Abstract

Solar power is becoming increasingly popular, as environment friendly renewable energy source that produces no pollution, requires minimal maintenance and one of the famous energy source because of it free. The output solar power is non-linear and changes with solar irradiation depend on other factors as well such as the location, time and weather condition. A problem that appears is their output which is intermittent and parameter monitoring system is required. So, the solar farm power distribution monitoring system is developed to make easier to user to display the performance of power distribution parameters on computer. An effective and efficient monitoring solar system is the most important aspect in order to ensure their implementation will going smoothly and not be affected because of the failure system. This project presents a system that can monitor power distribution voltage and current waveforms using data acquisition (DAQ). Therefore, DAQ is used to sample voltage and current signals. To make it user-friendly, a user interface has been developed using the Visual Basic 2010 and display parameters of measurement from power distribution such as voltage (rms), current (rms), frequency, real power, apparent power and power factor.
