THE i-kWh SCADA PACKAGE

Our systems are able to incorporate baseline data of how a plant should perform, This information is used to calculate actual and projected performance, is part of a plant’s overall financial management reporting. Our systems should incorporate a plant’s performance expectations and then analyze and compare that data to actual performance.

 

Our SCADA systems are able to provide detailed information on:

 

• Weather forecasts: By integrating weather forecast service support, along with expected performance, the SCADA system can provide accurate energy forecasts, providing insight into data and sensor calibration.

 

• Device-level analysis: When performance is analyzed at the individual device level, such as individual inverter capacity, string counts and installed solar panel specifications, a SCADA system can alert operators and maintenance technicians of device performance issues and the level of impact for quick analysis.

 

• Tracker angles: Adding calculated tracker angles into the SCADA system identifies when trackers are not tracking to the optimal angles, resulting in decreased energy production.

 

• Lost energy analysis: Lost energy, a measure of the amount of energy that would have been produced if all devices were functioning optimally, provides historical details to analyze under-performing devices.

 

• Rate schedules: Including Rate Schedule Awareness enables the SCADA system to know the value of the energy produced by the plant or the value of the energy not produced. This information is used to evaluate a plant’s financial performance.

 

Real-time analysis allows operators the ability to not need to constantly monitor a plant. The SCADA system can provide performance-based alarms to alert operators when a site, or individual devices within that site, are not performing optimally.
