“…However, several additional functions are also required by autonomous systems, ensuring economic management of the electric power whilst reducing the cost of maintenance [4]. On such an effective and universal device is the programmable logic controller, which can perform a range of tasks, formulated as algorithms [5][6][7]. Here are some of the functions not normally covered by common MPPT controllers: 1 Automatic selection of power source based on a pre-set priority order, giving preference to the lowest unit price for energy (kWh).…”

-This research presents the architecture of a low-cost environmental technology platform for in situ monitoring fire risk characteristics of the Maiandeua Island at Amazonian, during the year 2013. This isle is a case study of the anthropized forest area, whose goal is to characterize the climatic behavior with environmental variables of temperature and humidity, all to identify environmental impacts on human health and biodiversity of the forest. The BRASSEN (Brasil System Sensor) platform contains an embedded expert system to detect the risk or without risk (safety) of fire at inhabited forest environments. The results of empirical experiments with this platform are provided. The period of highest understorey fire risk occurs between the months of June and November. Therefore, this work considers a novel study in IN-SITU (local) technologies in inhabited forest areas.

“…PV monitoring systems allow for timely replacement of faulty components as well as the replacement of underperforming parts. Thus far, low cost data acquisition systems have been developed in the research setting [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. As many PV systems are located in areas that are difficult to access, some devices have incorporated concepts of low-maintenance and automated data collection into their designs.…”

Abstract. This paper presents the design of a low-cost data acquisition system for monitoring a photovoltaic system's electrical quantities, battery temperatures, and state of charge of the battery. The electrical quantities are the voltages and currents of the solar panels, the battery, and the system loads. The system uses an Atmega328p microcontroller to acquire data from the photovoltaic system's charge controller. It also records individual load information using current sensing resistors along with a voltage amplification circuit and an analog to digital converter. The system is used in conjunction with a wall power data acquisition system for the recording of regional power outages. Both data acquisition systems record data in micro SD cards. The data has been successfully acquired from both systems and has been used to monitor the status of the PV system and the local power grid. As more data is gathered it can be used for the maintenance and improvement of the photovoltaic system through analysis of the photovoltaic system's parameters and usage statistics.
