Efficient solar power management system based on IoT

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most important technologies of everyday life,
which helps people live and smarter. An IoT is a device, which is used to enable the connection
between machine and the cloud. This technology helps to exchange the data between the
connected devices on the available network. Through the internet, the user can acquire the data
and control the devices from any place all over the world]. It is an ecosystem which consists of
web enabled gadgets that use processors, sensors and other communication hardware devices to
fetch and send the data. By using IoT we can set up machine to machine connection or device to
device connection without human interference. It also utilizes computing facilities and software
systems for information processing. The need for using IoT technology in this solar power
monitoring system is as the range of sun’s radiation is not fixed and may vary according to the
location, time and climatic conditions, the solar panels which are exposed to the sun always need
to be monitored. The solar panels can be monitored from any location by using IoT technology.
In today’s world, electricity is one of the most basic needs in everyone’s life. We need
electricity for heating, lighting, refrigeration, transportation systems and all the home appliances.
Day by day the energy consumption is getting rapidly increased whereas the energy resources are
decreasing in parallel. So, in order to balance the deficiency of electricity, various sources are
used to generate electricity. There are two ways available for the generation of electricity one is
by using renewable sources and the other one is by using non-renewable sources. Non-renewable
sources are such as coal, natural gas, fossil fuels while the renewable sources can be utilized
again and again such as sun, wind energy, tidal energy. Hence, solar power is said to be an
imperishable power source. Therefore, to overcome the issues related to scarcity of electricity an
IoT based solar power monitoring system is being proposed.
Solar power has become very trendy as it is available in abundance and solar power
generation is also cheaper in the conversion technology.

In this paper, Rooftop solar panels are becoming more popular these days, but in order to know
how effectively the solar photovoltaic system is working and for performance evaluation, there
should be some monitoring system. As the world is moving towards renewable energy and
nations like ICELAND have achieved 100% renewable energy status and India has also started to
lean towards renewable energy, a growing number of people are using renewable energy
sources. Some solar photovoltaic systems are inaccessible, making it impossible to monitor
them, and the solar panels are not use to their full effectiveness towards the day. To achieve this,
the solar panel was to observe the most sunlight possible at all times. Microcontroller and
internet of things technologies are used in the system to monitor the solar photovoltaic system.
The world now is turning towards renewable energy sources and countries like ICELAND have
obtained 100% renewable energy status of India has also started to lean towards renewable

monitor the power output and environmental conditions of a photovoltaic panel .The Objective of
this work is to continuously monitor the status of various parameters associated with solar
systems through sensors without visiting manually, saving time and ensures efficient power
output from PV panels while monitoring for faulty solar panels, weather conditions and other
such issues that affect solar effectiveness. Manually, the user must use a multimeter to determine

SOLAR POWER MANAGEMENT

3.1 What is Solar Power?


Solar power works by converting energy from the sun into power. There are two forms of
energy generated from the sun for our use-electricity and heat. Both are generated through the
use of solar panels, which range in size from residential rooftops to 'solar farms' stretching over
acres of rural lands.

Fig 3.1: Solar farm.


Photovoltaics were initially solely used as a source of electricity for small and medium-
sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to remote homes powered
by an off-grid rooftop PV system. Commercial concentrated solar power plants were first
developed in the 1980s. Since then, as the cost of solar panels has fallen, grid-connected solar PV
systems' capacity and production has doubled about every three years. Three-quarters of new
generation capacity is solar, with both millions of rooftop installations and gigawatt-scale
photovoltaic power stations continuing to be built.

Dept. of CSE, KIT, Tiptur Page 9


Efficient solar power management system based on IoT 2023-24
Efficient solar power management system based on IoT
In 2023, solar generated 5% of the world's electricity, compared to 1% in 2015, when the
Paris Agreement to limit climate change was signed. Along with onshore wind, in most
countries, the cheapest levelized cost of electricity for new installations is utility-scale solar.
Almost half the solar power installed in 2022 was rooftop. Much more low- carbon power
is needed for electrification and to limit climate change. The International Energy Agency said in
2022 that more effort was needed for grid integration and the mitigation of policy, regulation and
financing challenges.
3.2 Where does Solar Power come from?
It comes from within the sun itself. Like other stars, the sun is a big gas ball made up
mostly of hydrogen and helium. The sun generates energy in its core in a process called nuclear
fusion. During nuclear fusion, the sun's extremely high pressure and hot temperature cause
hydrogen atoms to come apart and their nuclei (the central cores of the atoms) to fuse or
combine. Four hydrogen nuclei fuse to become one helium atom. But the helium atom weighs
less than the four nuclei that combined to form it. Some matter is lost during nuclear fusion. The
lost matter is emitted into space as radiant energy.

