Solar and Wind Plant Monitoring
Where monitoring runs for a renewable energy portfolio: inverters and turbines at each plant, a plant controller, and the central monitoring cloud.
Deployment diagrams are part of Pro. Anyone can view this one; generating and editing it needs Pro.
Drawing diagram…
What this diagram shows
- Each plant has a local SCADA that keeps running offline
- Data is sent to the cloud for fleet-wide performance analysis
- Forecasts are shared with the grid operator
Prompt used
Deployment for renewable plant monitoring: at a solar plant, inverters, string monitors and a weather station connect by Modbus to a plant SCADA and power plant controller; at a wind farm, turbine controllers connect to a wind farm SCADA. Each plant has an edge data logger sending data over 4G/fibre to the central cloud, which runs a data platform, performance analytics (PR, availability), a generation forecasting service and a portfolio dashboard, and shares schedules with the grid operator.
