Design and Implementation of a Solar Controller and PC Data Acquisition System for PV Energy Applications

Abstract:

In this study, a mainboard was designed for solar energy control with PC data acquisition system. The released system included forty-eight pieces of PV panels, 1.92 kW BLDC and eight pieces of 65 Ah batteries. The buck type DC-DC converter was controlled to charge battery depending on its voltage and current scheme. The BLDC motor was coupled to a pump and a MOSFET was used as motor run/stop switch for automatic working. This system was applied to irrigation in Turkey that it is consist of 1000 pieces of dwarf cherry tree. The controller had communication with PC and DAQ card. All analog values of system (currents, voltages, temperatures, etc.) send to PC with RS-232 and DAQ with reading analog values.
