How scalable is a PV Monitoring solution?

Scalability: the size of the plants is very variable as it is possible to create a PV installation with a few solar panels for self-consumption or a large plant with hundreds of MW of installed power. A PV monitoring solution must adapt to these use cases without over-sizing.

Is there an IoT solution for photovoltaic plants monitoring?

Usage of tools Eclipse Kura and Eclipse Kapua. Validated possible devices and the independence from the hardware of the solution. Creation of unique system based on Open Source, IoT technology and industrial devices. In the present work, the authors propose an IoT solution for photovoltaic plants monitoring based entirely on Open Source software.

How can infrared data be used to monitor photovoltaic production?

Advanced image analysis on infrared data of electrical substations allows the monitoring of its condition and decreases maintenance costs. Remote monitoring of photovoltaic production can be used to provide a unified architecture to integrate multiple PV plants .

Why is PV technology important?

The technology used in PV plants is currently being upgraded as the solar panels produce energy more efficiently, the auxiliary systems are more reliable and the communications become more critical. It is particularly relevant in applications related with the smartgrid trend , , .

What is a PV power plant?

A PV plant is mostly composed of solar panels to produce the electricity, and a set of electric elements that adapt such electricity to the rating required on the grid. A general scheme of a PV power plant is depicted in Fig. 2.
