LoRa based renewable energy monitoring system with open IoT platform

The use of various renewable energy sources is increasing with the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (Conference Of the Parties 21). In case of unstable wind power and photovoltaic power generation, analysis and optimal maintenance of operation status through remote monitoring system are required. In this paper, we describe the implementation of monitoring system for renewable energy generation facilities with the system architecture, implementation method, and analysis program. We use various open IoT platform such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and low-cost LoRa network. In the future, we will carry out research result on the performance analysis and improvement solutions after operating on the testbed site for a long time.
