Design And Development Of Hardware-Agnostic Solar PV Automated Monitoring System

Various industrial companies, both engaged in the retail sector as well as services in the business of generation, have utilized information technology to produce information that will be used as a basis in making important decisions. PT. Pembangkitan Jawa Bali (PJB) is one of Indonesia's power generation companies that owns the largest solar power plant in Java Island with a capacity of 1 MW as research and enrichment in the field of new and renewable energy and aims to manage large-scale Solar PV power plant in Indonesia which one of the research scope conducted in Cirata PV Plant is implementing IT technology on the system of monitoring the condition and real time energy production. The system works for combine data from various types and brands of loggers and inverters, process raw data from loggers systematically that can be processed using an application program, perform real time remote monitoring operational conditions, automate production reporting and alerts and report automation. This system can facilitate the process of data acquisition becomes faster and accurate so as to ensure reliable operating conditions, condition monitoring can improve the reliability and availability of the system and reduce downtime.
