Energy Management System (EMS) for a Stand-Alone Photovoltaic (SAPV) System, which acts as a closed system where all the power is generated from solar energy and either stored in batteries or utilized within the system. It has various units namely: Energy generation, Energy management and IoT. A novel constant battery operating algorithm is proposed for EMS of SAPV System. All the loads are connected through IoT and hence their status maybe monitored and controlled from remote location.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
