Enjoy harvesting the sun with the help of professional solar power automation software
In the course of increasing energy supply coverage with DERs (Distributed Energy Resources), photovoltaic plants represent a promising venture to various stakeholders involved in financial investment, construction, operation or maintenance. The successful outcome of this endeavor is fundamentally determined by the choice of the right technology for operational monitoring and control, as well as continuous performance optimization.
Use the zenon Software Platform for effective and secure operation of utility scale PV plants – locally or remotely. The system is able to integrate any type of asset in a seamless operations management solution.
Here is how you can utilize zenon to achieve solar power automation:
Standards and tools for fast project realization
Modern automation engineering is supported by standards and tools which allows for the simple combination of solution components. zenon offers powerful methods for the creation of templates with rich functional content and precisely adjustable interfaces. For an instance, the Solar PV SCADA Application Library in zenon supports the simple integration of devices like solar inverters, combiner boxes or metrology stations, based on the Modbus SunSpec standard. The SunSpec standard defines a stringent, yet simple to apply data model for solar PV related devices. Various device manufacturers support the standard. Integrating these devices in zenon therefore becomes very easy.
The high level of risk present in the pharmaceutical industry has made many manufacturers hesitant to move away from paper documentation and embrace the total digitalization of the manufacturing plant. As drug patents expire, however, production efficiency becomes increasingly important. At COPA-DATA, we have developed our pharmaceutical manufacturing software zenon to help companies overcome industry challenges and optimize their processes using innovative technology.
Security
Ensuring confidentiality and strict integrity of your solution becomes a key concern in modern energy applications. zenon ties perfectly into any environment, incorporating the specifics of modern OT as well as IT security. Various features, such as central user authentication and authorization, protocol encryption, central logging or file tampering recognition can be utilized in this context. Moreover, zenon is suited perfectly to work in combination with state-of-the art security tools. Talk to our experts to find out, how ergonomically a secure solution with zenon is achieved.
Ensuring peak performance
Economic operation is crucial in order to reach the desired return on investment. Operating your equipment effectively requires for constant monitoring of all involved assets, but also auxiliary data such as ambient and weather conditions. Generative capacity as well as generative targets need to be reliably balanced. The zenon Software Platform allows you to keep track of any performance aspect of your solar PV facility. Realtime data as well as long term historic archives and predicted values can be flexibly incorporated into an effective performance evaluation system. The storage of process data in open formats and the flexible exchange of archives via open interfaces or cloud-based storage media allows you to configure an adaptive solution. With that, performance management systems according to standards like IEC 61724 for Photovoltaic System Performance Monitoring can be easily built and constantly improved.
