Abstract
EN This paper addresses critical challenges in renewable energy research, particularly under the difficult operational conditions caused by the military conflict in Ukraine. Despite significant infrastructure loss due to the armed conflict (13% of solar and 70% of wind power), Ukraine maintains a commitment to reach 27% renewable energy in final consumption by 2030. However, the wartime conditions present unique challenges to scientific research, with laboratories vulnerable to missile strikes and frequently requiring evacuation. This paper introduces innovative portable laboratory stands designed for comprehensive analysis and monitoring of photovoltaic (PV) module parameters. These portable platforms, integrating advanced microcontrollers, sensors, and data-processing units, enable effective real-time monitoring and parameter estimation of PV modules, thereby enhancing their operational efficiency and reliability. Two distinct portable laboratory setups were developed and are detailed: the first focuses on real-time voltage and current measurements, while the second, termed the photovoltaic module parameter scanner (SPFEM), emphasizes data collection, remote data transmission, and database integration for subsequent analysis. This research provides essential tools for ensuring continuity in scientific activities and practical training for students and researchers amidst the ongoing security threats. The presented systems significantly contribute to optimizing the performance of PV systems in Ukraine and underscore the necessity for continuous adaptation and technological advancement in renewable energy infrastructure.
