A server database system for remote monitoring and operational evaluation of renewable energy sources plantsA server database system for remote monitoring and operational evaluation of renewable energy sources plants Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-11-082005enThe development of a server database system for monitoring and operational evaluation of remote Renewable Energy Sources (RES) plants is presented. Meteorological and operational parameters of multiple RES systems are measured and transmitted in real-time to a database (DB) server. An integrated data management system, comprised of programs running on the DB server, displays the received data on screen, stores them on local disk and inserts them in the DB in real-time. Remote clients access the DB using the TCP/IP protocol in order to create charts, calculate statistical and operational parameters regarding each RES plant and perform DB administration actions. The proposed system can be used for the exploration of the available RES potential during the design of RES systems, the development of statistical models describing the spatial variability of RES resources and the remote monitoring and control of RES plants. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Renewable Energy11301649-1669 Kalaitzakis Kostas Καλαϊτζακης Κωστας Papadakis Konstantinos Παπαδακης Κωνσταντινος Koutroulis Eftychios Κουτρουλης Ευτυχιος Elsevier Alternate energy sources Alternative energy sources Energy sources, Renewable Renewable energy resources Sustainable energy sources renewable energy sources alternate energy sources alternative energy sources energy sources renewable renewable energy resources sustainable energy sources
