RSK-met 50 Series: Solar Monitoring Station

Overview

The RSK-met 50 Series is an automated Solar Monitoring Station & data acquisition system specifically designed for solar monitoring applications. The standard package is designed to meet client standard requirement. Systems are easily customized with accessories for every aspect of the station, from communications to mounting options.

Typical applications include pre-construction phase solar resource assessment, baseline data collection, and performance monitoring. RSK-PVmet 50 Series simplifies the process of collecting system data by acting as the single point data gateway for environmental, Renewable Energy, inverter, and energy meter data.

Measurements

 

Most of the systems we sell are customized. These systems, however, typically measure the following parameters:

  • Air temperature
  • Relative Humidity
  • Solar radiation—global horizontal (GH)
  • Solar radiation—plane of array (POA)
  • Surface temperature—back of panel
  • Wind direction
  • Wind speed
  • Precipitation
  • Barometric pressure

Typical Configuration

  1. RS Consultancy Control Datalogger
  2. Enable a Modbus TCP/IP device to interface with IEC 61850 SCADA system simultaneously. SCADA Connectivity via Modbus (GSM/GPRS options available)
  3. Uninterruptible Power Supply (solar panels available)
  4. Robust Instrumentation Tower and Mounting Hardware
  5. Ultrasonic Heated Wind Speed / Direction Sensor
  6. Air Temperature Sensor
  7. Relative Humidity Sensor
  8. Barometric Pressure Sensor
  9. Total Global Plane of Array Irradiation Sensor

(one per collector plane)
