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).
