This work presents the enhanced functionalities of a solar panel when embedded circuitry is included in its construction. A voltage sweep allows to track the global maximum power point even in presence of partial shading, which is transmitted to a DC/DC converter in order to maximize the transferred power. This voltage sweep also allows to determine the operating condition of the photovoltaic module,...
This paper presents the implementation of a configuration server for a SNTP synchronization platform which implements accurate synchronization solutions for Remote Terminal Units commonly used in industrial control processes. The configuration server provides settings to others platform devices using the BOOTP protocol and an interface that allow to administer the system. This environment requires...
Current approaches for software development fail in the integration of security aspects. Usually, this is because of the software complexity and the specific expertise needed for the integration of modern security solutions. In this paper we present the SERENITY Project which proposes a framework addressing this issue. SERENITY is based on the separation of the development of security solutions from...
The design and implementation of a robot team consisting of three homogeneous mobile robots and an external server is presented. The main goal of the robot team is the updating of a map or representation of an indoor environment. A scheme for collective exploration was defined. This scheme enables robots to navigate and self-locate within an indoor environment, communicate to each other, create local...
This contribution presents the design and implementation of a SNTP client module suitable for IEC 61850 environments fully done in hardware. The module is able to provide synchronization and accurate time reference within a microsecond with respect to a SNTP server, in a extremely compact, cost-effective and low power device completely implemented in a low grade FPGA chip. Therefore it can be an ideal...
