چکیده

In this research study, a cost-effective and reliable weather station using a microcontroller system containing instruments and sensors for measuring and recording ambient variables was designed, fabricated, and tested. The dataset recorded and stored in the meteorological system can be applied to conduct various research in the field of energy and environment, especially in solar systems. Employing a microcontroller system reduces costs and provides special features such as accessing data on the web-based spreadsheets and adding control devices. In this system, meteorological information including solar radiation, air temperature, wind velocity, and air relative humidity is measured and saved in user-defined time intervals such as ۳۰ seconds. The total cost for measuring equipment, sensors, and microcontroller along with a data logger is about ۱۱۰ USD. To demonstrate the importance of using local meteorological data, in the vicinity of the case studies, the dataset provided by the local weather station was compared with the meteorological data of two nearby national stations for one month. The results revealed that the values reported by the national stations were different from the actual values measured by the local weather station. The deviations for solar radiation, wind velocity, air temperature and humidity values were at least ۵, ۹, ۷%, and more than ۱۰۰%, respectively.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
