Data Acquisition for Monitoring Microhydro Power Plant Sengkaling I Based on PZEM004T and Ethernet

EasyChair Preprint no. 6026

Abstract

The Microhydro Power Plant located at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang already has a manual electrical data monitoring system, in other words the monitoring cannot be done remotely. Infact to find out changes in existing data, operators must be coming directly to the generator site to manually monitoring. To overcome the manual methods, a device is designed to be able to monitor and access the electrical data remotely through the network. The device designed consists of hardware, including: PZEM004T sensor as a power sensor, Arduino Mega as a microcontroller, ENC28J60 Ethernet module which will connect Arduino to the internet via LAN cable to provide data from power plant to the web. As for the software used such as : MySQL database, XAMPP program functions for web server services, and PHP. The method used is to connect the PZEM004T sensor to the R, S, T 3 phase generator which will read the current and voltage, which will then be converted to units of power, frequency, energy, and power factor. After the sensor can read the data properly, the data will be stored in a MySQL database and displayed in a web browser using url address http://pltmh.umm.ac.id/pltmh1/. From the latest results, the data can be sent properly and there is still some delayed time in sending data from the sensor to the web browser approximately 11 seconds.

Keyphrases: Ethernet ENC28J60, Microhydro Power Plant, PZEM004T, web browser
