DEVELOPMENT OF A DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HYBRID RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a data acquisition and control system for electricity production system using hybrid renewable energy sources including solar cell, wind and diesel generators. The system was connected through microcontroller board ‘Raspberry Pi’ and transmitted meteorological data via Port RS 845. Weather data and electrical potential energy values were processed on Linux operating system written in C,C++ language to be used for analysis and control of the system. The results indicate that Raspberry Pi board can display parameters on web browser and download Excel data file to be connected with memory storage. The board also is cheaper than imported data acquisition system. This system enables the user to control autonomous diesel generator and transform it in various appropriate ways.
