Energy Management System with IoT Connectivity for Portable Solar Power Plant

Indonesia has a potentiality in solar energy quite high since it is located on the equator area. The potency of solar energy in Indonesia, based on the national energy council, spans around 4.8 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day). This is very advantage for establishing small scale solar power plants as source of electricity in remote areas especially which has portability aspect. However, the energy management generated by a portable solar power plant has rarely received attention and often conducted manually. Therefore, in this paper, the development of energy management system is proposed for portable solar power plant, in which the system has the connection to Internet of Things (IoT) network. So the controlling of power usage as well as the monitoring process of battery capacity can be conducted easily through smartphones, tablets, or computers.
