Verification of photovoltaic supervisory control and data acquisition (PVSCADA) kit / Ainun Mardiah Jafar

Data acquisition systems are widely used in Photovoltaic (PV) system applications in order to collect data regarding the PV system performance. In general, the development of a photovoltaic supervisory control and data acquisition (PVSCADA) kit can be described as a system to monitor PV system performance. It can monitor hardware and software performances. The proposed PVSCADA kit consists of a set of sensors for measuring both meteorological (such as temperature and irradiance) and electrical parameters (voltage and current at PV arrays, batteries and load). PVSCADA kit has an analytical monitoring system called datalogger and it needs to be verified. In this paper, using precision electronic devices is used and then compared with data from datalogger by the calculating accuracy of full scale or percentage of error for each parameter.
