This work describes a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based control system for a concentrating solar thermal energy system. Concentrating solar thermal systems require precise tracking of the sun in order to operate most efficiently. Parabolic trough systems require at least one axis of tracking, while the heliostats used in "power tower" systems require two-axis tracking. The system described...
This work describes the design and implementation of a novel monitoring system for small wind turbines. It is especially suited to small turbines that employ slip-rings between the turbine and tower for power transfer, since it is not practical to retrofit turbines and add more slip rings for transferring monitoring signals. We employ an Arduino based wireless system that measures and transmits the...
This paper proposes a wireless sensor network based heliostats control method for an industrial scale solar cooking system. Even though different designs are available they have suffered from different problems especially regarding effective tracking, high cost and convenience and other constraints such as scalability and simplicity. This paper, therefore, describes an efficient design that overcomes...
Remote environmental monitoring is one of the important applications of wireless sensor networking technology where spatially distributed sensor nodes are used to monitor environmental parameters and collaboratively transmit their data through the network. This paper discusses the design of a multi robotic platform within a hybrid wireless sensor network to monitor the environmental changes. The system...
