db design for measurement data?

Hi,

I have to design a data base for storing time depending measurement data. The data should be accessable via web frontend. The data (e.g. quantities of a photovoltaic system) is logged at every second and may contain the quantities shown below:

• global radiation
• electrical power
• current
• voltage
• temperature of the PV - module
• e.t.c.

This means, there will be 86400 new rows (tuples) a day according to a usual relational data modelling scheme. With my little knowledge of data base design (ER-model, normalization) I've got no idea, how to create a data model for such a problem.
Does anyone have a good link or knows useful literature or has experience in designing data bases for such topics?

Thank sou very much for every hint.
