Renewable asset monitoring: one view of solar, wind and storage
Solar parks, wind farms and battery systems each come with their own controllers and protocols. Seeing them as one portfolio is the first step to running them better.
ALLINLET team
The challenge
Renewable portfolios grow site by site, often with different manufacturers. Operators end up with separate portals for inverters, turbines, batteries and grid interfaces, and no consistent way to compare performance.
The data sources
- Inverters and trackers: production and status through Modbus and SunSpec.
- Wind turbine SCADA: power, wind and availability through OPC UA or IEC 61400-25.
- Battery storage: state of charge and power through IEC 61850 or Modbus.
- Substations and grid interfaces: IEC 61850 and IEC 60870-5-104.
- Weather and irradiance forecasts: from provider APIs.
- Fiscal meters: through DLMS/COSEM.
How it works with ALLINLET
- Connect every site, whatever the manufacturer, with ALLINLET Edge.
- Normalise production, availability and alarms into one model.
- Feed a portfolio digital twin that compares actual output with expected output.
- Use forecasts and simulation to plan maintenance and grid commitments.
What changes
- One view of solar, wind and storage across all sites.
- Faster detection of underperforming assets.
- Better forecasts for grid and market commitments.
- Easier onboarding of new sites.
Getting started
Start with two or three sites from different manufacturers to prove the common model, then roll out across the portfolio.
