FIELD OF INVENTION
The invention relates to a system for remote monitoring and control of renewable system such as solar. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system for remote monitoring and control of solar or any other renewable system that can monitor and control any number of any types of devices.
PRIOR ART
Owing to the booming of the Internet, the real-time transportation ways nowadays include several wire communication networks, such as the Ethernet and several wireless communication networks, such as the Global Standard for Mobile Communications (GSM) and the General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) to precede the distant data transmission.
It has now become a primary need to do the real time monitoring of the power generation systems for continuous performance. But most of the area usually has no stable electrical power supply and the Local Area Network (LAN) to transmit the real-time monitoring data. Thus the solar power generation systems which are installed in such areas need to be monitored continuously. Solar systems involve power conditioning units, solar charge controllers, inverters etc. and need to be monitored collectively. Also the solar systems can be integrated with normal/traditional power sources like Grid, Diesel Generator, Gasoline based generators, inverters, uninterrupted power supply etc. The wire communication network is very costly and difficult to build up. If the base stations widely spread are adopted, the wireless communication networks, such as the GPRS or the GSM/CDMA, WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiMax, TETRA, 3G and Next Generation Networks Satellite communication like VSAT etc. precede the distant data transmission.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE WITH REFERENCE TO THE DRAWING S
The present invention is directed a system for remote monitoring and control of renewable system such as solar.
Reference may be made to the figure 1, 2 and 3 which shows the block diagram of system and method for remote monitoring, configuration and control of renewable energy systems or solar systems. The system is used for renewable energy monitoring and/or traditional energy monitoring supported by multiple communication technology. The present invention provides a wired and wireless communication channel based communication system comprising a power module, control unit, communication modem unit, memory, remote communication identity module, PFC & I/Os interface, communication protocol interfaces, Serial, RJ45, RS485, USB, Infrared interface and indicating devices.

The remote monitoring unit is made self-reliant to generate the power for its operation. The system is equipped with SIM card of at least one network operator for communication. The system is a versatile system and is used for variety of system monitoring including such as but not limited to the solar, wind, battery, UPS, SCC, inverter, energy meters, third party sensors, DG set, etc. The system is used with a number of communications ranging from serial to tactical radios or satellite communication. The system interfaces with N number of devices of any type. Also the system communicates with multiple devices by using different communication method/ technology/ media.
The system is used as a remote control and monitoring of both traditional power backup and renewable power backup systems. It acts as an independent add-on module which felicitates integration with the said systems for monitoring. During the failure of this add-on module, the data is retrieved from the add-on module. Further, during the failure of the add-on module, the user retrieves the data from the secondary storage device in the same add-on module. The faulty module is connected to any handheld device using wired or wireless media such as infra-red, serial, USB communication. It powers the faulty system enabling it to transfer data from system to handheld device. The data can be opened and stored. In an aspect, when there is no network available, all the data can also be stored locally. The data can be retrieved from the power backup system and is synchronized to remote/ central server. Thus, user is able to pull out data/ status through any handheld device.
Thus it is an independent device which can not only be interfaced with inverter but also other devices like UPS, external AC/DC energy meters etc. This device collectively segregates and sends the data to the central server through wireless and wired means depending on the availability. It also stores the data locally at regular user settable intervals in the secondary memory card which is extendable. User is able to retrieve the data afterwards. A variety of system are configured on the above.
The device works on standard communication protocols such as but not limited to CAN/Modbus etc to capture the data from the remote devices. It communicates with peripherals devices & sensors supporting communication technology such as but not limited to I2C, SPI etc along with analog devices and sensors implemented. Thus third party devices and sensors are made to interface with the devices seamlessly. It stores the portable data in the monitoring hardware. A display is provided to display the parameters. This can be made to synchronize with PLCs for industrial purpose through 4-20 mA/0-20 mA input.
The device communicates with more than one central location by using multiple communication channels simultaneously. This makes the monitoring of installed devices by more than one master simultaneously. The controller is configured for all possible communication media and at the time of communicating it selects the channel based on its inbuilt intelligence.
The system according to the present invention communicates with renewable/ solar devices using communication protocols for continuous sensing of instantaneous data, collection of all alarms as and when there is alarm/ change in status, as and when demanded by the central system and on predefined intervals and data log dumping on

