Reconstrucción e instalación del sistema de monitoreo de radiación solar difusa de la estación FMAES-UD

Abstract

The document corresponds to the description of activities carried out during the internship, a degree work modality, in the research group of Physics of the Environment and Solar Energy (FMA & SA) belonging to the Bachelor of Physics of the Faculty of Sciences and Education of the University Francisco Jose de Caldas. The main objective corresponds to the "Reconstruction and installation of the monitoring system of diffuse solar radiation of the FMAS-UD station, in order to comply with this, activities were carried out that finally led to the collection of data using an acquisition system developed by the software of graphic programming (LabVIEW). Initially, a conceptual and bibliographic review was made according to the topics that refer to the title. Subsequently, an inventory of the devices and equipment of the ambient temperature monitoring system and their status was carried out, in this way the deteriorating elements were identified and the operational recovery was made. Finally, the software and hardware involved in the virtual instrument were configured, adapting it to the sensor for measuring the diffuse solar radiation, adapting a support with a direct obstruction band. The results allow to show variations of solar radiation, with increase and decrease, continuously, responding basically to the intermittency of the cloudiness, and the incidence of solar radiation, which allow to estimate days of low, medium and high radiation.
