“…Accordingly, to reduce their whole-life costs and to mitigate the undesirable loss of PV power generation, the continuous monitoring of residential PV systems is important [5]. PV monitoring, particularly at the panel level, is attracting much attention because this approach allows for the quick detection of faults that cause reductions in PV energy production, while also enabling efficient maintenance processes [4,6].…”

Given the rapidly increasing market penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in many fields, including construction and housing, the effective maintenance of PV systems through remote monitoring at the panel level has attracted attention to quickly detect faults that cause reductions in yearly PV energy production, and which can reduce the whole-life cost. A key point of PV monitoring at the panel level is cost-effectiveness, as the installation of the massive PV panels that comprise PV systems is showing rapid growth in the market. This paper proposes an implementation method that involves the use of a panel-level wireless PV monitoring module (WPMM), and which assesses the cost-effectiveness of this approach. To maximize the cost-effectiveness, the designed WPMM uses a voltage-divider scheme for voltage metering and a shunt-resistor scheme for current metering. In addition, the proposed method offsets the effect of element errors by extracting calibration parameters. Furthermore, a design method is presented for portable and user-friendly PV monitoring, and demonstration results using a commercial 30-kW PV system are described.

“…The photovoltaic system management has been introduced by Jinsoo Han [5] inorder to improve the home energy management which is based on PLC that includes PLC modem, Renewable Energy Gateway and smart device source. By using power line, the PLC modems communicate with REG and it transmits the direct current power which is generated by using PV modules to the grind-connected inverter.…”

This paper reports research undertaken to develop a user-friendly home energy monitoring system which is capable of collecting, processing and displaying detailed usage data. The system allows users to monitor power usage and switch their electronic appliances remotely, using any web enabled device, including computers, phones and tablets. The system aims to raise awareness of consumer energy use by gathering data about usage habits, and displaying this information to support consumers when selecting energy tariffs or new appliances.To achieve these aims, bespoke electrical hardware, or 'nodes', have been designed and built to monitor power usage, switch devices on and off, and communicate via a Wi-Fi connection, with bespoke software, the 'server'. The server hosts a webpage which allows users to see a real-time overview of how power is being used in the home as well as allowing scheduled tasks and triggered tasks (which respond to events) to be programmed. The system takes advantage of well standardised networking specifications, such as Wi-Fi and TCP, allowing access from within the home, or remotely through the internet. The server runs under Debian Linux on a Raspberry Pi computer and is written in Python, HTML and JavaScript. The server includes advanced functionality, such as device recognition which allows users to individually monitor several devices that share a single node. The openPicus Flyport is used to provide Wi-Fi connectivity and programmable logic control to nodes. The Flyport is programmed with code compiled from C. 1 IntroductionThe management of electrical energy supply to meet the growing demand without contributing more to the green-house gas problem is a major task. At consumer level various forms of smart meters have been introduced by electricity suppliers to inform customers of their energy usage profiles and these have enabled the suppliers to obtain useful demand profiles. However some smart meters do not provide a breakdown of which appliances contribute to the overall demand profile. This has been a problem and smart meters are already termed to be 'not so smart meters ' [24]. There is great interest in developing useful, secure, low-cost technologies to monitor and record domestic energy usage and allow users to have more control over their energy usage.Perhaps in the future such systems may even be able to automatically switch energy provider on their owners behalf, depending on which companies offer the cheapest, greenest energy. The technology could also be used to deliver targeted advertising to users supported by savings estimates based on the real usage data that the system collects.None of the existing 'smart meter' solutions offered by energy suppliers to private homes in the UK are able to control devices around the home. Input into the National Grid in the UK is almost entirely comprised of plants which are unable to quickly change their rate of supply, (for example, gas, coal, nuclear) or worse, have an unreliable rate of supply e.g.wind. Since mass produced el...
