Abstract
Internet of things (IoT) refers to the sensors and electronic devices that are able to collect and share data over the internet. In remote areas where the electricity supply is limited, hybrid renewable energy systems are often developed to provide electricity. This paper aims to implement the IoT technology to monitor the energy efficiency of a Hybrid Energy System. The solar and mini-hydropower plants are the renewable energy sources of the Hybrid Energy System in this project. The Hybrid Energy System was developed to supply electricity to a guard house, while the IoT technology which consists of sensors and software was developed to record and analyze the electricity supply from the system in real time. By having the IoT-based system, the staff can properly monitor the pattern of electricity generation in real-time by using the software’s user interface. This study focuses on the design of a user interface for the effective monitoring of energy generation data. Besides, a user acceptance test was implemented to make sure the software can fulfil user needs. In conclusion, with the aid of IoT technology, the energy generation of the Hybrid Energy System can be monitored properly in real-time, and the user can easily communicate with the system using the user interface of the software.
