Data Acquisition of a Photovoltaic Installation Using ESP8266 card and MQTT Protocol

EasyChair Preprint 9688

Abstract

Data acquisition systems are enormously used with photovoltaic installations to acquire all the data of the installation to improve and optimize photovoltaic production. The objective of this work is to show the interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) to facilitate real time data acquisition using Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol which has several advantages over other IoT protocols, by implementing MQTT on the ESP8266 development board which is Wi-Fi based. Sensors are connected to the ESP8266 to capture data. This data is then sent to the ThingSpeak platform as an IoT analytics platform, for storage and analysis. We can access it either through a browser or through various electronic devices, thus allowing us to monitor the evolution of ourphotovoltaic installation.

Keyphrases: ESP8266, IoT, MQTT, ThingSpeak, data acquisition
