Abstract(s)
Renewable energy systems are quickly becoming one of the most efficient way to generate electricity. Solar energy is one of the most appealing renewable energy sources for electrification.
Harnessing solar energy requires a photovoltaic system that converts light energy from the sun into direct electricity. Therefore, to evaluate its performance, real-time monitoring system is needed. Some of photovoltaic system are installed in inaccessible locations and thus unable to be monitored from a dedicated location, so the monitoring must be remotely using web based interfaces. This project proposes to develop a prototype based on IoT technology for monitoring remotely and evaluating the performance of a solar photovoltaic system. This will facilitate preventive maintenance, fault detection, historical analysis, in addition to real time monitoring. For the project development, an ESP32 device is used to measure a set of sensors and transmit them through the MQTT
protocol via WiFi technology to a MQTT Broker that manages and publishes data to a flow editor named Node-RED to be collected and sent to a database named InfluxDB, where data are stored and secured, and finally a visualization platform named Grafana, displays the measurements to be analyzed over time.
