The need for finding new, more efficient and sustainable methods of agricultural cultivation and food production has become more critical especially in the developing countries. In order to facilitate this, there are needs to design a precision agriculture system capable of providing farmers...

A stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system is the most promising solution to supply electric power to meet energy demand in isolated locations. This technology can offer an interesting alternative to other currently existing sources of energy. Due to space constraint in the remote offshore oil and...

This paper presents the design, modeling and testing of an active single axis solar tracker. The compactness of the proposed solar tracker enables it to be mounted onto the wall. The solar irradiance is detected by two light-dependent resistor (LDR) sensors that are located on the surface of the...

In this paper, the development of wireless data acquisition system (WDAS) for weather station monitoring is described. It is based on the Emitter/Receiver architecture and it does not require the physical connection of the monitored systems to the data collection server. The proposed system...
