Abstract:
Performance, quality and reliability issues are becoming more and more important for
the emerging photovoltaic market world. A computer based data acquisition system to
collect and monitor photovoltaic power generation system using Aduino has been
design and implemented in fish house. Prior to designing the data acquisition system,
a small sized PV power generation system, consisting of 8 module of PV panel, a
charger controller and a DC to AC inverter, has been assembled. At the same time,
Data-acquisition systems are widely used in renewable energy sources (RES)
application in order to collect data regarding the installed system performance, for
evaluating purposes. In this study, the development of a computer based system for
RES system for collecting data is described. The data analysed here are derived from
analytical monitoring data, hourly values and 15-minute- value in 24 hours. The
proposed system consists of a set of sensor for measuring both meteorological
(temperature sensor and ambient light sensor), storage data (microSD card) and
electrical parameters (photovoltaic voltage and current).
