METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATION MONITORING AND OPTIMIZATION OF A SET OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS

The subject of invention is the method and system for operation monitoring and optimization of a set of photovoltaic panels that allows the damage detection and prediction, wherein communication of monitoring modules (2) is by radio, is linear and two-way, in precisely set time intervals, where individual logical addresses correspond to physical location of monitoring modules (2) relative to each other and the network coordinator (20) supervises the correct network communication by sending synchronization frames and data transmission requests which allow, among other things, a synchronous operation of monitoring modules (2) and a synchronization of measurements made by them, then the performed measurements are stored in the memory of monitoring modules (2) with option of reading them later, and the communication of each monitoring module (2) with the rest of the system is redundant, meaning that messages are received by more than one neighbouring module, in addition, the monitoring modules (2) are configured using a short-range wireless interface (34). The System includes monitoring modules (2) measure the parameters of photovoltaic panels (1) using the voltage measuring circuit (37) and the current measuring circuit (38) and store these parameters in the microcontroller (31) memory, to which the execution key circuit (36) and optical signalling element are connected, (35) until the parameters are correctly sent (1), and send the data by radio, using the wireless communication module (32) with communication antenna (33) in a synchronized manner based on the information from the network coordinator (20).
