Remote Monitoring of Wind Speed and Produced Voltage Measured by Anemometer

Abstract

Anemometer is a device used to measure wind speed at weather measurement stations. An Anemometer, which is used to measure the wind speed of an area, is widely used in weather stations. With the anemometer, wind speed and weather forecasts of a certain region are made. In this study, the wind speed values of a sample anemometer in a certain region and the voltage produced by the anemometer for wind energy were remotely monitored via the Internet of Things. In the system created, Arduino Uno microcontroller development board for the control of the system, a sample anemometer for measuring wind speed and generating voltage, LCD shield for displaying wind speed and voltage values on the screen, esp8266 wifi module for sending instant data from the anemometer to the thingspeak IoT platform and for feeding the system. Solar panels and battery charge regulators are used. In this study, the wind speed in a certain region and the monitoring of voltage produced depending on the wind speed was monitored on an internet basis. The system was operated in a certain region and the wind speed values and the generated voltage were monitored both instantaneously on the LCD screen and graphically on the thingspek an IoT platform as instantaneous, hourly, daily and weekly. With this system created, the thingview application was used for instant tracking on android devices.
