IoT Based Hybrid Power Generation & Monitoring System Using GPRS Network

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has opened up new possibilities for monitoring hybrid power generating systems. One such application is the hybrid power generation system, which combines renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power with conventional power sources such as diesel generators. In this project, an IoT based hybrid power generation and monitoring system is designed and implemented using GPRS network. The system consists of sensors to measure the performance of the various components of the hybrid power system, including solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and diesel generators& also connected to grid. The system can also automatically switch between power sources depending on the availability of sunlight or wind. It automatically switches to grid if sunlight or wind is unavailable. These sensors transmit data wirelessly to acentral monitoring station, where the data is processed and analyzed. The monitoring station is equipped with a microcontroller and a GPRS network, which enable it to communicate with the sensors and transmit data over the GPRS network. The system also includes a user interface, which allows the user to view real-time data on the performance of the hybrid power system, as well as historical data for analysis and optimization. The system is designed to be modular and scalable, allowing additional sensors and components to be added as needed. It is also designed to be energy-efficient, with sensors and components that consume minimal power, and with the ability to turn off components when they are not needed. Overall, this IoT-based hybrid power generation and monitoring system provides a cost effective and efficient solution for monitoring hybrid power systems, enabling users to optimize performance and reduce costs.
