Enhancement of Battery Life by using Efficient Energy Monitoring System

Abstract

Now a days, every sector is facing challenges regarding deficiency of getting uninterrupted power supply. To satisfy the need of electrical energy of every individual is a challenge for the power engineers. They must think over the alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, hybrid system, tidal etc. Till now, we primarily relied upon Fossil fuels to meet the requirement of our energy needs. In coming years, due to increasing demand, there will be a significant need for implementation of renewable energy as a primary source of energy. Productive use of electrical energy is the basis for long-term sustainable economic development. As we know Solar energy is the ultimate renewable source of energy. Harnessing its energy holds great promise for the world energy crises, and it will be heavily called upon as fossil fuels are being depleted. Here the comparison of traditional and renewable energy sources on the basis of observed and calculated circuit parameters with the help of an energy monitoring system. The hardware system used in this study comprises of several technologies like PLC (Programmable logic controller), SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) along with the sources to be compared.
