Abstract:
Solar Power Plant utilizes solar energy into electricity. Important data generated from electrical energy can be in the form of voltage and current where measurements are made by a multimeter in which its measurement results cannot be done remotely and stored automatically. Therefore, it is necessary to design a tool that can measure voltage and current from electrical energy over long distances in which its value can be automatically stored in a database and displayed on the website. This system is built from GSM SIM800L as a data sender, Arduino Uno as a data processor, Voltage Sensor as a voltage sensor, and ACS712-30A as a current sensor. If the manual measurement is used as a reference, the level of accuracy of measurements on currents is 30%; while, if the automatic measurement as a reference is used, it is 45%. In addition, if the manual measurement is used as a reference in voltage measurements, the level of accuracy is 2%; while, if the automatic measurement is used as a ref
erence, it is 2%. Which is the lower the level of accuracy, the better the value; on the contrary, the greater the level of accuracy, the worse the value?
