Metamodel-based Photovoltaic Monitoring System for Renewable Energies at Hongik University
This project at Hongik University focuses on developing a metamodel-based photovoltaic monitoring system to address the challenges of managing diverse solar monitoring systems in Korea. By utilizing a unified data communication protocol, the system aims to streamline the monitoring process for solar power generation. The system involves components such as a Power Plant Monitoring Server, Inverters, Junction Boxes, Photovoltaic Cells, and Clients, all interconnected to efficiently monitor and analyze power data. The previous Photovoltaic Monitoring System developed by the university involved data collection from various power plants, storage in a database, and web monitoring services utilizing big data analytics.

Metamodel based Photovoltaic Monitoring System(M-PVMS) - Structure of communication protocol To integrate the heterogeneous system, We use standard model transformation. Local server and integrate server share communication protocol of metamodel, which send or receive this data. We can send or receive data through the TCP/IP protocol because the model data of metamodel use the XML Metadata Interchange (XMI). Communication protocol of Metamodel Consists of Consists of XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) Local Server Integrated Server Streaming Translation Hongik University Software Engineering LAB
