PV power plant owners, operators and investors need to be able to correctly react to underperforming zones and be able to undertake performance modeling based on actual weather, sun or wind conditions. However there is a need for interpreting site operational and financial performance data that can be difficult to accurately and precisely analyze.

Solution

PowerTrack is designed for solving real-world business problems, such as the need for interpreting site operational and financial performance data. The new features and enhancements include ‘Individual Utility Billing Integration', which enables users to integrate individual real-time utility rate schedules with different time of day charges. This provides more accurate predictive analysis data platform on which developers and financiers can establish invoicing. PPA providers can now automatically invoice for production based on actual utility rates, including demand reduction benefits. PowerTrack can also now create interactive reports including production and consumption comparisons, demand reduction, actual revenue versus predicted revenue and live performance data. Users can also create custom dashboards – collections of reports from multiple sites on a single screen – displaying their reports exactly how they want. Additionally, AlsoEnergy's new dashboards allow users to graphically display real-time performance data down to the individual module level, allowing users to quickly identify performance issues.

Applications

PV power plant asset management and energy monitoring software solutions.

Platform

AlsoEnergy claims to monitor more than 900 solar power sites in 15 countries around the world. Beyond the reporting features, PowerTrack pairs with ‘PowerLobby,’ a customizable marketing display for end-users that can show data such as sun tracking, number of KWh saved, information about the end-user's sustainability goals or other customer-oriented messaging.

Availability

March 2012 onwards.
