Production of renewable solar energy can be divided into solar energy (also called photovoltaic) and solar thermal energy categories, the latter more complex the technology, only for relatively large capacity, limited the application, then the practical application of this less. Solar electricity is inexhaustible, nonpolluting and many other benefits, has become a hot pursuit of the man for a new energy. But it is also applied intermittently, electricity and climate-related defects. Therefore, to improve the efficiency of solar cells, monitoring of electricity generation in real time is necessary, you can work in the early detection of solar cells appear abnormal. Presents a real-time monitoring of the design of solar cells power production system. System using AT89S52 MCU, using current sensor on the output of solar cells being measured, the advantage is that it almost does not consume energy case, the current is converted to a voltage for measurement.

A hardware design system
Hardware circuit of Figure 1, primarily by the group of solar cells, consisting of Hall effect current sensors, I / U conversion circuit, liquid crystal display comprising 1602 AT89S52 system chip microprocessor control, and composition of rechargeable lead-acid battery energy system of 5 parts. Course work: when the solar cell receiving light to produce current, battery charging, MCU through the control device under the battery voltage, the electricity generated from solar cells on signal acquisition in real time. As the MCU can receive voltage signals before receiving the signal of I / U, U / conversion module signal U will be transferred to the proper voltage. The internal operation, resulting in the delivery device 1602 the capacity of the battery LCD display.
1.1 A D converter module
When the analog input signal is required after SCM converted into digital signals, the need to simultaneously measure voltage and current output of solar cells, it is ADC0832 8-bit dual-channel serial A / D converter, A / D conversion accuracy depends on the degree of high stability voltage reference base, the reference voltage is 5 V, generated by the TL431. RC filter after the analog signal input in the ad, then after the serial output ADC. Dell Latitude D830 battery Dell Studio 14 battery
1.2 I / U Converter Module
MCU interfaces for I / O can only receive 0 ~ 5 V voltage signals in real time capture of solar cell output current required to convert the signal current signal voltage, the system is the photovoltaic system, the ancillary equipment, energy consumption is as low as possible priority. Hall current sensor thus becomes the first choice, according to Hall-effect theory to work, almost no energy in the case of the current signal into voltage signal. The system uses TBCl0SY Hall type current sensor, the nominal output voltage (± 4% ± 0.5) V, ± 15 V dual supply, current measurement range of O ~ 15 A, may in principle respond to small PV off-grid application.
1.3 Food
MCU running on the need for on-chip FETs or supply of energy to work in the corresponding state. AT89S52 requires a 5 V power supply (the actual working voltage is 3.6 ~ 6.0 V). Rectifier available regulating power mode, the voltage was 4.5 V or so, because the system is independent power production, and use long term, taking account of the life of the power unit to provide municipal power or battery is not realistic, so that most good program should be in system batteries of solar cells, regulated by the regulator block 7805 and to 5 V, Vcc input pin MCU, MCU and LCD driver devices. TBCl0SY Hall sensors ongoing need to ± 15 V dual supply, as well, the supply battery power within the system. The collector controller 7805.7915 ± 15 V regulator, and thus drive their work.

1.4 Module Output Display
The fee is calculated as Q = ITU, which needs time T can make their own determination in the programming software, such as every 3 min sampling time, the internal operations in 1602, the discharge capacity LCD. To save energy, by setting the relays, so that the LCD automatically after 10 seconds off.

System Software primarily completed by the MCU, the main data acquisition and display control, the software design the entire system is modular thinking, measurement and display its program flow illustrated in Figure 2. Dell Vostro 1000 battery Dell Vostro 1014 battery
3 System Test and Analysis
200 W systems of small off-grid photovoltaics, for example, the nominal voltage of 24V, maximum current of 6.18 A, 200 Ah battery. Design of the normal discharge time for the 2 ~ 3 d, 0 ~ 6.18 A percentage of current is converted to 0 ~ 5 V voltage, resistance posed by the two attenuator, the ratio of output voltage amplification of resistors R1 and R2, the ratio of the decision set U / U conversion rate of 5 / 24, while R7 = 10 kW + R6 = 48 kΩ Rp2. According to the formula Q = charge time ITU test, is 12:00 to 2:00 p.m., the electricity of the show started, every 3 min showed real power and control system in the data, the second error of less than 3%, the table 10 are in the position of the initial measurement error, with the power increases, the margin for error is gradually reduced.
