By automating monitoring, predictive maintenance, and energy optimization, AI can help solar energy providers maximize efficiency, reduce operational costs, and improve overall energy output.
How does ovation automation help a solar power plant?
Ovation automation technology helps solar power plants support grid stability and fleet flexibility. Emerson's Ovation Green SCADA software for PV provides an integrated, scalable control solution to maximize kWh output and profitability while contributing to utility-grid and/or microgrid stability.
The plant will be one of the first utility-scale solar thermal power plants that is commissioned in India. This project is part of the Indian government initiative to incentivize the growth of solar power to 20,000 megawatts by 2020.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) plant operators face increased pressure to not only curtail plant output, but also provide controls that support the stability and security of the grids they serve. Emerson understands these challenges and has optimized its automation technology to meet the unique needs of the solar PV industry.
Why do power generation companies need a biomass control system?
As adoption of biomass gains pace, power generation companies must find ways to maintain output while managing multiple feedstocks. Biomass Control Systems provide greater visibility and flexibility to ensure production always meets demand. As the industry changes, coal remains a critical fuel source.
Photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) plants have unique operational and control challenges. Solar power producers are seeking to implement renewable assets in a manner that ensures regulatory compliance while mitigating cost, risk, and staff impacts.
How can power generation companies keep up with dynamic energy demands?
To maintain optimized operations while keeping up with dynamic energy demands, power generation companies must make smart, fast decisions. Unfortunately, many power producers are still reliant on older, disconnected technologies that make it difficult to gain real-time insights.
