Siddhi House, C.G. Road Navrangpura, Ahmedabad, Gujarat – 38009, India 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this document is to outline concept and key deliverables for Smart Solar Plant Monitoring System. This document shall outline use-case, deliverables & technical architecture for the proposed solution. IIoT Edge based technology have been developed and perfected in-house by intelliSolar. 2. SCOPE This document is not a complete technical specification document. It is an overview document describing the top level functionality of the overall deployed system for Smart Solar Plant Monitoring solution. This does not reflect any commercial arrangements with the Customer. 3. CONFIDENTIALITY The contents of this document are confidential and shall not be duplicated, used or disclosed in whole or in part for any purpose other than to evaluate its contents, provided that any work contract is awarded to intelliSolar as a result of, or in connection with the submission of this document, customer shall have the right to duplicate, use or disclose the data to the extent provided by the Agreement. This restriction does not limit the right of utility to use information contained in the data if it is obtained from another source without obligation of confidentiality. 4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IntelliSolar retains ownership of all intellectual property subsisting in the contents of this response. IntelliSolar reserves the right to correct any errors or omissions regarding this document. 5. BACKGROUND Solar plants needs to be monitored to ensure stable power output. The proposed IIoT based solution collect and analyse data for the parameters critical to operation and maintenance of the solar plant, it also ensures compliance with government defined norms for the state Discom agency. The solution is delivered in line with MNRE defined guidelines and protocol implementation. Key deliverables includes following modules. Plant & Portfolio Management : Performance analysis of entire portfolio Captures and analyses data to generate reports and analytics for individual plant and over-all portfolio (Multiple SPV Plant) performance. Optimized performance dashboard aids fault analysis and identify site performance patterns. Built to Scale: Hardware & SCADA is customized based on size of plant and monitoring parameters required. Proactive Service and Maintenance Regime: SCADA solution captures data and generates detailed reports, analytics, Charts/Graphs & dashboard(s) to allow proactive system maintenance that helps fulfil maintenance contracts and save time on site visit by visiting properties with known issues. Cloud Monitoring Solution: Access anywhere anytime with real-time insights 24x7. Structural Interoperability: Common solution for multiple make of inverter, meters, weather station solution and other communicable hardware/devices. Single point contact for all hardware. Asset Management for Owners, Operators, RE Firms and ESCO: Poorly performing Assets that needs attention are identified Automates and triggers field service activity alerts for businesses in real-time. Improves service delivery, reduces costs and delivers improved customer experiences. Product Benchmarking helps improve long term efficiencies. 6. SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE AND DEPLOYMENT SCENARIO. The solution is deployed via unified SCADA Architecture using IIoT & Cloud Technologies.
Fig1: Schematic deployment diagram (Typical)
The deployment architecture can be detailed as below. 1. EDGE RTU: Collects data from Objects viz. inverters, meters, relays, weather station & other interfacing devices. SCADA collates/manages all this data. 2. All data from single/multiple Objects/devices is transmitted to the EDGE RTU over RS485 bus. The data is received, processed and authenticated by this RTU. 3. EDGE RTU is equipped with Dual SIM Facility. The data received is encrypted to ensure data security and transmitted to the cloud based data centre. 4. CLOUD SCADA: Software hosted at the data centre shall analyse and process data to generate reports, historical graph patterns, alarms and triggers as per individual configuration/logic embedded in the software. 5. Mobile App: Online data monitoring is provided for viewing of instantaneous data. 6. These reports can further be used for automated clerical data logging, historical data management/comparison, fault data intimation, efficiency & portfolio health monitoring. 7. If required, this data is integrated with state Discom/regulator software and NCC software as may be the case in tender specific requirements (if applicable). 7. INTELLISOLAR SCADA – FEATURESET IS SCALBLE AS PER REQUIREMENT.
