FYP 2 Week 12 : Results & analysis

This project required hardware and software combination. For the software, raspbian os is used. Next, the program was written using the terminal txt on the Raspberry. The testing process cover both software and hardware to make the troubleshooting process easier to be made.

   The final testing is carried out to determine whether the system is running accordingly to the requirement or not. Later, some tuning process is made to make sure the system give the best result. The testing process covered the process of the whole system.

Software Result


Collect the data from the software, the results are recorded as below. The values of current and voltage are different by varying the variable resistor 1KΩ. The data are logged every seconds

Theoretically, PV cells can be modeled as a current source in parallel with a diode. In the absent of light to generate any current, the PV cell will behaves like a diode. As the intensity of incident light increases, current is generated by the PV cell, as illustrated in figure below. The objective of this experiment is been achieved which is to estimate the IV curve characteristic of PV module.
