IoT-Based Data Logger for solar systems applications

Abstract

A data logger is an electronic device that senses temperature, relative humidity, and other characteristics such as voltage and pulse by combining analog and digital measurements with programming methods. Thus, data acquisition systems (DAQSs) are frequently used in PV facilities to capture all system data to analyze and optimize plant performance. The major purpose of the project is to create a low-cost DAQS. The suggested monitoring system has been used to continuously gather and display the electrical output characteristics of a stand-alone PV system. PV produced voltage, current, and power are examples of such parameters. Furthermore, because the PV module short circuit current is directly proportional to the molar concentration, the global solar radiation may be determined by monitoring it. The proposed system is considered a good solution for collecting the system database to be ready for the analysis and optimization of the PV plant’s performance. The configurations of software and hardware of the proposed system are presented, and the proposed system's performance is tested when integrated with a small size PV system.

Hydrogen Production and Applications: A review

“…Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate electricity, which is then utilized to power an electrolyze, enabling the splitting of water (H2O) into Hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) through electrolysis. However, it is essential to note that this approach's production and installation costs are higher than fossil fuels, making the process less efficient [17] Innovative approaches, such as using magnetic fields, light energy, and ultrasonic techniques, have been explored to enhance the efficiency of solar-powered water electrolysis [18]. Additionally, another study focused on improving the efficiency and performance of refueling stations for Hydrogen [19].…”

Real-Time Fault Identification of Photovoltaic Systems Based on Remote Monitoring with IoT

“…Initially, these methodologies have been developed for the monitoring of electrical variables, but later they have been used for other applications such as estimates of operating states. [9,[11][12][13][14].…”