predefined intervals. Multiple similar devices are connected to the system using communication interface. The on board communication interface port takes inputs from a number of devices at a time and data of same is sent to remote server by using communication channel. The system communicates to central server by using communication channel. The system is used to transmit data and alarms from a remote location to a central site. The preferred way for data transmission is selectable by user wired or wireless as per convenience. In case of primary communication channel failure, the data is sent through secondary communication channel to the control room automatically. Every communication is done by following unique steps of verification. In case of primary communication it checks the packet transmission, echo and other supported way of communication check. If all checks pass then device transmits data using particular data channels. The timeouts also check in case communication channel is working but there exists much noise so that the data packets can not be transmitted securely. In these cases master device tries to opt for secondary communication channel. In case secondary communication channel fails, the data is automatically stored in system memory. When the communication channel establishes, the stored data is automatically transferred and synced to central location. The system stores data for any predefined time defined by the user. The system transmits events (normal as well as fault)/status to the central system in case of its change in status or any of the alarm condition. The alarm status is called by the central system from the system on demand and is transmitted to central system periodically. The parameters which are collected at communication port of the device are such as but not limited to grid voltage, battery voltage, PV voltage, load percentage, PV current, grid charging current, system battery voltage rating, system rating, RTC, date, power. These parameters are sent from remote to central system as and when there is events/alarm/change in status, as and when demanded by the system and on predefined periodic intervals. Additional programmable alarms are provided in the system which is user configurable.
The system receives the commands over communication channel and sends the reply to designated user for a number of functions such as but not limited to status poll, device reset/restart, RTC time set and remote firmware upgrade over communication channel. Every configure command have fixed format and follows a defined function rule /(x,y,z). Where x, y & z are the inputs for particular feature. Feature is defined as the service which can be turn on and off as per the user needs. The remote hardware takes these inputs and configures remote hardware as per the user requirement. At the controller there is a provision of reserved commands (both read/write) which is used later in field. The syntax of the commands also can be modified to generate a new set of commands. The final remote command which user creates, comprises all these inputs and can be changed in future if required.
The monitoring hardware provides connectivity of the solar/ renewable system to the internet without a computer. The user monitors, configures & controls the system from a remote location using his handheld device. It is advantageous to monitor the system in households where the computer is not available.
Third party sensors are integrated on the system to sense such as but not limited to temperature sensor, door sensor, fire sensor or any other such kind of sensors or devices. Potential free contacts (PFC) and ports are provided through which these sensors are interfaced for getting the values at system at remote location. The system

at remote location has internal storage for storing the system data in case of any break-down in remote communication. The controller allows the user to set the thresholds and calibration reset by using remote commands. This allows wide range of sensors to integrate with the monitoring hardware.
The remote devices are controlled from any point of presence. The user reset/ shutdown/ restart the device by using handheld devices. The communication device can be controlled through internet from local or remote location. The devices installed at remote site such as but not limited to DG set, air-conditioners, lights, fan, access door and/or any other device of daily utility are controlled, configured and monitored from remote location. By using multiple communication channels central software will be in sync with remote hardware. The third party device such as DG set, air-conditioners, lights, fan, access door and or any other device of daily utility are configured as slave to master device and under supervision of central server. The user sitting at central server can submit a task request to server and server communicates to master device with best possible communication channel and finally master generates a evoke/sleep signal to activate or deactivate the device. This all activity happens in very short fraction of time becoming the real-time control. The confirmation communication is also generated by the remote hardware and submitted as a log in central server.
