Analisis Kalibrasi Sensor Bh1750 Untuk Mengukur Radiasi Matahari Di Pekanbaru

Abstract

Solar irradiance is one of significant parameter to describe to available potential of solar energy in a particular location. Measuring solar irradiance can be implemented by using different types of sensors, namely: pyranometer, pyrheliometer, light dependent resistor, photodioda and phototransistor. However, when implementing these sensors for solar energy potential measurement, a number of factors must be considered such as: sensor’s price and measurement capability. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyze the used of low price solar irradiance sensor as part of automatic solar station for measuring solar energy potential in a particular site. BH1750 was used in this article where it has been found that it has limitations such as maximum capability is up to 55.000 lux. A method was introduced to increase measurement capability by putting a cover on the sensor. With this additional cover, specific calibrations need to be carried out to overcome sensor’s accuracy.

Development of Wireless Control System for Smart Street Lighting using ESP8266

“…With the BH1750, the light intensity can be directly measured in Lux parameter, without needing calculations. BH1750 was used for various applications, e.g., an intelligent control system for automobile sun visor [5], IoT-based smart home automation [6], sunlight radiation [7], agricultural greenhouses [8], etc. In this paper, we focus on the implementation of BH1750 for street lighting application.…”
