Photovoltaic (PV) solar generation is gaining an increasing attention due to technological advances such as higher efficiency and life of PV cells and cost reduction. Due to its vast territory, Brazil is composed of regions that can explore renewable energy sources for electricity generation, and the solar resource is found satisfactorily in several areas of the country. This article presents a solar irradiance...
The main objective of this project is to develop and implement an Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring system to analyze the temperature at the center and at the edge of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) modules at Maracanaú – CE, Brazil. The proposed IoT embedded system is based on free software and hardware using ESP 32 development board, allowing online distribution, free usage and communication with a server ...
The increasing of photovoltaic plant installations at different scales promotes the development of monitoring systems that facilitate the communication, control and automation of the generating units, allowing to guarantee the predicted energy generation performance. Monitoring systems are composed of different interfaces that involve sensing and capturing data; conversion, treatment, pre-storage and transmissi...
This paper describes the development of a data acquisition and a cloud monitoring system (REMS) applied to a photovoltaic panel (PV). The REMS performs sensing and control of decentralized microgeneration plants with communication to a database and an online server via an Embedded Linux System (ELS). REMS allows also the connection of digital and analog sensors using the Analog/Digital Converter Embedded System...
The IoT monitoring network developed in this thesis project proposes the reduction of costs associated with hardware and software of dataloggers and commercial sensing modules that are imported, have high costs with control and data storage through proprietary software. Additionally, they have limited sensor connections with low expansion flexibility, restrictive maintenance to the manufacturer and long cable c...
