Prototype development of a Low Cost data logger for PV based LED Street Lighting System

Abstract

The data logger is an electronic device that records data over time or in relation to location with a built in sensor. The need of data logger is to accomplish monitoring task of street lighting system based on PV Solar Cell in Jakarta province, especially in Thousand Island Regency. Existing PV LED street lighting has not equipped by data logger, therefore monitoring task is done by manually. Prototype developed based on a microcontroller, battery powered, and equipped with internal memory for data storage, and sensors. The system developed should be “Low Power Consumption”, “Low Cost”, portable and easily embedded inside the PV LED Street Lighting controller.
