Power Monitoring System in Solar Power Plant Using LabVIEW

We have Developed an IoT-based real-time solar power monitoring system in this paper. It seeks an opensource IoT solution that can collect real-time data and continuously monitor the power output and environmental conditions of a photovoltaic panel.The Objective of this work is to continuously monitor the status of various parameters associated with solar systems through sensors without visiting manually, saving time and ensures efficient power output from PV panels while monitoring for faulty solar panels, weather conditionsand other such issues that affect solar effectiveness.Manually, the user must use a multimeter to determine what value of measurement of the system is appropriate for appliance consumers, which is difficult for the larger System. But the Solar Energy Monitoring system is designed to make it easier for users to use the solar system.This system is comprised of a microcontroller (Node MCU), a PV panel, sensors (INA219 Current Module, Digital Temperature Sensor, LDR), a Battery Charger Module, and a battery. The data from the PV panels and other appliances are sent to the cloud (Thingspeak) via the internet using IoT technology and a Wi-Fi module (NodeMCU). It also allows users in remote areas to monitor the parameters of the solar power plant using connected devices. The user can view the current, previous, and average parameters of the solar PV system, such as voltage, current, temperature, and light intensity using a Graphical User Interface. This will facilitate fault detection and maintenance of the solar power plant easier and saves time.

Internet Of Things Technology

Internet of Things technology in this research is utilized on solar power plant (Case Study: Electrical Engineering Department of Trunojoyo Madura University) as a battery power monitoring and load control system. All of these systems were built to make it easier for users to manage the power consumption while preventing battery damage so that lifetime can last longer and the use of PLTS than more optimal. All of these systems are designed to use several integrated components with their respective functions, including Raspberry as a data processing, smartphone as an interface, and sensors actuator as input-output. From the results of the monitoring accuracy test, the average error value is 1.56%. After ensuring the system has a high level of accuracy, The charge-discharge test is conducted in real-time for 7 days, which shows that the system works according to the research objectives as evidenced by the nothingness of power consumption exceeding the SOC standard limit battery used by 30%. Meanwhile, for the control system test, the wifi connection has the fastest average delay for 10,30 s, provider A 11,17 s, and provider B 12,60 s.

The Internet of Things (IoT) or Web of Things (WoT) is a modern technology which is relating computing machines with digital and mechanical devices and various objects. Today energy crisis is one of the major issues in the world. To overcome this issue, different renewable energy sources are being used. Nowadays solar energy has become a best alternative resource for satisfying power demands. Selected Solar power plant for implementation is of 1 MW capacity and generating power of 1.5 Million units per year with the use of Poly crystalline type of solar panel technology. Currently this power plant is monitored by PLC. All records of energy can be monitored only at plant on SCADA Device. In this Proposed work, we develop a model of online solar power monitoring as well as controlling so authorized person can monitor or control panels remotely by home also. As per the change in the atmospheric or weather conditions, user can control the solar panels also.
