This paper presents an open-source, ultra-low powered data-logger for off-grid photovoltaic (PV) energy systems. Deep-sleep mode of ESP32-S2 microcontroller is used along with voltage, current, and light sensors for logging the data of PV energy system to an external micro SD card. A toggle switch is used to switch the operational modes of data-logger between deep-sleep and web-server modes. Real-time PV data can be monitored in a local web-portal programmed in the microcontroller. The same web-portal is also used to check and download the historical data of a PV energy system. The energy consumption of the designed system is 7.33mWh during deep-sleep mode and 425mWh during the web-server mode. The total cost of the designed data-logger is C$ 30.

Planning And Design

This paper presents a techno-economic assessment for a unique Isolated Hybrid Power System (IHPS) design which could be used for remote areas isolated from the grid which also has the capability of being operated as a smart the hybrid energy system considering solar and wind energy sources for the purpose of street lighting. Solar-Wind Street light is an intelligent, small scale, and off grid LED lighting system. The modelling design and simulations were based on Simulations conducted using the Data collected and HOMER Energy Planning and Design software tools. Its components are solar panel, wind generator system (PVC blowers), Dynamo, LDRs, battery, LED light, charge controller. The energy stored in battery during day time due to solar panel, get extracted by LEDs during the night time (because LDRs get activated due to absence of sun light). Wind also charges the batteries due to wind which is used for glowing street light. The advantage of this idea is to avoid daily running cost and make the system purely off-grid. In this prototype, we have used 12V DC system to supply energy to the lights.

Selection of the most appropriate contractor for the installation of solar panels is essential to maximizing the benefit of this renewable, sustainable energy source. Solar energy is one of the 100% renewable energy sources, but implementation may not be very simple and cost-effective. A key phase in the implementation of renewable energy is the evaluation of contractors for the installation of solar panels, which is addressed as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. A new hybrid method is proposed that combines the stepwise weight analysis ratio assessment (SWARA) and full consistent method (FUCOM) weights that are represented as grey numbers used with traditional grey relational analysis (GRA) and evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) methods. The ranking of contractors by both methods is the same, which confirmed the results presented in this research. The use of the grey SWARA-FUCOM weighting method combined with the GRA and EDAS methods increased the decision-makers’ (DMs) confidence in awarding the installation of the solar panel energy system to the top-ranked contractor.

The Difference

The purpose of this study was to design a 3 Gross Tonnage (GT) fishing boat with a speed of 6 knots to obtain the shape and size of the vessel that is suitable for the water area that using the solar panel energy system. The ship was planned to travel about a maximum of 18 Km from the departure point. The steps of the research method for the design of fishing vessels include determining the principal size of the ship, making line drawings, drafting a general plan, construction design, ship tonnage capacity, electricity requirements, and then designing solar panel energy systems. This research resulted in a ship design with a length of 8 meters, 1.75 meters wide, and 1.3 meters high. Those specifications are used as constraints to determine the number of solar panels and batteries. To satisfy all of the goals, the 3 GT boat has limited 0.9KWh solar panels to travel for 9.7 NM (18 KM) at a speed of 6 knots, forcing daytime and night fishing fishermen to idle for 1 day. The difference is in the number of night fishing batteries that are 49% more than the daytime fishing which using 25 pcs 3.2V 100Ah. With the use of 51 pcs of battery, night fishing can move into daytime fishing so that it can fish more frequently than night fishing mode only

Design And Manufacture

This research discusses the design and manufacture of a voltage sag detection device using a data logger system. Voltage sag detection device to detect the presence of voltage sag which is one of the power quality problems in industrial electrical systems. Voltage sag can cause disturbances in electronic components that are sensitive to changes in voltage values. In this device, the voltage sag is detected using a voltage sensor by reading the RMS voltage from the PLN 220V AC source, then it is converted into a digital signal. The digital signal is sent to the ESP32 module to be processed and outputs a voltage value which is then displayed on the LCD Display. The voltage value data collection is carried out every <10ms and the data taken is the voltage value <90% of the rms voltage. The data taken is then saved to a micro SD card and displayed on the LCD Display. Several tests were carried out to ensure the performance of the voltage sag detector as designed. By switching the 110 / 220VAC transformer connected to the voltage sensor for 10 seconds, 12 seconds and 17 seconds. Based on these tests, the voltage sag detector can read and store the voltage sag data when the voltage read is below 90% of the rms voltage.

Selection Of

The age of industrialization and modernization has increased energy demands globally. Solar energy has been recognized as an inexhaustible source of energy and has been applied for desalination and electricity generation. Among different non-conventional energy resources, Solar Energy (SE) is one of the main contributors to the global energy system. A photovoltaic system (PS) is applied to produce SE using photovoltaic cells. The selection of a solar panel includes many intricate factors involving both subjective and quantifiable parameters; therefore, it can be regarded as a complex Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) problem. As the uncertainty commonly occurs in the selection of an ideal solar panel, the theory of Pythagorean fuzzy sets has been proven as one of the flexible and superior tools to deal with the uncertainty and ambiguity that arise in real-life applications. The aim of the study is to present an MCDM framework for solving the Solar Panel Selection (SPS) problem within the Pythagorean fuzzy (PF) environment. For this, first, a new integrated method is proposed based on the Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) and VlseKriterijumska Optimizcija I Kaompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) approaches in the Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs) context. In the proposed approach, subjective weights of the evaluation criteria are calculated by the SWARA method, and the preference order of alternatives is decided by the VIKOR method in the PF context. The criteria weights evaluated by this approach involve the imprecision of experts’ opinions, which makes them more comprehensible. The computational procedure of the proposed methodology is established through a case study of the SPS problem under PF environment, which proves the applicability and efficiency of the proposed method. Furthermore, this study performs sensitivity analysis to reveal the stability of the developed framework. This analysis signifies that the solar panel option R4 constantly secures its highest ranking despite how the parameter values vary. In addition, a comparative study is discussed to analyze the validity of the obtained result. The results show that the proposed approach is more efficient and applicable with previously developed methods in the PFS environment.
