Web Based Wind Energy Conversion System Monitoring

Abstract

Wind energy is a promising alternative energy source that can be used to produce electricity. Wind energy is converted into electrical energy by the principle of converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. This working system is often called the wind energy conversion system. Work equipment for this conversion process occurs at wind power plants. One part of the wind power generation system that is no less important is the monitoring section. Monitoring section functions to determine conditions and to control wind power plants. In this paper, a web-based monitoring system has been established. By using Arduino and a data logger system to store data on wind speed and voltage generated by the generator. Data obtained from the anemometer sensor and voltage sensor are processed by Arduino. Then the sensor data is stored on the SD card connected to the data logger shield. Furthermore, data can be viewed through the website based on data sent by GSM Shield sim900. So that users can monitor wind speed and voltage data through the website.
