Project Summary

A smart world is nothing but Smart devices, Smartphones, Smart cars, Smart homes and Smart cities. “Smart” objects play a key role in the vision of IoT, since embedded communication and information technology would have the potential to revolutionize . With the growing presence of WiFi and 4G-LTE wireless Internet access, the evolution towards omnipresent information and communication networks is already evident [13]. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Renewable energy will be the fastestgrowing source of electricity, in which wind and solar PV are technologically mature and economically affordable. But still there is increase in world’s demand for energy. Adopting Renewable Energy technologies is one of the advance ways of reducing the environmental impact.

Solar energy is universally available all over the world and can contribute to minimize the dependence of energy imports. In 90 minutes, enough sunlight strikes the earth to provide the entire planet's energy needs for one year. Solar PV leads to no greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other pollutants during operation. Solar has many benefits like system-friendly deployment, improved operating strategies, advanced renewable energy forecasting and enhanced scheduling of power plants and also investment in additional flexible resources, comprising demand-side resources, electricity storage, grid infrastructure and flexible generation. About a million solar panels were installed every day around the world last year. Solar PV leads providing almost 40% of global renewable electricity capacity growth over the medium-term. Finally, in analyzing the evolution of electricity and energy- consuming sectors, it explores the prime role solar energy could play in the long-term future of our energy system.

Applications of the monitoring system are the Rooftop Solar, Ground mounted Solar, Solar cities, Smart villages, Micro grids and Solar Street lights. Consumer Products like solar water heating systems, Solar home lighting systems, solar lanterns, solar pumps, solar mobile chargers, solar cookers, LED solar torch, solar RO plant, solar fan, solar Inverters, etc. can be monitored through this project. Commercial Products like Solar traffic signals, solar road studs/blinkers can also be monitored through the proposed system.

In Pakistan, frequent power cut is very common. Due to this issue, it is important to use renewable energy and monitoring it. By monitoring the energy forecast, households and communities who are using solar power can utilize their energy production and consumption during good weather.

Project Objectives

The main objective of this proposed work is to Power of the system can be monitor using the current and voltage value sensed by the arduino. The monitor of the solar energy system shows the power and energy usage. This system helps to implement in smart grid for efficient usage.

Project Implementation Method

The proposed system is for monitoring of solar energy using IoT. Solar panel helps to store the energy in the battery. Battery has the energy which is useful for the electrical appliances. Battery is connected to the Arduino. Arduino is a micro controller which is used to read the sensor values. Current sensor and voltage divider are connecting to the Arduino. Arduino is connected to Raspberry pi through USB cable. Raspberry pi(RPi) is working as a server. The data from the arduino is display on the web page through RPi. The monitoring data upload to the cloud through RPi

Benefits of the Project

Because of frequent power cut it is important to use renewable energy and monitoring it. Monitoring guides the user in analysis of renewable energy usage. This system is cost effective. The system efficiency is about 95%.This enables the efficient use of renewable energy. The temperature sensor helps to analysis the storage of the solar energy. Thus it is reducing the electricity issues.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The proposed system refers to the online display of the power usage of solar energy as a renewable energy. This monitoring is done through raspberry pi using flask framework. Smart Monitoring displays daily usage of renewable energy. This helps the user to analysis of energy usage. Analysis impacts on the renewable energy usage and electricity issues.
