Real-Time Web Based Monitoring and Control of RES

تاریخ : نومبر ۲۰۱٦ - نومبر ۲۰۱٦

Renewable energy resources are getting priorities in the whole world to reduce the dependency on conventional resources. Solar energy is attaining the focus as an important means of expanding renewable energy uses. Solar cells that convert sun’s energy in to electrical energy are costly and inefficient. The proposed project presents the design and implement real-time web based monitoring and to control the solar energy through LabVIEW and Arduino platform in a highly secure environment. Its development is divided into two stages, which are hardware and software development. Hardware development consists of solar panel, Arduino board, current and voltage sensors and relays. Second phase is software development is based on National Instrument Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (NI LabVIEW) and it’s interfacing with Arduino board. In which GUI interface for users is provided. The proposed system not only extracting maximum energy from solar panels but also providing an effective and efficient method to real time control and monitor the progress of power generation and consumption within the system embedded in a highly secure environment. Although the monitoring interface uses real time measurement results to prepare the current and voltage graphs, it is also possible to record and reach database file to analyze history of renewable energy source (RES) system. This will also help to increase performance of the existing solar system also other alternative resources of energy such as wind energy and tidal energy. In this project monitoring feature includes power production, power consumption, power generation and power management with the help of graphs and meters on GUI interface. Controlling feature includes turn on/shutdown of solar system, increase or decrease energy consumption, generation and switching to other includes available system such as Wind energy system etc.
