Abstract

Renewable energy is the energy that has been widely used nowadays. A lots of technologies invented that used the renewable energy as their source of energy to supply power. Most of the country in Europe encourage their people to use renewable energy and not solely dependent on supply from the government. Recently, one of the famous renewable energy used is the solar system. This solar energy can produce electricity by converting sun energy to electrical energy through the solar photovoltaic system. The outcome of this project is to develop a system that independently operate or stand-alone system by applying the source of renewable energy which is the solar energy and combine with the automation tool for managing the operation of the batteries. This project utilized solar panel which can generate up to 12V to be use for supplying the lightning detection system. The aim of this project is to manage the distribution of power supply from the solar panel to the battery system for the use of lightning detection system. The first step to be taken is to identify the profile and the characteristic of irradiance during the daylight. Secondly, to investigate the important parameters to be considered in the stand alone solar system such as the irradiance, tilt angle, current, voltage and temperature and also the relativity between each parameters. From the result, the increase in the irradiance will increase the output power, the short circuit current and the open circuit voltages. The value of current is depends to the value of irradiance receive since both of them is directly proportional to each other. However, the value of voltages is inversely proportional to each other since the value of voltages will drop if the temperature is increased. The main strategy for this operation is to identify the optimum condition of environment to provide the optimum power for the lightning detection system.
