Design and Implementation of IoT based PV Integrated Power Monitoring System

Abstract. The awareness of usage of power and effective utilization of power is based on intelligent decision, which can help the user as well as supplier. In this paper the design and implementation of IOT based PV integrated system is presented. A hardware prototype is developed with PV module connected to boost converter, Arduino Uno controller, ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module, and Thing speak to monitor a real-time power. The Arduino Uno serves as the central controller, gathering data from smart power meters and PV modules for solar energy generation. The collected data is wirelessly delivered to the ThingSpeak, which provides cloud-based storage, data analysis, and visualization. With these users may remotely monitor usage of power, track solar energy generation, and get notifications for energy utilization.

Introduction

The fast growth of Internet of Things (IoT) has opened the way for cutting-edge solutions in a variety of fields, including power monitoring and management. With increased concerns about energy efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability, intelligent systems that can monitor and optimize power use in real-time are in high demand. IoT with cloud-based monitoring has been marked as a versatile tool for visualization and compatibility with other devices and transmit to cloud by making an idea for low-cost solutions. In answer to this demand, this paper provides an IoT-based smart power monitoring system. The goal of this paper is to provide an intelligent and user-friendly power monitoring system that enables people to make educated decisions about their energy consumption. The system provides power usage patterns, recognizing possible energy waste, and offering personalized optimization recommendations. Furthermore, the incorporation of renewable energy sources via the PV module adds to the use of clean and sustainable energy.
