    This project presents the design and development a portable measurement device for measure and monitor solar panel parameters by using Internet of Things (IoT) concept. Solar energy measurement plays a very important role in the measurement of parameter reading for the determination of output generated, but the challenge is only performed manually at the work site using a clamp meter or a multimeter. Furthermore, it was very difficult to get the value at that time, and the data recovery error occurred. There are three specific objectives have been used for the project. Firstly, the relevant circuits for this project are design and built the circuit by using software. The output of the measurement solar irradiance, ambient temperature, solar panel temperature, current and voltage value were displayed on LCD. Next, IoT concept is used for solar panel measurement and monitoring. The value of the measurement and monitoring is used ThingSpeak cloud and ThingView application on the smartphone. It can be collected the portable solar for the energy measurement system can monitor on site, anywhere and anytime using IoT platform.

    The wind turbines is a main device that convert the kinetic energy from blades to electrical energy. Before installing wind turbines, the Weibull probability distribution must be calculated to determine the certain wind speed probability. Many problems will come if there no analysis the characteristics of wind in selected location, such as wind speed that not suitable for building wind farm to supply the population in that area. Shape and scale factors, which be controlled in a variety of ways, influence the Weibull distribution. Many studies have looked into which of the various Weibull parameter estimation methods is the most dependable. However, because the results of these investigations were inconsistent, research into more trustworthy Weibull parameter estimation methods is still ongoing. An analysis of data collected Chuping, Perlis for two years was conducted in this study (from 2018 to 2019). By using statistical analysis to evaluate the Weibull distribution method, this study used three methods to compared the Weibull parameters and identified the most reliable and effective method to obtain the Weibull probability distribution by using a three approach that compares the variances of RMSE, MSE and R2, which provides comprehensive insight into level error and volatility. Modified maximum likelihood method, graphical method, and power density method are the three methods used in this study. Therefore, the graphical method has the best accuracy in the wind speed distribution prediction, several methods such as the modified maximum likelihood method, and the power density method have the worst prediction of the wind speed distribution based on all the statistical method variances for this region.

    Technologies of solar tracking systems: A review
    Solar energy is abundantly in nature and sustainable energy resources around the world. The main challenge with the solar field is less amount of sun energy captured by using photovoltaic (PV) systems. The great performance of the PV systems can be achieved if the panel is kept perpendicular to the direction of the radiations of sun. Hence, solar tracker system is the method to keep the optimum position of the PV panel for always perpendicular to the solar radiation. This paper aims to review on various technologies of solar tracking to determine the best PV panel orientation. The various types of technologies of solar tracking system have been discussed which includes passive solar tracker, active solar tracker and chronological tracker system. The movement degrees of solar tracking system also have been addressed which consisting single-axis solar tracking system and dual-axis solar tracking system. This paper is also overviews the tracking techniques performance, construction, performance, advantages, and disadvantages of existing solar tracking system. The limitations of solar tracking systems are also highlighted for future action improvement. Through this research studies, the most favorable solar tracking system was identified as active solar tracker with the dual axis rotation.

    Comparative Study of Three Methods for Determining Weibull Parameters in Pauh Putra, Perlis
    This paper studied about analysis characteristics of wind speed at Pauh Putra, Perlis, where nearest to Chuping station, Perlis, Malaysia. The wind speed characteristics consist of monthly and annual wind speed in Perlis, Malaysia. By using Weibull distribution, three different methods to calculate the potential of wind power generation and analysis the characteristics of wind speed at Pauh Putra, Perlis. The results present the means wind speed is 1.0790 m/s and 1.1321 m/s for 2018 and 2019, respectively. The highest monthly mean wind speed occurred in February for both years, 2018 and 2019. Besides, the lowest monthly wind speed for 2018 in May and for 2019 in October. The Weibull distribution summarized the highest probability density is 120% in the wind speed, 1.1 m/s using the Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM) method for these two years. Furthermore, this research found that the Energy Pattern Factor (EPF) Method is stretched to the right, and its height decreased from other methods for both years based on the graph of the wind speed of probability density function. The Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM) for these two years is higher because its shape parameters are relatively higher based on the graph of the wind speed of probability density function.

    Circular data is very relevant and important application technique in many fields such as physical science, medical science and others. During the last few years, writers have shown a deep interest of outlier detection in the circular regression model. In this case, authors have a tendency to study and explore in detail about the outlier detection in circular regression model. This paper aims to review the outlier detection methods in circular regression model. Here, we concentrate the attention on the methods of identifying outlier in this model. These survey of circular regression models in which many interesting properties and is good enough to detect the occurrence of outlier. Through the survey may highlight the significant of methods to detect outliers in circular regressions model and provide guideline for future work to look into the research gap.
