MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631009452 A) filed by Ms Chinmayee Padhy; Dr Himansu Mohan Padhy; and Dr. Pranati Mishra, Khurda, Odisha, on Jan. 29, for 'iot-enabled solar tracking system with real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance for efficient power generation.'
Inventor(s) include Ms Chinmayee Padhy; Dr Himansu Mohan Padhy; and Dr. Pranati Mishra.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention introduces an innovative IoT-enabled solar tracking system designed to enhance power generation efficiency through dual-axis tracking, real-time monitoring, and predictive maintenance. In the face of fluctuating solar conditions, traditional systems underperform; this solution addresses that by integrating advanced sensors for data on irradiance, temperature, and mechanical health, transmitted via IoT to a cloud platform. Machine learning models, particularly LSTM networks, analyze this data to predict failures like panel degradation or motor issues, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing downtime by up to 50%. The system features adaptive algorithms that incorporate weather forecasts for optimal panel positioning, boosting energy capture by 25-35%. A user-friendly mobile interface provides dashboards for remote monitoring, alerts, and control, while blockchain ensures data integrity. Scalable for various applications, it supports smart grid integration for better energy management. A case study on a 10 kW installation demonstrated a 29% efficiency increase and significant cost savings. Novel aspects include sensor fusion with AI for precise predictions and real-time optimizations, surpassing prior art's limitations in reactivity and specialization. This invention promotes sustainable energy by minimizing losses and extending system lifespan, contributing to global renewable goals in diverse environments."
