Abstract

This paper describes a system to remotely monitor and control complex stand-alone photovoltaic plants. In normal conditions the developed system registers and reports the overall performances; in case of incorrect behaviors it seasonably informs the operators. Moreover through appropriate instructions sent by users it allows to change the configurations of the plant and the settings of the measurement system as well. Several means of communications are available due to the need to adapt the system to the different operative conditions. However for a more general and flexible implementation, the remote control is carried out through the GSM network and in special way exploiting the SMS (Short Message Service) feature.
