Plant performance monitoring
Expected versus actual generation modelling with loss attributed to cause.
By comparing actual output against what the conditions that actually occurred should have produced, then attributing the gap to a cause. This finds gradual losses such as soiling, failed strings and tracker drift, none of which trigger an alarm and all of which cost generation daily.
What this includes
- Sensor and inverter data ingestion
- Weather adjusted expected generation model
- Performance ratio computation and trending
- Loss attribution by category
- Divergence alerting rather than failure alerting
- Reporting suitable for lenders and offtakers
- What you receiveOutput
- Performance ratio reporting with loss attribution and alerting on divergence
- When you need itTiming
- From commissioning, for the plant life.
Monitoring output alone. A plant can lose a tenth of its generation for a year while its output chart looks entirely normal.
