Optimization of sensor model for solar radiation measurement with a pyranometer

Abstract

Solar energy is electromagnetic energy produced in a thermonuclear process by the Sun from the nuclear fusion of the Sun’s core. This process produces solar radiation. In the lives of living beings on this Earth, solar radiation plays a significant role. As mentioned earlier, the uses are when there is a certain level required for the solar radiation received and vice versa. A more specific measurement of solar radiation is, therefore, needed. Unfortunately, until now, measurement equipment for solar radiation was limited to a few parameters that could be observed. On the other hand, conventional mechanisms and communication media are still used in the current measurement monitoring system, so that the monitoring and analysis process is ineffective. Therefore, this paper provides a solar radiation sensor model that uses only a sensor but can produce four parameters. The system contains a Pyranometer and a realtime controller that can generate all of the solar radiation measurements needed. The proposed model system is hoped that this sensor system will work more accessible and more efficiently.
