... The results of simulations and real-world experiments demonstrate that the system is both reliable and efficient for operation. In [6], the performance of commercial solar panels is measured. The authors have designed and constructed a test bed based on an Arduino AVR microcontroller that measures several parameters related to solar panels such as voltage, current, ambient temperature and humidity as well as wind speed. ...
This paper presents the design and implementation of a microcontroller system for the measurement of various environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, luminosity, air quality, pressure, etc. We target application scenarios that need the deployment of such systems in the open without the availability of an electrical power grid. For this purpose, we put a strong emphasis on the energy efficiency and the development of an autonomous environment-friendly power supply consisting of solar panels and an ultracapacitor. The sensor data transmission is done over the license-free radio frequencies around 433 MHz or 868 MHz. On the software side, a lot of attention is paid to the reliability and the security of the data transmissions by the development of a custom data transmission protocol. Overall, we aim at keeping the production and deployment costs of our system economically feasible for small and medium-sized businesses. The experimental results prove that our approach has much potential and that our systems can be successfully used to build autonomous sensor data gathering networks.
... Запропоновані в роботах [4,5] пристрої дозволяють знаходити точку максимального відбору потужності в умовах зміни кута та освітленості, при цьому не враховуються зміни умови зовнішнього середовища. Пристрої вимірювання параметрів генерації сонячними панелями [6,7] мають стаціонарне виконання, що унеможливлює їх використання в польових умовах для аналізу параметрів генерації на вже встановлених панелях. ...
... Як видно із наведених характеристик найбільший вплив на генерацію чинить інтенсивність випромінювання джерела світла, яка в свою чергу залежить від багатьох зовнішніх факторів [6,7]. ...
The article analyzes the approaches to the development of a device for continuous monitoring of electrical parameters of solar panel generation. In the course of the research it is proposed to expand the capabilities of the device in comparison with the existing analogues for more accurate consideration of the main factors that influence the level of electricity generation by solar panels. The proposed device was used to investigate the modes of operation of solar panels type ABI CL P60260. The monitoring results obtained can be used to predict the generation level at the site of installation. The developed approaches to the construction of a hardware-software complex for monitoring the electrical parameters of solar panel generation allow determining the generation characteristics directly at the installation site in given geographical coordinates. In addition, fixing changes in generation depending on weather conditions for a long time, will allow you to get correlation dependencies to predict the level of generation, it is important in the formation of autonomous power supply systems.
... Many works have been performed to ensure maximum sunlight is on track. Some techniques are proposed by using intelligent systems [3][4][5][6]. The dual axis controller is the most used method on how motor moves the panel [7]. ...
Indonesia has limited electricity supplies and often experience blackout. On the other hand, this country is rich with sunlight. Sunlight is always available for the entire year due to the tropical weather and earth position is near to Equator. However, solar cell usage is still limited to be applied. This paper presents solar panel controller design to maximize the power output by using light sensors, two driving motors and fuzzy logic controller. The prototype is modelled and simulated based on measured data. Simulations have been made between the designed systems versus static system. The recorded data shows that by controlling solar panel following the position of the sun, the power output increases about 15.69 % over the static system.
