Asset Monitoring for a Solar Estate Installation Company
Overview
The customer operates a Solar farm which is of 10 MW generation capacity. The solar estate has large ground mounted arrays of PV (photo voltaic) panels. DC current generated from the PV is fed to micro inverter. Inverter converts DC current into AC. For harmonic tuning, a transformer is used. From the transformer, power is transported to Grid through the switch gear.

Challenges
Need for a Real time monitoring system to monitor the life cycle states of Photo Voltaic panels, Inverters and Switchgear
Need to monitor farm wide environmental characteristics
Outcomes
- Real time insights into problems with a specific panel rather than seeing a decrease in overall performance of the farm
- Predictive analytics to help the Solar Farm managers prepare the power grid for future power consumption
