IoT Platform For Online Monitoring Of Renewable Energy Systems

Abstract

The integration of novel technology trends namely IoT and cloud computing in the renewable energy sector is an ambitious goal and it has a lot of benefits for the sector. In this work, an IoT platform for the online monitoring of renewable energy systems is proposed. The platform is based on low-cost novel technology hardware with open-source software which could solve several problems related to industrial monitoring and SCADA systems. As a proof of concept, an IoT-based monitoring system was developed for a grid-connected PV station in URERMS.
