Development of a cloud-based system for remote monitoring of a PVT panel

Abstract

Abstract:The paper presents a monitoring system developed for an energy conversion system based on the sun and known as thermophotovoltaic panel (PVT). The project was implemented using two embedded microcontrollers platforms (arduino Leonardo and arduino yún), wireless transmission systems (WI-FI and XBEE) and net computing ,commonly known as cloud (Google cloud). The main objective of the project is to provide remote access and real-time data monitoring (like: electrical current, electrical voltage, input fluid temperature, output fluid temperature, backward fluid temperature, up PV glass temperature, down PV glass temperature, ambient temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction and fluid mass flow). This project demonstrates the feasibility of using inexpensive microcontroller's platforms and free internet service in the Web, to support the remote study of renewable energy systems, eliminating the acquisition of dedicated systems typically more expensive and limited in the kind of processing proposed.

Performance Evaluation of a Hybrid Thermal–Photovoltaic Panel

“…This microcontroller is able to supply the measured data to Arduino Yun. The latter has the same microcontroller board, dimensions, memory and connectors as Leonardo, and can send the data to a computer wirelessly [21]. This solution based on Arduino, an opensource electronic platform, represents a low-cost data acquisition system and has interesting features like the flexibility, the remote data capture capability, and an accuracy satisfactory enough to allow model validation.…”

Pengaruh Cahaya Ruang pada Pembangkitan Energi Solar Panel

“…Dari hal tersebut dalam penelitian ini mencoba mengukur besaran energi yang dapat terbangkitkan dengan menggunakan media cahaya ruang. Solar cell terintegrasi dengan system monitoring dengan menggunakan open source platfom seperti arduinio [7]- [11] atau menggunakan Raspberry PI [12]- [15] yang melakukan pemantauan kondisi tegangan, arus, daya, lumens cahaya ruang serta suhu ruang [2] serta untuk mengirimkan data ke server menggunakan wireless teknologi [16]- [20] yang terhubung dengan internet IoT. Pemantauan komponen sistem daya secara real-time dalam smart grid membantu operator untuk memahami dan mengoptimalkan perilaku dan kinerja komponen sistem smart grid [21].…”

Research and Integration of IoT based Solar Photovoltaic Panel Health Monitoring System

“…As solar photovoltaic system emerged as most promising technology to meet the demand for electricity growth [6], monitoring PV system is necessary to allow their holders to maintain and observe the installed PV system [7]. Another reason to monitor the PV system is because solar PV systems are installed at location where is not accessible to grid network electricity and installed solar PV system at such locations tend to be installed with monitoring system [8].…”
