Software and Hardware Complex for Evaluating the Potential of Wind and Solar Energy

This article discusses the process of creating a software and hardware complex for obtaining meteorological data, based on which it is possible to draw up recommendations for choosing the most optimal energy supply system using renewable energy sources. A method for obtaining data on wind speed and direction has been implemented, a methodology has been considered for processing these data to assess the potential of wind energy for a particular area. The Arduino microcontroller and corresponding measuring devices are used to obtain, collect and convert data. A software module that calculates the value of incoming solar radiation at a specific location of the consumer is considered. The use of this complex will allow evaluating the feasibility of involving renewable energy sources in the consumer’s energy system.
