Design and implementation solar photovoltaic monitoring system for heterojunction intrinsic thin (hit) solar panel

Design and implementation solar photovoltaic monitoring system for heterojunction intrinsic thin (hit) solar panel / Muhammad Helmi Harun
Fotovoltan menjadi semakin popular, sebagai sumber tenaga boleh diperbaharui mesra alam kerana ia tidak menghasilkan pencemaran dan memerlukan penyelenggaraan yang minimum. Terdapat pelbagai jenis panel PV dan panel ini bertindak berbeza dalam iklim dan keaadan operasi yang berlainan. Walaupun sistem pemantauan untuk prestasi PV tersedia, biasanya sistem ini agak mahal, Projek ini melibatkan reka bentuk dan pelaksanaan sistem pemantauan fotovoltaik solar menggunakan pengawal mikro. Sistem pemantauan solar akan digunakan untuk memantau prestasi panel PV HIT di bawah keadaan operasi yang berbeza di iklim cuaca tropika Malaysia. Projek ini menggunakan Arduino Mega 2560 sebagai unit kawalan untuk mengumpul parameter dari panel PVT HIT dan PV. Sistem perekod data juga dilaksanakan untuk menyimpan semua parameter yang dikumpulkan dalam kad SD. Sistem pemantauan diuji di makmal kuasa Bangunan Elektrikal dan Elektronik dahulu sebelum data sebenar dikumpulkan di atas bumbung Bangunan Elektrikal dan Elektronik. Ini untuk memastikan tiada teduhan pada panel dan sinaran sepenuhnya dapat dikumpulkan semasa di tapak. Daripada data yang dikumpulkan, panel HIT dengan pengumpul haba berasaskan air mempunyai 12% hingga 14% keluaran kuasa yang lebih baik berbanding dengan panel HIT tanpa pengumpul haba berasaskan air. Keseluruhan sistem pemantauan PV data telah berjaya mengumpulkan parameter PV dan membenarkan prestasi panel HIT pada keadaan yang berbeza untuk dinilai. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Photovoltaic is becoming increasingly popular, as environment friendly renewable energy source due to it able produces no pollution and requires minimal maintenance. There are a lot of types of PV panels and these panel behave differently in different climates and operating conditions. While monitoring system for PV performance are available, there are usually expensive. This project involved design and implementation solar photovoltaic monitoring system using microcontroller. The solar monitoring system will be used to monitor the HIT PV panel performance under different operating conditions in Malaysian tropical weather climate. This project using Arduino Mega 2560 as control unit to collect important panel parameters from HIT PVT panel and PV. Data logger system was also implemented to store all the parameters collected on SD card. The monitoring system was first tested in School of Electrical and Electronic Power Laboratory before an actual data were gathered at the rooftop building of School of Electrical and Electronic. This to ensure no shading on the panel and complete irradiance profile of the site can be collected. From the data collected, it was found that the HIT panel with thermal water collector has 12% to 14% better power output compare to HIT panel without thermal water collector. Overall the data PV monitoring system has successfully gathered important PV parameters and allow performance of HIT panel on different conditions to be assessed.
