PreditPV

 

The real-time monitoring system for solar photovoltaic farms, PreditPV has a disruptive technique to monitoring some critical assets, namely Solar Inverters and Distribution Transformers.

 

Facing the Solar growing market, PreditPV aims to offer PV plants’ owners an extremely accurate predictive maintenance solution using a completely non-invasive approach, thus preventing costly corrective maintenance actions and unexpected stoppages with huge non-production costs.

 

PreditPV is based on a real-time monitoring system that can be accessible from any location with internet access, allowing the users to view real-time data and act immediately under the presence of an early fault. Since it is just based on the measurement of electrical variables, this approach is much more advantageous when compared to the traditional techniques.

 

The diagnostic algorithm only requires the voltage of the solar inverter and the current signals from the both transformer’s sides (medium voltage and low voltage). These signals can be easily measured by non-invasive voltage and current transducers, installed in each phase conductor.

 

All the relevant data related to the solar inverters and transformer’s operating condition is presented to the user, showing the solar inverter and transformer’s fault degree and power quality parameters.

APPLICATIONS
