LabVIEW virtual instrumentation application

The photovoltaic training devices with virtual instrumentation include a data acquisition system and an application developed in LabView enabling monitoring of the photovoltaic system’s main variables via PC and different types of testing to be performed, and control of the installation from the PC.

The application includes the following functions:

• “Activities” windows: The activities windows help the students to carry out the exercises in the training device practical manual. When the student accesses a specific activity, the diagram of this activity is shown with its associated virtual instrumentation. Also, the training device is configured automatically via the internal relays, as shown in the diagram.

• “Measurements” windows: For measuring variables in the different components or points on the circuit. The variables are presented in numerical and graphic form. Measurements on solar panel, battery, 12V charge and inverter.

• “Control” window: For controlling the training device’s internal relays via virtual buttons for opening and closing the  different points of the circuit. For configuring the training panel from the PC, according to the particular test to be performed.

• “Tests” windows: For performing testing and obtaining characteristic curves (e.g. I-V curve for the solar panel). They include configuration functions for the signals to be received and testing times, results analysis functions, exporting data, printing and saving images, creating X-Y graphs, etc.

• “Monitors” window: This window shows the electrical variables at the different points of the circuit (voltage, current and power) on a single screen, together with the irradiance and temperature on the photovoltaic panel.
