IoT-enabled device for monitoring and controlling solar PV systems can provide users with greater visibility, control, and optimization of their renewable energy assets.
Designing an IoT solution for the management of solar power plants, which on the one hand contributes to the energy efficiency of solar panels and on the other hand provides the energy of its components by solar energy harvesting from the facilities of the same panels, is a combined and optimal solution for this problem.
The IoT devices can be supplied with the harvested power. One of the most important forms of renewable energy is solar energy. Solar energy harvesting is the most common green energy supply, and its widespread use, low maintenance requirements, and simplicity of installation have made it an excellent choice for IoT (Kazmerski 2016).
To power IoT devices, Yue et al. (2017) suggested using indoor photovoltaic energy. Any IoT device in the ecosystem that requires energy to operate can benefit from solar energy. For this purpose, the device should be equipped with a solar panel and a battery to store the harvested energy.
The solar energy harvesting can be a source of power for IoT-enabled outdoor infrastructure, such as streetlights, environmental monitoring stations, and parking meters. The solar panels in these structures gather energy during the day and use it to power IoT devices even during low light or nighttime (Praghash et al. 2021).
For energy harvesting, it is necessary to have a clear design framework to manage energy flow for self-sustainable IoT devices. The framework involves the generation process (source, transducer, and converter), storage mechanism, and managing the supply of harvested energy. The proposed mapping of EH-IoT and design framework are shown in Fig. 5.
Extensive sensitive data is stored, processed, and transmitted by sustainable IoT nodes powered by the energy storage interface. If this harvested energy is continuously used to transmit information vulnerable to replay and denial of service attacks, the stored energy will drain more quickly.
