System of control and supervision of the solar distiller to install in Douar Al Hamri of the rural district of Boughriba (Province of Berkane)

Climate change and global warming are causing sea level rise and thus the degradation of groundwater quality by excess salt. In this context, the purpose of this work is the establishment of a system for the remote acquisition and supervision of a multi-stage solar distiller to supply drinking water to the Douar Al Hamri in the rural district of Boughriba in the province of Berkane (Oujda Region). The system implemented will allow instantaneous monitoring the operation of the station in real time to ensure the amount and quality of produced fresh water, and remote intervention in case of failure or malfunctioning of the systems. In this paper, after describing the operation of the solar distiller, the structure of its control and supervision system is presented, including: the start-up and shutdown of the distiller, tracking of its functionality, data acquisition, and control connection to the electricity grid or photovoltaic generators.
