Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to develop a Solar Hybrid Power System Model using Arduino with a Smart Control and Monitoring System for community and can be used as a model for secondary school students to understand the concept of renewable energy working principles.The learning process is easier with Arduino as the main system controller that control a solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy system.The SCADA system was developed to provide a real time control and data acquisition with a human-machine interface (HMI) to connect the user to the controller.This project used a solar photovoltaic (PV) and mini wind turbine to represent renewable energy that can generate electricity to replace non-renewable energy.Additionaly,this project provides the students with information about renewable energy such as solar and wind that can generate electricity,which integrated with Visual Basic software as a graphic user interface (GUI).Furthermore,an MIT app Inventor application was used in order to control the output of this model via a smartphone.At the end of this project,the mini hybrid solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy system that serve as an educational training tool are working properly with Arduino as a controller and an MIT app inventor as the human machine interface (HMI). Thus,the students will be able to understand the concept of solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy as a renewal energy source.
