The main objective of the article is to stimulate interest of the consumers for the green energy considering the environmental and the financial impact (in this case by increasing productivity) of this one. For these arguments, this article proposes a real application, with autonomy in the power supply, for control the temperature in the hive using energy from alternative sources (through a solar panel). The temperature regulation is controlled by a microcontroller. For setting the temperature of the hive some bees are used at the expense of honey production. If there would be no need to adjust the temperature of the hive bees when the hive would increase productivity (worker bees population and honey production).

This paper presents one application of industrial robots in the automation of renewable energy production. The robot supports remote performance monitoring and maintenance of salinity gradient solar ponds. The details of the design, setup and the use of the robot sampling station and the remote Data Acquisition (DAQ) system are given here. The use of a robot arm, to position equipment and sensors, provides accurate and reliable real time data needed for autonomous monitoring and control of this type of green energy production. Robot upgrade of solar ponds can be easily integrated with existing systems. Data logged by the proposed system can be remotely accessed, plotted and analysed. Thus the simultaneous and remote monitoring of a large scale network of ponds can be easily implemented. This provides a fully automated solution to the monitoring and control of green energy production operations, which can be used to provide heat and electricity to buildings. Remote real time monitoring will facilitate the setup and operations of several solar ponds around cities.

With the development of wireless communication technology and computer technology, more and more smart technologies have been applied in electricity distribution networks. This paper presents an adaptive current differential protection and fast auto-closing system for application in 10 kV distribution networks in China Southern Power Grid. The current differential protection can adaptively change its settings according to the topology change of the primary distribution networks, thus the system effectively reduces the operation and maintenance cost of the power distribution network. In order to restore the power supply for the healthy part of the 10 kV networks quickly after a power system fault is cleared, the protection and control system provides wide area control function for automatic fault isolation and automatic switching. The traditional overcurrent protection and control system have no fault location function, it may take several minutes or even hours to manually locate a fault and then restore the power supply. Compared with the protection and control system of the traditional 10 kV distribution networks, the system developed can locate and isolate faults within 900 ms (assuming that the operating time of the load switch is 700 ms), and can quickly restore power supply in less than one second after a power system fault is cleared.

Abstract This paper presents design and development of solar power monitoring and control through GSM network in rural application. This system includes a GSM mobile and GSM hardware installed at solar system with 12VDC power for solar power monitoring along with temperatures (ambient and battery). This system is designed to conceptualizing how much solar power transferred to batteries and temperature conditions for that instant of time. Hardware is developed for the continuous update to the targeted station using GSM. The developed hardware gets the signal from the installed location calculate the real time power and temperature parameters. This information transferred to targeted mobile station through GSM interface using texting service (SMS). At the receiving end, power monitoring system is used to maintain the power to batteries profile locally. An easy, cost proficient and consistent working model of whole system has been developed which may be incorporated for data acquisition. Also the same system can use for uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems.

Abstract With the increase of load and clean-green energy connect to the power system, big challenges are brought to the traditional control method of generation-follows-load (GFL). Therefore, it is important to study the load-follows-generation (LFG) models which can achieve active demand response by changing the load temporarily to reduce the difference between maximum and minimum load. This paper introduces the concept of LFG and GFL models, summarizes the difference between them and puts forward the concept of load-source duality at first. Then, introduces load response modeling, optimization objectives, constraints, scheduling methods and control methods of six LFG models based on the recent research results in this area. Each model can alleviate the pressure in maintaining stability on the generation side, improving the safety and reliability of the power system. Finally, this paper puts forward the future development trend of LFG models based on the overviews.
