Abstract
This project aims to develop a measurement of solar energy using Arduino Board technology. In this research, four parameters that been measured are temperature, light intensity, voltage and current. The temperature was measured using temperature sensor. The light intensity was measured using light dependent resistor (LDR) sensor. The voltage was measured using the voltage divider because the voltage generated by the solar panel are large for the Arduino as receiver. Lastly for the current was measured using the current sensor module that can sense the current generated by the solar panel. These parameters as the input value for the Arduino and the output was display at the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen. The LCD screen display output of the temperature, the light intensity, the voltage and the current value. The purpose of Arduino to convert the analog input of parameter to the digital output and display via LCD screen. Other than that, this project also involve with a design to ensure that device case are easy to be carry around.
Highlights
Rising fossil fuel and burning fuel such as coal, global warming and severe weather conditions have compelled many nations to look for alternative sources to reduce reliance on fossil based fuels
Photovoltaics was initially use as a power source for a small and medium-size applications from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to a remote homes powered by an off-grid rooftop photovoltaics system
This paper presented by Mohsen Taherbaneh et al [5] proposed the method based on simulation of two fuzzy controllers in order to maximize the generate the output power of solar panel in a photovoltaic system
Summary
Rising fossil fuel and burning fuel such as coal, global warming and severe weather conditions have compelled many nations to look for alternative sources to reduce reliance on fossil based fuels. [3] This paper presented by Arindam Bose et al [4] describe a potential a solar system using two set of stepper motor, the light sensor and the concave mirror The purpose of this project to improve the power collection efficiency 65% with developing the track of solar panel perpendicular. This paper presented by Mohsen Taherbaneh et al [5] proposed the method based on simulation of two fuzzy controllers in order to maximize the generate the output power of solar panel in a photovoltaic system. The results of the fuzzy-based maximum power point tracking with 23W with 51% and 11W with 24.5% from the nominal output power. Yi-Hua Liu et al in [6] presented the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method for low power photovoltaic system, 87W PV system. The PV panel with Aria Solar are 60W, with 25°C,1000W/m2
