Projeto e implementação de um sensor de radiação solar com arduino uno e célula de referência

Abstract

Our work is pointed toward planning a device for estimating all out solar radiation in light of a reference photovoltaic cell. The rule of this device is chiefly founded qualities of a photovoltaic cell where sun oriented radiation is corresponding to the short circuit current, wich is estimated by a resistor.The voltage difference at these connections is measured by acquisition using a functional amplifier and then recorded into an analogue-to-digital converter for further processing. The Arduino Uno platform was chosen to process and display in real-time the solar radiation received from the reference cell surface. The affordable device has a wide range of uses, including monitoring solar radiation in both stand-alone and grid-connected photovoltaic power plants. The decision to utilize the Proteus design software environment has proven to be a key factor in the successful testing and validation of the device's performance. This integrated platform has enabled the efficient implementation and simulation of the hardware and software components, ultimately leading to the development of a cost-effective and reliable solar radiation estimation solution.
