STANDALONE DATA ACQUISITION AND REMOTE MONITORING FOR OFF-GRID POWER SUPPLY USING REAL TIME EMBEDDED SYSTEM

Abstract

Evaluation of renewable energy resources requires a system which is capable to assist the researchers in terms of potential analysis of particular sites, as well as listing of metadata which could significantly improve the efficiency of research work at remote area. The aim of this research is to develop a stand-alone data Acquisition and remote monitoring system for off-grid power supply based on data dashboard approach. This thesis will introduce the system architecture and methods used for the remote monitoring system which is a system that is capable of capturing physical data from sensors, provide monitoring system for LAN and WAN and provide historical data for analyzing from data logging at remote area. Particular focus will be given to the architecture of remote monitoring system development, flexible networking, as well as prototyping implementation using the cRIO-9063 real-time embedded system. The system is capable to improve operation productivity improvement, system competency,cost reduction, and increasing efficiency of the research work by applying wireless and remote monitoring systems, safe datalogger, and stand-alone embedded system application.
