PV system lab electricity

• 9 *120 Wp = 1080 Wp• 30° • grid-connected• With data logger

PV system lab electricity

• Invertor Sunny boy (SMA)• Data logger: Heliograph

(imec)• serial communication with

PC

• Memory (20 a 30 days)

• Irradiance, DV voltage, DC current AC energy

• Manually download of the data

• Data = text file

New monitoring system

Requirements:

– Automatic, no user intervention needed– Data = visual information– Public– No PC necessary– Low energy consumption– Back-up data

New monitoring system

Communication with data-logger – internet:

Beck IPC

Self-made collector

• Italy 30000 m² since 1995 • co-operative (Verband Alternatieve Energie VAE)

• 2 collectors /Man/day

Belgium: start in 2006

500 m² in half year

Evaluation

Catholic Institute of Higher Education in South – West- FlandersBelgium

Self-made collector

• Goal: online evaluation• Measurements:

– Ambient temperature– T collector (in)– T collector (out)– T Boiler– Pump on/off

• Online (internet)• Visualisation• With little energy

Self-made collector

• System: – 16 solar panels (=22 m²) for a floor heating system and hot

water production

– Location: Torhout

– Boiler 1000 liter

Self-made collector

How ?– IPC: chip with Ethernet and serial communication (energy

consumption 3 Watt)– Connection with internet– Storage on server (no data logger)

• Extra:– Controlling pump– Adjusting delta T – Logging working hours – Synchronisation with time server
