Real-Time Analysis of Parameters of Solar Panel

Abstract

This project propose a method for monitoring the performances of the PV (photovoltaic) systems. With the system of collecting, archiving and analyzing the data measured, we can monitor, define and subsequently interpret all positive and more significantly the negative external effects on the efficiency of the device. When planning the application of renewable energy sources , it is necessary to take decisions not only on the basis of more general and more profound knowledge than is currently available. In this system an X-Bee series 1 module has been used as trans-receiving system, which is then interfaced with Aurdino board. Here a CT is connected in the series with the line whose parameters is to be measured, since the precision circuit reads only voltage upto 5V, a burden is connected across CT to convert the value into equivalent voltage. Then the value is passed over to the precision circuit and then to Aurdino board. It is then passed over to the X-Bee module for transmission and an another module receives the signal that is being transmitted by the configured device. The receiving module is connected to a PC to decode the data to the end user.
