Solar Panel Monitoring and Control System Using Human Machine Interface

Open Source Sun Tracking System with Solar Panel Monitoring and Heliostat Control System

Issues, challenges and opportunities in the energy sector clearly address the necessity for innovations not only in technology but importantly also in the education sector. But how to create environment for innovations in energy technologies, regulations and policies is another challenge. An apparent decline in interest and enrolment of young people, especially young women, in engineering, scie...

Design and Implementation of Man-Machine Touch Panel Interface for Embedded System devices using PIC32MX575F512L

Touch panels are becoming increasingly critical in more and more embedded applications, such as industrial control systems, transportation systems and others. In this paper design of a man-machine interface which works in cooperation with the touch panel is proposed. This interface has been made using a 3.2 inch 320*240 resolution LCD module with an integrated touch panel. The microcontroller t...

EMG-Based Human-Machine Interface System

Bandit-Based Solar Panel Control

Solar panels sustainably harvest energy from the sun. To improve performance, panels are often equipped with a tracking mechanism that computes the sun’s position in the sky throughout the day. Based on the tracker’s estimate of the sun’s location, a controller orients the panel to minimize the angle of incidence between solar radiant energy and the photovoltaic cells on the surface of the pane...

Physical Modeling of a Hybrid Wind Turbine-solar Panel System Using Simscape Language (RESEARCH NOTE)

Being sustainable and producing little waste products, the renewable energy knows a rapid deployment. Unfortunately, the intermittent characteristic of these energies makes them difficult to control. The influence of this aleatory character can be reduced with the coupling of two or more sources of renewable energy and secondly with a sound management of storage systems. This new configuration ...
