When operating solar–wind power plants (SWPPs) located in populated areas, cases of premature failure of expensive batteries and other power equipment often occur. The purpose of this study is to develop a wireless data acquisition system (DAS) for the operation of an SWPP with a feedback function to prevent material damage from the failure of power equipment and to increase the efficiency of natural energy use. The principles of constructing a DAS, free from some of the disadvantages of analogues, are described in this paper. Intelligent wireless current and voltage sensors and a device for receiving and recording data with an additional feedback function have been developed, providing real-time feedback when the measured parameters go outside the norm. Measurement data are displayed on the laptop screen and alphanumeric display and stored on the hard drive along with timestamps and current event messages. An example of using a reverse communication channel to implement the functions of backup battery protection and to switch SWPP loads is described. The principles and methods proposed in this article are suitable for constructing systems for remote measurements of any physical quantities; therefore, the scope of application of the described system can be significantly expanded.

“…Although satisfactory performances have been realized, the solar cells in these designs are treated as the parasitic structure or reflector instead of the radiator, so the cost and system flexibility are not reduced effectively. Replacing the radiating patch with a single solar cell, an aperture coupled planar antenna was reported in [17]. A monopole antenna integrated with a solar cell for wearable applications was presented in [18].…”

A linearly polarized slot antenna integrated with solar cells is presented. The proposed antenna operates at the center frequency of 1.575 GHz for the global navigation satellite systems. 40 solar cells are adopted for the radiation structure and 4 slots are formed by these solar cells, which can not only be used for wireless communication but also generate DC energy via the photoelectric effect. The proposed design has achieved a relative bandwidth of 19.9% from 1.45 GHz to 1.77 GHz. Bidirectional radiation performance has been realized and the measured gain at 1.575 GHz is 6.6 dBi.

“…Such an integration can be particularly valuable for a CubeSat (a very small satellite designed with modular components to have a minimum payload) [4] as the antennas, when effectively integrated with the solar cells, do not compete with solar cells for the limited surface real estate. There have been four main types of integrations reported: (1) antennas integrated under solar cells [1,[5][6][7]; (2) antennas integrated on the same plane with or on the side wall perpendicular to solar cells [8][9][10]; (3) antennas integrated on top of solar cells [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and (4) parts of the solar cells function as antenna [19][20][21] (the antenna in [7] also belongs to this category as the solar cell above the antenna acts as a parasitic elements of the antenna). The third type of integration is of particular interest and promise to a CubeSat system as the antenna topology, especially when it is small or optically transparent, facilitates a possible modular design.…”

Abstract-A patch antenna integrated on the cover glass of a commercial space-certified solar cell is examined. Test fixtures were fabricated to study the antenna designed at 4.9 GHz when there was an active solar cell under the antenna. It is found that the solar cell affects the input impedance of the antenna and causes a 2-3 dB gain reduction. Repetitive tests were performed to confirm that the effect from solar cells on the antenna remained the same regardless of the working states of the solar cell, type of cover glass, or the assembly of the solar panel.
