“…There are multiple variants of nano-computer on the market that, relatively, encounter those conditions such as Orange PI, Odroid, Banana Pi M3 , Raspberry PI3 and Arduino [8]. We chose the Raspberry Pi3 card after a comparative study, because it is the most appropriate among all the other cards [7].…”

“…The installation of the Sunny Explorer application is now possible after the launch of the Windows 10 operating system on the ARM platform of Raspberry PI3, which resolves our old compatibility problem between Windows applications and the ARM architecture. The proposed alternative is to use the SBFSpot application and the PVOutput [7] is an open source project to get actual and archive data out of the inverters over Bluetooth, it allows retrieving data from the inverters via Bluetooth, while the PVOutput stores the data and processing them into graphical figure. We also note that we developed our own interface application for the results visualization.…”

Photovoltaic systems and monitoring go hand in hand. There is no better way to check the health of your photovoltaic system than to utilize a remote monitoring system. Monitoring and tracking of photovoltaic systems are crucial for reliable functioning and optimal yield of any solar electric system. This paper aims to introduce a remote electronic monitoring system. The said system will allow us to retrieve, process and transfer, in real-time, the photovoltaic station data remotely. The main objective of this work is to build a robust system that could be said as a reliable and low-price system, which will allow the transfer of the installation state to the remote operator in real-time or store it on an online database. Our intelligent wireless system is contained two parts, the first part including a hardware system designed around a microcontroller card (the Raspberry pi3 card) and a second part including the software part, which is the installation and configuration of open source applications on the Raspberry card. On the other hand, the configuration of an online database is presented. The database will offer us the possibility to store and process the station's data remotely and in real-time. Moreover, we also developed an application that plays the role of an interface for our monitoring Raspberry Pi3 machine.

“…The data transmission may be based on a single wireless network technology, such as IEEE 802.11/Wi-Fi [6], [7],Bluetooth [8], IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee [9] [10] or GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) [11], or may be based on a hybrid network, such as a Bluetooth/Wi-Fi solution [12]. In this case, a gateway is used to perform the conversion of the exchanged data packets between the different protocols.…”

Currently, in electrical energy sector, due to the population growth and the increasing energy consumption demand, the electrical grid is becoming more and more complex. This creates new challenges in term of electrical energy management. Our contribution in this area, presented in this paper, consists of the design, implementation and test of a wireless monitoring and control system for household electrical appliances. This system offers to the residential customers a helpful tool to monitor and control the energy consumption of their household appliances. The developed system is composed by a set of components connected to each other using wireless network technologies: the monitoring devices, the gateway and the client devices (with the respective user interface). For the development of this system, we opted to use a hybrid wireless network solution based on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). We describe the design and the implementation of the monitoring device hardware, as well as the calculation methodologies to obtain the electrical quantities and to reduce as much as possible the measurement errors. This paper describes also the development of the BLE/Wi-Fi gateway and the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The performance of the developed monitoring device was evaluated by means of experimental tests, where we achieved a voltage measurement error below 0.2% and a current measurement error below 0.5%.

The need to manage, control and reduce energy consumption has led researchers to propose reliable solutions based on new technologies to achieve this goal. Our contribution in this subject is presented in this paper and consists of the design, implementation and testing of a home energy monitoring system. The presented system is dedicated for residential customers and allows the monitoring and control of the energy consumption, based on distributed and central processing. The system includes distributed monitoring devices, a gateway and a graphical user interface (GUI). To connect the all parts we use a hybrid wireless solution based on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy standards. We present the design and the implementation of the monitoring device hardware as well as the embedded software used to calculate the electrical quantities. We also present the calibration methodology used to eliminate gain and offset errors. In terms of performance test results, we have achieved voltage measurement accuracy below 0.2% and current measurement accuracy below 0.5%. A GUI was also developed for the user to visualize and control remotely the household appliances.
