“…Based on a wide range of experiences, Bruce et al [5] proclaim the RPi as a testbed platform for both hardware and software system exploration, provides a great potential for taking concepts into practice. Inspecting the previous research, we noticed that RPi laboratory set-up can be used for different purposes, such as: remote laboratory prototype [6,7], virtual [8] and hands-on laboratory type [5,[9][10][11][12]. Since our hands-on approach is related to assessing students' learning experience enhancement, we examine the third category in a more detail.…”

This paper presents low-cost laboratory which has been designed and developed to enhance learning experience and help students gain skills and knowledge in the field of distributed systems. In order to build a comprehensive distributed file system, we used the laboratory consisted of 40 card-sized Raspberry Pi devices, with the accent on stability, scalability, and its low-cost. Aiming to assess the impact of this new learning environment on the learning process and its outcomes, we surveyed students following the completion of three project stages during the 17 laboratory exercises in one academic year, assuring that we maintained the same subjects of study during the experiments. Supported by interesting answers on various set of questions, we provide a valuable insight into students' experience, obstacles and observations during system's implementation. This particular insight paves the way toward: 1. further laboratory's improvement, 2. adopting this approach in other courses related to ours, 3. encouraging teachers to embrace similar practice regardless of type of education field.

“…Recently, the possibility to use virtual reality or augmented reality in virtual labs has highly enhanced the quality of the potential didactic experience. Moreover, remote labs have the advantage, with respect to virtual labs, to allow the learners to control real experiments at distance [16][17][18][19][20]. The students have then to deal with the repeatability and the uncertainty of the measurements, the real behavior of the components and the effect that the surrounding environmental conditions can have on the experience.…”

In this paper, a new learning tool is proposed to train professional figures, such as entrepreneurs, engineers, and technicians, who need to improve their skills in the field of Internet of Energy. The proposed tool aims to cover the lack of experimental knowledge on new energy systems and to layer proper skills, which are useful to deal with challenges required by smart energy management in the new complex distributed configuration of the electric power systems, characterized by demand response services. This tool is based on a small-scale laboratory demonstrator, representative of a smart rural house, equipped with a measurement and control system. This demonstrator can be remotely accessed, through web server applications based on a low cost single-board computer. Trainers can have direct experience on the main concepts related to smart grids, renewable energy sources, electrochemical storage systems, and electric vehicles, through the use of the proposed tool managed by the web software interface.

“…According to [9], [10] and [11] photovoltaic systems constitute the application of solar energy that has experienced the greatest expansion in recent years, since one of the most energy efficient technologies is photovoltaic solar energy, considering [12]. The authors [1] and [13], are also considered, who state that photovoltaic systems influence their cells when photons of light are converted into electrical energy and when solar radiation affects an area of the photovoltaic material, the photons will cross the surface transforming energy.…”

Analysis of A Two-Axis Solar Tracker System: Case Study

et al. 2021

The environmental pollution that arose from the 20th century has led to the search for clean and renewable energies, so this research aims to determine the efficiency of a two-axis solar tracker system, through the analysis of the data obtained. In view of the fact that it remains perpendicular to the solar rays for a longer time, which automatically moves to the point where the radiation source is. Mathematical models were considered for this study based on parameters of time, voltage, solar radiation, temperature, ultraviolet radiation, inclination angles, and cardinal points, to which the panel was directed during the test days. The efficiency given by the solar panel was obtained as 15.34% on average among monocrystalline silicon solar panels. It was concluded with the analysis of the most relevant data that are, the voltage, the solar radiation, and the angle of inclination to determine with these three parameters if the dual-axis tracker system had an excellent capture of solar radiation in the test days, in order to make the collection and production of solar energy more efficient.
