Development of an Economical SCADA System for Solar Water Pumping in Iran

Abstract

In this paper, we developed a cost-effective SCADA system for a solar water pumping system in Iran. The SCADA is based on IoT versions and is comprised of a raspberry pi zero W, Arduino nano, camera, SIM 5320A 3G module, voltage, current, and light sensors. We used Node-RED to design a graphical user interface and published it securely to the worldwide internet. This allows a user to connect to the server via an IP address and monitor and control the system. The implementation of the project resulted in an open-source server and cost around CAD$ 162.38.
