A laboratory scale IoT-based measuring of the solar photovoltaic parameters

Abstract

<p>Harvesting solar energy as a renewable energy source has received significant attention through serious studies that could be applied massively. However, the nonlinear nature of photovoltaic (PV) concerning the surrounding environment, especially irradiation and temperature, affects the resulting output. Therefore, the correlation between environmental parameters and PV's energy needs to be studied. This paper presents a design for measuring solar PV parameters monitored on a laboratory scale. The monitoring is based on internet of things (IoT) technology analyzed in realtime. The system was tested in various weather conditions for 18 hours. The results obtained indicate that the output voltage was influenced by the lighting factor of the PV and the surrounding temperature.</p>

IoT-based Single-Phase Power Factor and Control Panel Monitoring System

“…This technology allows someone to access data on a physical parameter being measured without the need to be present directly at that location. Until now, IoT technology has been widely applied in the fields of health [16]- [18], security [19], [20], environment [21]- [23], learning [24], [25], and is no exception in the field of power electronics [26]. In this research, IoT design will be discussed in depth in two parts.…”

Modernisation of DC-DC converter topologies for solar energy harvesting applications: A review

“…One of the interesting and potentially fruitful solutions to meet the ever-increasing energy demands of the globe is to collect energy from the sun. The total system for collecting solar energy is made up of a variety of different devices and components, including as PV arrays, MPPT controllers, DC-DC converters, batteries, loads (both AC and DC), and inverters [9], [11], [12], [16], [17], [58], [119], [120]. The comprehensive schematic block of the solar energy collecting system is shown in Figure 1.…”

“…To mitigate SEPIC's high voltage stress, Hyun-Lark [272] created a modified voltage multiplier circuit. The magnetizing inductance equation, Lm, is derived from the ZVS condition as (9). The (10) gives the sum of the auxiliary and resonant inductances, La and Lr.…”

“…The DC-DC converter has been around since the 1920s and was designed specifically for use with solar PV systems. It is an extremely important requirement that a DC-DC boost converter be developed in order to regulate the low and irregular DC output voltage coming from the PV arrays [7], [9], [44]- [46].…”

Wireless internet of things solutions for efficient photovoltaic system monitoring via WiFi networks

“…This study presents a novel internet of things (IoT) technology implementation to transmit parameter data from solar panels to a designated web server [18]. In the current investigation, we put forth a sophisticated monitoring framework that relies on the adaptable Raspberry Pi platform, the Raspberry Pi can measure many essential factors, such as voltage, current, and temperature of solar panels, by utilizing a diverse range of sensors [9], [10].…”
