Abstract
The authors developed a stand-alone ground disaster monitoring station equipped with photovoltaic cells and packet communication tools for observing ground disasters. The system is equipped with a monitoring function for power generation and charge, remote control function for power consumption and automatic shutdown and reboot function for protection of measuring devices in order to ensure stable observations under unstable photovoltaic conditions. Through various test runs this system's performance was verified according to design concepts. This system has been determined to be stable for a stand-alone disaster monitoring station for situations where it is difficult to maintain power grids or communication networks.
