Control y monitoreo de un sistema de generación de energía eléctrica con paneles solares para el alumbrado público en la Facultad de Informática y Electrónica.

Abstract

A System of generation of efficient electric energy was designed with solar panels for street lighting in the modular one of the Faculty of Informatics and Electronics, the system consists of three major parts as: module responsible power generation to produce and store energy in a battery bank and simultaneously used by the lighting module which is controlled by an electronic circuit that is responsible for turning on and off lamp led by a certain time, this control was performed with an Arduino that handles communication serial with circuits such as: voltage divider batteries, solar panels, actuators and others. It joined with VISA Toolkit to a graphical interface developed in Labview software, which is responsible for monitoring, capturing information of solar radiation, voltage, load percentage of solar panels and batteries, storing the data in a file xlx, then, to be transformed to an Excel file and processed, too; the simulation was developed in Labview using Toolkit 3D to obtain data from software such as: solar radiation, decline, height, tilt, power, energy, azimuth movement of the sun, these data are shown in Table Control tool, where the simulation showed that the mobile system is more efficient with 27.22%; concluding that tests determined that the power generation system is more efficient when colleting energy and stored in the battery bank beacuse it caters to the operation of the load in the days of autonomy stipulated without any deep discharge of the accumulator, recommending install photovoltaic panels away from objects than may block sunlight and do not allow them not to work at their highest capacity.
