Abstract
A monitoring system configured to monitor a solar plant is described. The monitoring system including a sensor configured to generate data based on an operating characteristic of a component. The monitoring system also includes a datalogger configured to receive data from the sensor. And, the monitoring system includes a server configured to receive the data from the datalogger and to generate a simulated output power for the component based on the data.
Claims20
A monitoring system configured to monitor a solar plant comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate data based on an operating characteristic of a component;
- a datalogger configured to receive data from said sensor;
- and
- a server configured to receive said data from said datalogger and to generate a simulated output power for said component based on said data.
A monitoring system configured to monitor a solar plant comprising:
- memory;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more modules stored in memory and configured for execution by the one or more processors, the modules comprising:
- a communications adapter module (“CAM”) configured to receive a first set of data from a solar plant;
- An application logic module (“ALM”) configured to generate a plurality of coefficients based on said first set of data and configured to generate a simulated output power based on said first set of data;
- and
- a notification server module (“NSM”) configured to generate an alert based on said simulated output power.
A method for monitoring a solar plant comprising:
- receiving one or more inputs from one or more sensors based on data for a component;
- generating a simulated output power based on one or more inputs;
- receiving an actual output power for said component;
- comparing said simulated output power with said actual output power;
- determining if a result of said compare is within a threshold;
- and
- generating an alert if said result is greater than said threshold.
