    Data acquisition system for solar car monitoring
    (2011)
    Mohd Hafiz Ab Rahaman
    Solar power research and development are driven by the desire to maximize energy consumption and efficiency. Solar car racing represents one aspect of university-level contributions to these efforts. The thesis entitled Data Acquisition System for Solar Car Monitoring aims to develop data acquisition system which will act as data traffic management or controller using motor controller on Uniten's solar car. The project consists of four parts, namely identify, design, construct and test a working data acquisition for solar car monitoring. In this project, the goal was to collect and transmit data from the sensors to the driver's display panel and to the computer located in the chase vehicle. This data will provide data about the solar car's status such as battery voltage, current, temperature and etc. The accurate data received will allow further modification or solve some problems of the solar car. This will then allow the driver to optimize his or her performance better in solar car race.

    Development of data acquisition system for off-grid solar charging station
    (2012)
    Muhammad Amirul Abu Othman
    Data acquisition is a system that gathering the required value which can be read by the computer. These values will be recorded after converted from real world parameters by a process call signal sampling. A complete data acquisition system must have sensors that can convert real world parameters to digital value and for that it must have signal conditioning circuitry and analog-to-digital(ADC) converters. Programming language are needed to control the data acquisition system. Signal conditioning are important to transform electric signal from sensors into voltage value for ADC converters able to read[1]. The methodology of data acquisition system need to understand clearly before setting up the hardware such as determining the range value of sensors, type of microcontroller and so on. Able to log the required data shows that the project's objective are achieved.

    Microcontroller based GPS remote data logging system
    (2013)
    Matthews Eddie Bulayani
    This thesis reports the development of a GPS remote data logging system. This system logs on the position of the data logger, date and time, altitude and information sent by the computer connected to it via a cable. This logged information is then sent to another computer through a wireless network. The objective of this project was to plan, design, develop and test software for microcontroller based GPS remote data logging system. To complete this project, the author did a comprehensive literature review on the necessary areas to be covered when developing a data logger. After conducting the literature review that is when all the planning and designing started after gaining some knowledge on the basic fundamentals. During the implementation of this project the author faced some few difficulties and issues and he managed to tackle most of them. With all the problems that the author faced during the project, he managed to achieve the objective of the project. The software program developed by the author was successfully able to run on the developed data logger device and was also able to send the logged data to another computer through Wi-Fi communication.

    Solar radiation data acquisition system for development of low cost weather station
    (2013)
    Ibrahim Mohamed AlHadi
    Nowadays the measuring of the solar radiation is getting more complicating and expensive. The national weather stations that selected in particular places does not provide an accurate measurement for the solar radiations in all locations. And the low cost weather stations invented to measure the solar radiations are not efficient because of the usage of the photoresistor (LDR), which is affected to the light not the solar radiant. Therefore this project is been designed to develop a Data Acquisition System for low cost weather station to monitor the solar radiation. The Data Acquisition System is developed using a low cost silicon type solar pyranometer sensor to capture the solar radiations, which is a directly proportional to the solar radiant, a microcontroller act as the system brain to perform the Analog-to-Digital Conversion and transmitting the collected data serially, Zigbee modules to transmit the collected data wirelessly in real time to the Personal Computer and display it neatly in Graphical User Interface developed in MATLAB. The data collected will be displayed in Watt/m2 in the GUI and in the LCD attached to the hardware circuit design. Thus by developing this generation of the low cost weather station, the solar radiation will be measured in more efficient and costless way.
