Solar Power Monitoring Using Iot
Solar Power Monitoring Using Iot
Presented by
The main objective is to power of the system can be monitor using the sensors
sensed by the arduino. The monitor of the solar energy system shows the power
and energy usage. This system helps to implement in smart grid for efficient
usage.

Title: Design and implementation of a renewable energy monitoring system
Authors: Kabalci, Ersan, Alper Gorgun, Yasin Kabalci
Description:
it is an instant monitoring infrastructure of a renewable energy generation
system that is constituted with a wind turbine and solar panel arrays. The
related values are measured with the developed sensing circuits and
processed by an 18F4450 microcontroller of Microchip. The processed
parameters are then transmitted to a personal computer (PC) over universal
serial bus (USB) to be saved in a database and to observe the system
instantly.
Limitations:
It limits with in a certain area. Because in this method of monitoring
uses a USB for data transmission.

Title: Development of Android based on
line monitoring and control system for Renewable Energy
Sources
Authors: Jiju K. et. al
Description:
Development of an online monitoring and control system for distributed
Renewable Energy Sources (RES) based on Android platform. This method
utilizes the Bluetooth interface of Android Tablet of Mobile phone, as a
communication link for data exchange with digital hardware of power
Conditioning Unit.
Limitations:
Bluetooth as a technology comes with a few disadvantages, including
slow data speeds, poor data security and shortened battery life. Bluetooth's
low-power design limits its data communications speed.

Title: Integrated management and remote monitoring system for
telecommunications power plants with fully DC-powered center equipment.
Author:Goto, Yoshihiro, et al
Description:
Explained about an integrated system that manages and
remotely monitors telecommunications power plants has been
developed and has started operations. Features of the system are the
integrate the management and remote monitoring functions, into
one system and improved user interfaces, which use information
and communication technology such as web technology.
Limitations:
It cannot stored the sensed data. It is used for monitoring
purpose only.
Proposed method:
The proposed system is for monitoring and predicting the output of solar
energy using IOT. Solar panel helps to store the energy .
Smart meter which includes the sensors such as volatage,current, Pressure,
temperature and humidity sensores connected to the Arduino. Those values
will be noted and given to the Thingspeak through the wifi module and
those values are simulated by Using matlab and the predicted values will
be shown in thingspeak as a graphical representation
Requirements:
•Solar panel
• Voltage sensor
•Current sensor
•Temperature sensor
•Humidity sensor
•Pressure sensor
•Arduino
•Power supply
•Wi-Fi module
•Liquid Crystal Display
Block Diagram:
Advantages:
• Educational Institutions
• Industrial applications
• Residential applications
Conclusion and Future Scope
The web app can be developed for interaction with the end user to
predict the values for future events.
During prediction two or more models can be used for same data
set, to find the accuracy of each model.
