Sistema de supervisão e posicionamento de painéis fotovoltaicos baseado em rede Modbus

Abstract

Automated residential systems are a growing reality where convenience and efficiency are goals to be achieved. In these systems, otimization of energy resources coupled with intelligent and convenient solutions brought about by automation are still complex. On the other hand, the growing desire for automation combined with technological innovations makes intelligent equipment, automation systems, sensors and actuators more accessible, integrating the entire residential environment and leaving the user closer to the automated environment. At the same way, renewable energies follow the same growing curve. Today the integration of a smart residential system with residential power generation is inevitable. Photovoltaic systems are a powerful example of this relationship between energy generation and residential use. This work proposes the development of an automation system embedded in an AM335x ARM R Cortex-A8 microcontroller arranged in a BeagleBone Black R type development board for the management and positioning of photovoltaic panels, communicating with a master system as a programmable logic controller through a Modbus TCP, an industrial protocol, bringing robustness to the system making it more secure and functional. In this system, the panels will be automatically oriented and angled so that they always receive the highest possible illumination rate, improving the efficiency, the management system would also control the panel temperature, giving the user a simple interface to monitor the data through a touch screen human machine interface .
