Remote control and monitoring of the Aguereb-Jemna Kébili photovoltaic pumping station

Abstract

The work presented in this paper aims for the study and implement an acquisition system and remote control of a photovoltaic pumping station. The proposed system, built around an Arduino board and a GSM module enables the characterization parameters of a photovoltaic pumping station and transmission of a different measures to the operator by GSM network. Indeed, using his mobile phone, the operator can control or monitor the system by sending a simple SMS that contains an order, or receiving a report message that informs him about the recent state of the system. The proposed work is presented as a simple and easy solution that can be used to ensure good control of photovoltaic pumping stations in the desert areas.
