Raspberry Pi-based smart platform for data acquisition, supervision and management of a hybrid PV/WT/Batteries system

Abstract

Renewable energy production is not continuous and reliant on climatic conditions as well as geographical location. Deal with the problem of intermittency of renewable energy sources have emerged as the biggest interests of the last decade. To overcome the issues inserting batteries to these renewable energy sources is seen as an attractive option. Such energy systems may simultaneously tackle the concerns regarding climate change, energy security, optimal design, and problems related to the battery bank. The present paper proposes the development of a Raspberry Pi-based hardware platform for data acquisition, supervision and energy management of a hybrid PV/WT/Batteries system. It may be speculated that integrating smart technologies in the renewable energy sector into a single hybrid energy system, coupled through informatics linkages, would enable to overcome the drawbacks inherent in the intermittent nature of these energy sources.
