“…Adding to the DCS system, the data information is also available through the internet. Any data can be access elsewhere beside the main control station as long as the internet connection is available [1,2]. The function of the system to monitor the entire system to ensure it is functioning properly and maintaining a good performance.…”

The main aim of this research work is to design an accurate and reliable monitoring system to be integrated with solar electricity generating system. The performance monitoring system is required to ensure that the PVEGS is operating at an optimum level. The PV monitoring system is able to measure all the important parameters that determine an optimum performance. The measured values are recorded continuously, as the data acquisition system is connected to a computer, and data is stored at fixed intervals. The data can be locally used and can also be transmitted via internet. The data that appears directly on the local monitoring system is displayed via graphical user interface that was created by using Visual basic and Apache software was used for data transmission The accuracy and reliability of the developed monitoring system was tested against the data that captured simultaneously by using a standard power quality analyzer device. The high correlation which is 97% values indicates the level of accuracy of the monitoring system. The aim of leveraging on a system for continuous monitoring system is achieved, both locally, and can be viewed simultaneously at a remote system.

“…Generally, PV performance models are used to predict how much energy an installation will produce at a location [3]. Irradiance measurements were used to optimise the PV system performance [4] or just to characterise the performance [5]. Detailed analysis of mpp at various locations is given in [6].…”

Abstract. In this paper spherical irradiation measurements are exploited and compared to power output in order to assess PV system generation potential. Not the spherical irradiation as a sum is measured, but irradiation referred to a specific solid angle. This approach enhances generation forecasting for predefined panel orientations within urban areas. In urbanised regions sophisticated shadowing and reflexion patterns result generally in complicated generation predictions.

“…Some authors are interested in local solar irradiation estimation. The relationship between solar irradiation and output voltage of a PV module by using the modeling equation and suitable experimental setup, namely a data acquisition system and two axis accelerometer, is established in [21]. The obtained relationship was used to determine the level of solar irradiation.…”

Abstract:In this paper we propose a concept for estimating solar irradiation based on measurements of the current, voltage, and temperature of a photovoltaic (PV) cell.The estimation of the irradiation is obtained by processing these measurements using a PV cell mathematical model combined with a PI controller. Since the PV cell current is very sensitive to the irradiance level, the principle of the method is to force the model to reproduce the same current as that measured on the cell by applying an appropriate irradiance as input, for measured temperature and voltage. The appropriate irradiance, which is the output of our estimator, is provided by the PI controller in such way that the current estimated by the model follows exactly the measured current. The PI controller ensures also self-calibration of the PV reference cell depending on the temperature changes. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been validated in a simulation and implemented in real time using the dSpace 1104 board.
