摘要

太陽能發電站為了得到合理的電壓與電流輸出，必須將數個太陽能板進行串並聯的組合，然而，這樣的作法必須保證每個太陽能板的效率都能夠維持在一定的水準之上，否則，即使單一個太陽能板的效率變差或是壽命將近，都會拖垮整個太陽能發電站的效能。所以，即時監測每個太陽能板的發電效能就顯得相當重要。
因此，本論文提出一種植入無線感測網路節點於太陽能板的技術，每個感測節點中都內含發電電壓、輸出電流、太陽能板溫度以及日照強度的感測電路，藉以監測每個太陽能板發電效能。在建構的無線感測網路中，透過協調器與各個感測節點聯結，將擷取到的相關資訊回傳到監控中心的監控主機。監控主機執行以圖控式軟體LabVIEW 所設計出的人機介面程式，將各個太陽能板發電效能之資料一直不斷的顯示與記錄，並且建構一資料庫可供隨時查詢資料，藉以提供完整資料供作太陽能板發電效能改善或更換之依據。

In this thesis, we proposed a technology of a smart solar panel (or photovoltaic, PV) monitoring system combined with a ZigBee wireless sensor network. In this proposed system, generated voltage and generated current and panel temperature and sunshine intensity sensing circuits were included in each sensor node, which is used to monitor the effect parameters of each solar panel.
In this ZigBee wireless sensor network, the solar panel effect parameters were measured and were collected by the coordinator, and each sensor nodes were communicated each other through coordinator. The LabVIEW man-machine interface was designed to store data that were related to the effect parameters of solar panel in the monitoring nodes. A database was also designed in this system to offer the basis information about the solar panel quality and to provide reference information of improvement or replacement for the solar panel at any time.
