Abstract : The enormous utilization of traditional energy resources are influencing
in terms of greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2). These gas
emissions are resulting in global warming and harming the environment and
biodiversity. These traditional resources are limited; hence the problem of energy
crisis is occurred. As sun is highest energy generation source in universe. Also
sun energy is free and limitless, it doesn t harm environment as well as it can be
implemented at underutilized land. Solar power also helps to improve grid security.
Nowadays many companies are looking solar energy as an economic source. Governments
are supporting for solar energy generation activities so it is required to manage
these plants in very systematic manner and analyze the energy generation. The
proposed method is the real time technique which helps for controlling and
monitoring method of solar power plant using IoT. Solar power plant activities
cannot be remotely accessed and monitored by traditional PLC technology. So
approach of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning is introduced in
management of solar power systems. Internet of things is a combination of various
physical technologies along with cloud uses. Basic required terms are heterogeneous
network for communication of objects, required hardware of each object, and
processing / computing power of each object and security of each element in the
IOT. The solar power generation can be monitored and increased using this novel
method. Rotation of solar panels can be controlled using servomotors as per the sun
direction; hence it will enhance power generation efficiency. This is achieved by
designing a photovoltaic system, building the analog circuitry for proper voltage
and current readings, and creating a webserver that displays the monitored data in
a user-friendly charting interface. The webserver is in WAN (Wide Area Network) and
could therefore be accessed anywhere in the world that benefits from an Internet
connection.
