Research on achieving a meteorological monitoring system to increase efficiency in the execution and operation of solar installations and to reduce environmental pollution

Abstract

Environmental protection alongside the economic and social cohesion are key pillars in the sustainable development of a country. In this context, the strategy of development of industries in Romania should promote modern technologies with as reduced environmental impact as possible. Therefore, determining how dispersion of the pollutants and identify weather events that cause the stagnation of pollutants in the atmosphere are a necessity in the industrial areas. On the other hand, the increased photovoltaic conversion efficiency by increasing the use of solar radiation, both in terms of execution as well as the operation of photovoltaic installations can be achieved as a result of detailed analysis of parameters and meteorological phenomena that define the area where the photovoltaic park will be located. Thus, this article presents a weather system consisting of six weather stations and a computer for keeping the data acquired. Each weather station acquires from where is assembled, information on the following variables: ambient temperature, solar radiation intensity, humidity, barometric pressure, altitude, wind speed, wind direction and rainfall.
