As the global demand for solar energy continues to escalate, RM’s Remote-Based Condition Monitoring System empowers solar companies to leverage AI-based data analytics to assess the performance and health of their solar power plant installations, optimise energy production, ensure reliability, and maximise ROI.
What Can be monitored?
Transformer Monitoring
Monitoring transformers in solar PV power plants is crucial for ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and safety of the electrical infrastructure. By implementing comprehensive monitoring systems for transformers in solar PV power plants, operators can proactively identify and address potential issues, minimize downtime, and optimize the performance and reliability of their electrical infrastructure.
The remote monitoring systems empowers operators to oversee transformer parameters and receive alerts from a centralized location. Utilizing remote diagnostics tools enables swift troubleshooting of transformer issues, leading to decreased response times and minimized downtime. Additionally, remote monitoring facilitates thorough data analysis and trend identification, facilitating the effective implementation of predictive maintenance strategies.
Solar Panel Monitoring
Remote monitoring of solar panel performance is essential for ensuring optimal operation and maximum energy production in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. These systems continuously track the performance of individual solar panels or strings in real time, monitoring parameters such as voltage, current, power output, and efficiency. Remote monitoring systems can detect and diagnose solar panel performance issues, such as shading, soiling, or cell degradation.
Remote monitoring systems also track environmental conditions impacting solar panel performance, such as sunlight intensity, temperature, and humidity. By analyzing performance trends and historical data, remote monitoring systems enable predictive maintenance strategies for solar panels.
Switchgear Monitoring
Remote monitoring systems continuously track the operating parameters of switchgear components in real-time. This includes monitoring parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and operating status. Remote monitoring systems can detect and diagnose faults in switchgear components, such as circuit breakers, relays, and contactors optimizing their performance and health.
By analyzing performance data, operators can identify potential issues, such as overheating, arcing, or insulation degradation, and take proactive measures to mitigate risks and prevent equipment failures. Monitoring the load on switchgear components helps ensure that they operate within their rated capacity.
Power Cable Monitoring
Implementing a continuous monitoring system allows operators to track the condition of power cables in real time. This includes monitoring parameters such as temperature, current carrying capacity, insulation resistance, and voltage levels. Continuous monitoring helps detect potential issues early and prevent cable failures.
Thermal IoT sensors installed along the length of power cables provide real-time temperature data, enabling operators to take corrective actions promptly to prevent damage or failures. By implementing advanced monitoring systems and proactive maintenance strategies, operators can minimise risks, prevent downtime, and maximise the lifespan of power cables, thus ensuring the long-term success of solar power plant operations.
Breakers Monitoring
Comprehensive condition monitoring of breakers in solar power plants is essential for ensuring the electrical distribution system’s safety, reliability, and efficiency. By implementing advanced monitoring systems and proactive maintenance strategies, operators can minimize risks, prevent downtime, and maximize the lifespan of breakers, thus ensuring the uninterrupted operation of solar power plant operations.
Monitoring the current carrying capacity of breakers helps ensure that they are manageable beyond their rated capacity. Additionally, monitoring for short circuits helps detect and localize faults in the electrical distribution system. Early detection of overload or short circuit conditions enables operators to take corrective actions promptly to prevent equipment damage and downtime.
