Automatic Solar Electrical Monitor for a Battery Charging Process Using a Network Remote Control System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pollution and climate change due to the use of fossil fuel can no longer be denied, and this coupled with a waning supply of oil leads one to inevitably conclude that a clean, sustainable energy source is needed. That source is solar energy, the cleanest, safest, and most environmentally friendly energy source we have. In this paper, a photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system is used to generate electricity that will recharge a battery (DC 12V). The portable recharged battery will serve as the energy source for an electric vehicle. Moreover, in order to reduce manpower, a PC-based remote electrical monitoring technique used in the battery’s recharged system will be established via a TCP/IP network. Consequently, a PV solar panel with a 30 Watt capacity used to generate electricity using a PC-based monitoring system is exemplified.
