Gathering data of your solar assets is an integral part of Operation and Maintenance of the solar PV plant. Then comes the part of analyzing and gaining meaningful insights which help in obtaining the optimum output from the plant.
There are different environmental and geographical factors that affect resources, so measurement of solar resources under these factors make the system cost-effective and enhance usage rate of renewable solar energy. Data acquisition helps to measure the status of solar systems under these factors. Accuracy of the data acquisition system is also important because various instruments are used to obtain data from the system and may produce different results that cause a serious impact on a large scale solar system. After acquiring that data, analyzing it is the most logical step 2 because deriving conclusions and acting on them is what gets the optimum output out of the solar PV plant.
Data can be best interpreted when visualized through graphs and charts and Trackso allows its users to build custom visualizations and get insights out of their data through its Mashups feature.
Here are some benefits of the mashups feature-
Customized Dashboards: View multiple site/equipment data as you like using multiple chart types on a single screen.
Trend Analysis: Select different timelines for the chart like live, last 7 days, last 6 months etc for parameters like Daily energy, Total energy, Output power etc.
Comparative Analysis: Select the parameters for different types of equipment (inverters, WMS etc.) for comparison between them. eg. compare Active Power of 2 inverters vs Solar radiation
Plotting data of an inverter power generation or a pyranometer on separate line charts does provide an understanding of the system but when you can plot the two graphs together you get an insight about plant generation in correlation to solar radiation. Now, this is an insight we get possible through a comparative analysis.
Comparative analysis of data gathered is also useful in the following situation, 2 same size inverters’ performance of different brands, which will help companies to know which brand works better in a particular situation.
TrackSo with its default site overview charts and custom charts in mashups allow its users to do easy comparative analysis in a different situation.
