Solar power station monitoring system with five remote functions and double intelligent control loop

Abstract

In this paper, by using ARM Cortex-M3 embedded high-performance processor, we implement a remote monitoring system for a solar power station with five essential functions which are telemetry, remote control, remote signal, remote dispatch and remote vision. In this system, Data Acquisition Unit, Data Transmit Unit and Monitoring Centre Unit are combined to form this remote monitoring system. This remote intelligent monitoring system enables power station's operators to check the station status anytime and anywhere through the internet or cell phone, and they can send pre-defined command in the special conditions or doing supervision tasks. This system improves the monitoring system's integrity, reliability, flexibility and intellectuality. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
