Remote Monitoring System for a Photovoltaic Power Substation

Remote Monitoring System for a Photovoltaic Power Substation

After briefly analyzing the structure of a photovoltaic power substation monitoring system, a positioning system roadway based on blue tooth was put forward to connect with already existing communication and monitoring networks. A separate monitoring system for the environment is integrated with the former comprehensive automation system to create a unique system. It is a new step of substation...

Power System and Substation Automation

Automation is “the application of machines to tasks once performed by human beings, or increasingly, to tasks that would otherwise be impossible”, Encyclopaedia Britannica [1]. The term automation itself was coined in the 1940s at the Ford Motor Company. The idea of automating processes and systems started many years earlier than this as part of the agricultural and industrial revolutions of th...

A Web-Based CSCW System for Remote Substation Fault Diagnosis

Relying on Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) technology, expert system (ES) can extend its capabilities from only one working to set up a cooperative labor environment for a group of expert systems working together. In order to more effectively support those remote substations fault diagnosis as well as related departments involvements, Web-based CSCW systems are intensively recommen...

An Open-Source Monitoring System for Remote Solar Power Applications

Renewable energy systems are an increasingly popular way to generate electricity. As with any new technological paradigm, new challenges have emerged which are unique to the utilization of renewable energy systems. One of these challenges in particular is the development of effective monitoring technologies to compensate for the decentralized nature of remote power generation. This project deta...
