Data Logging System for Solar Power Plant

Data logging system for solar power plant plays a vital role to analyze the performance of plant and future research. The objective of the project is to analyze the data and to create a database in computer. The data logger is used to monitor and collect the data such as temperature, power generation, radiation, using arduino and creating database in computer. The data’s are collected from sensor like temperature sensor, LDR, VI sensor. Sensors plays a major role in data logger, which takes a reading and sent the data to arduino. An arduino processes the data and displays it in LCD, also the data's are stored in computer with the help of WIFI. The collected data’s can be used to analyze the performance of solar power plant. One of the primary benefits of using data logger is that it can able to automatically collect data on a 24hour basis. In this project, temperature sensor (LM35), LDR, voltage and current sensor are interfaced with arduino and created a database on system for temperature, radiation, voltage and current.
