Research on Distributed Photovoltaic Monitoring System Based on Internet of Things and Cloud Computing

Due to the depletion of fossil fuels globally and the rapid advancement of solar power generating technologies, solar power generation has increasingly emerged as a viable method for energy development. The concept of a Distributed Photovoltaic Power System (DPPS) promotes the generation, connection to the grid, conversion, and utilisation of power in close proximity. This approach has the potential to significantly decrease the consumption of fossil fuels. Managing photovoltaic power stations is becoming challenging due to the proliferation of distributed solar power stations. This study proposes a distributed PV monitoring system that utilises the internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing. The system aims to achieve centralised management of several solar power stations. It offers cloud-based storage, data processing, and retrieval, and delivers a wide range of information to the client. A comprehensive explanation of the operational principles and execution procedure of the suggested plan is provided. This paper discusses a case study focused on achieving remote monitoring and control. In addition, the text explores the interconnected cycle of data generation, transmission, processing, and presentation.
