Abstract

This paper describes the development of an online monitoring and control system for distributed Renewable Energy Sources (RES) based on Android platform. This method utilizes the Bluetooth interface of Android Tablet/ Mobile phone as a communication link for data exchange with digital hardware of Power Conditioning Unit (PCU). The Low Cost Android tablet can replace the graphical LCD displays and Internet modem of RES Power Conditioning Unit (PCU) with enhanced graphical visualization and touch screen interface.
