“…Low-cost monitoring systems is a relevant topic, especially for academic and research applications where financial budgets are often limited. Therefore, efforts have been made for a cheaper solution to collect and display data from electricity, gas or environmental sensors in experimental microgrids [15, 16, 17, 18], given industrial solutions are often expensive and not suitable for small scale applications.…”

This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system based on a Web interface to be applied to a Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) microgrid. This development will provide a reliable and low-cost control and data acquisition systems for the Renewable Energy Laboratory at Universitat Politècnica de València (LabDER-UPV) in Spain, oriented to the research on microgrid stability and energy generation. The developed low-cost SCADA operates on a microgrid that incorporates a photovoltaic array, a wind turbine, a biomass gasification plant and a battery bank as an energy storage system. Sensors and power meters for electrical parameters, such as voltage, current, frequency, power factor, power generation, and energy consumption, were processed digitally and integrated into Arduino-based devices. A master device on a Raspberry-PI board was set up to send all this information to a local database (DB), and a MySQL Web-DB linked to a Web SCADA interface, programmed in HTML5. The communications protocols include TCP/IP, I2C, SPI, and Serial communication; Arduino-based slave devices communicate with the master Raspberry-PI using NRF24L01 wireless radio frequency transceivers. Finally, a comparison between a standard SCADA against the developed Web-based SCADA system is carried out. The results of the operative tests and the cost comparison of the own-designed developed Web-SCADA system prove its reliability and low-cost, on average an 86% cheaper than a standard brandmark solution, for controlling, monitoring and data logging information, as well as for local and remote operation system when applied to the HRES microgrid testbed.

“…Other work has been undertaken which utilises the MQTT / node-RED framework that is used in the Talk2Lab system. These include work by Poongothai et al [19] which utilises IoT devices with MQTT / node-RED to provide information on energy efficiency in a test lab environment, and work by Austerjost et al [20] which reports on a technical implementation of a voice layer on top of MQTT / node-RED.…”

“…Tools used for testing real network and laboratory IoT communication infrastructure environments are also open-source tools, namely Wireshark [23], Zabbix [24] and Iperf [25].Since IoT is a very attractive topic that attracts a lot of attention, various IoT laboratory environments are already proposed in the literature. Most of the proposed laboratories are located on campuses and mainly serve for educational purposes [26][27][28]. In [27] the author presents a wisdom laboratory based on IoT for campus purposes, such as student education or improvement of the quality of life and study.…”

“…The main goal of such laboratories is to introduce students to IoT and give them basic knowledge in the IoT field. These IoT laboratories for education purposes are typically equipped with common sensors like temperature and humidity sensors, and controllers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi [26]. In [26], the authors have designed and implemented a smart laboratory system using IoT technology for remote energy monitoring and to control appliances inside their lab.…”

The steady increase of the world population and economy leads to an increase in both types and amounts of goods transported over seas, which further inevitably leads to an increase of criminal activities in the maritime arena. In order to stifle criminal activities nations are forced to develop sophisticated sensor networks. The backbone of any sensor network is a communication network which connects all sensors with the command centers, most often located hundreds of kilometers away from the sensors. In developing countries, communication networks are very often poorly developed, leaving only satellite links as somewhat reliable means of communication. Henceforth, in this paper, a laboratory for the Internet of Things (IoT) communication infrastructure environment designed to facilitate maritime sensor network design process in areas where communication network is dependent on data transfer over satellite links is presented. In order to successfully describe and develop a laboratory for IoT communication infrastructure environment, necessary data are collected during the design and deployment of a maritime surveillance network in the Gulf of Guinea. The main advantage of the proposed laboratory environment is the inclusion of satellite link simulation in the IoT laboratory environment. This feature provides an opportunity to cover a much broader scope of IoT solutions compared to other IoT laboratories.2 of 20 fishing [5]. More importantly, overly excessive fishing can lead to the complete depletion of biological resources and thus endanger the marine ecosystem to the point of no return [6]. On the other hand, according to [7], maritime piracy is becoming quite common in some regions of the world. Attacks are mostly performed in order to hijack a vessel and request a ransom for crew and vessel itself or to steal valuable cargo such as crude oil. Regardless of the final goal of the pirate attack, it is clear pirate attacks must be stopped. The very same is true for illegal fishing, which is probably even more important, since permanently damaging oceans ecosystems will definitely endanger a human survival on this planet.In order to provide a safer maritime environment, firstly a sensor network for continuous monitoring of maritime activities in territorial sea and EEZ must be established. On the other hand, since EEZs are huge bodies of water that can cover hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, complete monitoring is much easier said than done. To the best of our knowledge, there are only two ways to achieve complete EEZ monitoring. The first approach utilizes optical and microwave sensors on platforms such as satellites and airplanes, thus avoiding the limitations of the sensors, but this introduces limitations in the platform. The most limiting factor is the interrupted data availability, since no airplane is able to stay in the air constantly during the whole year and during all weather conditions. Meanwhile, satellites, which are orbiting around the Earth, are over the zone of interest for a limited tim...
