Business Challenges

• More number of plants and labor• Dispersed plants at remote locationsHigh Operational Cost

• Huge number of plant with diverse set of data• Plants are monitored and controlled locallyRestrained Growth

• Multiple plants using multiple technologies • Huge cost of hardware agnostic technologies

System Hardware Dependency

• Intermittent nature of renewable resources• Real time updates in production planning

Monitoring: The Context

How•Technical Considerations•Architecture for Monitoring•Good Practices

Monitoring Architecture - Field

Considerations• How to collate data at a central place?

• How to handle link failure and data loss?

• What is the right device for data management – logger, RTU, SCADA?

• What is the right frequency of data collection?

Good Practices• Use Modbus for rooftop and small plants. Use

wireless for plants spread across

• Attach a local PC for data buffering.

• Rooftop – data logger, small plants – RTU, larger plants – SCADA for local control

• Rooftop – 5 mins, small plants – 1 min, substations – 10 sec.

Monitoring Architecture - Center

Considerations• How to integrate plants with different

technologies and vendors?

• How to ensure real time data acquisition at very high rates?

• How to combine real time and enterprise data for reports and dashboard?

Good Practices• Protocol independent device layer to integrate

with any field situation

• Use SCADA for data acquisition and real time screen definition, including control actions

• Use collaboration tools for information exchange with field crew

• Integrate the solution with enterprise applications to gain efficiency

• Use portal mashup to bring together real time and analytic information.
