{"has_accepted_license":"1","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"With its growing population and industrialization, DREs, and solar technologies in particular, provide a \r\nsustainable means of bridging the current energy deficit in Africa, increasing supply reliability and meeting future \r\ndemand. Data acquisition and data management systems allow real time monitoring and control of energy systems as \r\nwell as performance analysis. However commercial data acquisition systems often have cost implications that are \r\nprohibitive for small PV systems and installations in developing countries.\r\nIn this paper, a multi-user, multi-purpose microgrid database system is designed and implemented. MAVOWATT \r\n270 power quality analyzers by GOSSEN METRAWATT, raspberry pi modules and sensors are used for measuring, \r\nrecording and storing electrical and meteorological data in East Africa. Socio-economic data is also stored in the\r\ndatabase. The designed system employs open source software and hardware solutions which are best suited to \r\ndeveloping regions like East Africa due to the lower cost implications.\r\nThe expected results promise a comprehensive database covering different electro-technical and socio-economic \r\nparameters useful for optimal design of microgrid systems."}],"quality_controlled":"1","file_date_updated":"2022-01-06T13:11:59Z","keyword":["Art-D","Afrika","Demand side management","MySQL","Raspberry pi","Data acquisition"],"date_created":"2021-09-16T05:52:50Z","ddc":["620"],"publication_status":"published","doi":"10.4229/EUPVSEC20212021-6BV.5.38","file":[{"creator":"krauter","file_size":1343406,"date_created":"2022-01-06T13:11:59Z","date_updated":"2022-01-06T13:11:59Z","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"closed","file_name":"Kakande Philipo Krauter - Load Data Aquisition ART-D - EUPVSEC 2021.pdf","file_id":"29174","success":1}],"page":"1505-1510","year":"2021","status":"public","author":[{"last_name":"Kakande","id":"88649","full_name":"Kakande, Josephine Nakato","first_name":"Josephine Nakato"},{"last_name":"Philipo","full_name":"Philipo, Godiana Hagile","first_name":"Godiana Hagile"},{"full_name":"Krauter, Stefan","id":"28836","last_name":"Krauter","orcid":"0000-0002-3594-260X","first_name":"Stefan"}],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["3-936338-78-7"]},"department":[{"_id":"53"}],"title":"Load Data Acquisition in Rural East Africa for the Layout of Microgrids and Demand–Side–Management Measures","_id":"24540","citation":{"apa":"Kakande, J.
