HARDWARE EVALUATION OF CLUSTER-BASED AGRICULTURAL IOT NETWORK

In this paper, we present a real-world hardware evaluation of a robust, affordable, location-independent, simple, and infrastructure-less cluster-based agricultural Internet of Things (CA-IoT) network based on a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) communication technique and Raspberry Pi module 3 B + (RPI 3 B +)

Integration of high volume (high penetration) of photovoltaic (PV) generation with power grids consequently leads to some technical challenges that are mainly due to the intermittent nature of solar energy, the volume of data involved in the smart grid Presses architecture, and the impact power electronic-based smart inverters.These challenges incl