Fig 3.2: Nuclear Fusion.

3.3 How is Solar Power generated?
Solar power is generated in two main ways: Solar photovoltaic (PV) uses electronic devices,
also called solar cells, to convert sunlight directly into electricity.
It is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies and is playing an increasingly
important role in the global energy transformation. The total installed capacity of solar PV
reached 710 GW globally at the end of 2020. About 125 GW of new solar PV capacity was
added in 2020, the largest capacity addition of any renewable energy source.

Fig 3.3: Solar photovoltaic system.


3.4 How it works?
All light contains energy. When light strikes an object that energy is usually converted into
heat. That's why we feel warm when we sit in the sun. When the sun's rays hit a semiconductor
material, however, they release electrons which are captured, funneled into a steam or electric
currents and put to use powering your home.

3.5 Benefits
Solar power offers many benefits over traditional forms of electrical generation:

 Solar power is non-polluting – unlike oil or coal, solar power does not emit
greenhouse gases.
 Solar Power is a renewable resource – unlike some fossil fuels, there is no
foreseeable shortage of supply.
 Solar Power is silent – the method used to find and extract oil can be extremely loud
(Even wind power can create a great deal of noise)
 Solar cells require little maintenance – there are no moving parts that must be
maintained.
 Solar cells are long lasting – efficiently generating power for 20- 30 years before they
need to be replaced.

METHODOLOGY

The solar panel converts sunlight into electrical energy and make sure to select an
appropriate panel size based on energy requirements. The voltage and current sensors are crucial
for monitoring the electrical parameters generated by the solar panel. They help in tracking the
power generation efficiency. The output from the solar panel is typically in the form of DC
voltage. A rectifier circuit is used to convert this into a usable form of electricity, ensuring
unidirectional flow. The output voltage from the solar panel may fluctuate depending on sunlight
intensity and other factors. A regulator helps stabilize the voltage to ensure consistent power
supply to the system. The Arduino Uno serves as the central processing unit for the system. It
collects data from the sensors, controls the power flow, and communicates with other
components. An LCD display can be used to provide real-time information about power
generation, consumption, battery status, etc. This helps users monitor the system easily.
Integrating a Wi-Fi module allows your system to connect to the internet, enabling remote
monitoring and control. This is crucial for IoT functionality. Arduino Uno and other components
require a stable power supply by using a separate power source or regulate the solar panel output
using a battery.
The voltage and current sensors monitor the output of the solar panel, send this data to the
Arduino Uno for processing. Arduino Uno processes the data received from sensors and decides
on the optimal power flow. It regulates the power output using the regulator. The processed data
is displayed on the LCD screen for local monitoring. Additionally, the Wi-Fi module enables
communication with external devices or servers for remote monitoring and control over the
internet. The system can be programmed to optimize power usage based on various factors such
as time of day, energy demand etc. Automation features can be implemented to ensure efficient
utilization of solar power. The system should include mechanisms to detect faults such as
overvoltage, overcurrent, or short circuits. It should also incorporate safety measures to prevent
damage to the components and ensure user safety.

Fig 5.1: Block diagram of solar power management system using IoT.

From the block diagram Solar Panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.
Voltage and Current Sensors measures the electrical voltage produced by the panels and monitors
the electrical current flowing through the system respectively. A rectifier circuit is used to
convert the solar panels DC output voltage into a usable form of electricity, ensuring
unidirectional flow. The output voltage from the solar panel may fluctuate depending on sunlight
intensity and other factors so, regulator helps to stabilize the voltage to ensure consistent power
supply to the system. The Arduino Uno (ATMEGA328P) serves as the main part for the system
by collecting data from the sensors, controls the power flow, and communicates with other
components. An LCD display (16x2) can be used to provide real-time information about power
generation, consumption, etc. This helps users to monitor the system easily. Integrating a Wi-Fi
module allows the system to connect to the internet, enabling remote monitoring and control.
