Abstract

ndonesia's electricity consumption per capita in 2022 will reach 1,173 kWh/capita sourced from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. This consumption rate increased by around 4% compared to 2021, as well as a new record high in the last five decades. This must be accompanied by the availability of energy from power plants, especially renewable energy, namely solar energy because this solar power plant is considered safer for the environment and has a minimal maintenance schedule. In addition, it requires maximum utilization of solar panels and a monitoring system in real time so that the reliability of the power plant is maintained, the Smart Solar Tracker and Energy Control Based on Internet Of Things (IoT) are the answer to this problem. This research uses PV (Photovoltaic) as a power source in the system accompanied by a tracker drive in the form of actuators and servo motors that move in the direction of the sun. This IoT is integrated with a database server so officers can monitor and control if the device is damaged. The IoT module in this research uses the ESP8266 which functions for device control and relay. In addition to reading the voltage and current, both incoming and outgoing, use the ACS 712 voltage sensor and current sensor, not only that, there is also an LDR sensor to read the position of the sun.

Abstract

The efficiency of converting sunlight energy into electrical energy which was previously felt to be less effective to be more effective, it is one of the objectives of this study in addition to problems regarding the direction of solar panel trackers which sometimes do not effectively point to the sun so that the energy obtained is less than optimal, then a two-way communication system is made so that it can control and monitor trackers via the internet or what we often know as the Internet of Things (IoT) system. For the research method that researchers use is the research and development method, as a link between the tool and the monitoring system here firebase is used as a database, so that all parameter values in the tool are sent to the database which is then processed and will be displayed on the monitoring website, besides that for control works the other way around, from the website will send a signal to the firebase database which is then forwarded to the tool, we think this is very helpful and simplifies both monitoring and controlling tools in the form of solar panel trackers.
