Schneider Electric announced a technology advancement that extends digital twins from the design and engineering stage into the operations and maintenance stage of renewable energy installations.
The new solution, called EcoStruxure for Renewables, is designed for companies developing renewables projects, including hybrid projects that mix solar, wind, and storage. It is also suited for industrial businesses that are seeking to decarbonize their operations by integrating hybrid power sources, such as on-site solar plus traditional gensets.
Existing digital twins are used to manage design and simulation during the project engineering phase. EcoStruxure for Renewables now enable renewable energy asset managers to leverage the same data and digital twins to operate their renewable installations. It facilitates everything from the supervision of a single renewable farm hyper vision, decreasing mean time to repair (MTTR) and increasing mean time between failure (MTBF).
For total operational awareness of renewable generation fleets, the digital twins of EcoStruxure for Renewables can further feed actionable, real-time data to AVEVA Unified Operations Center for Renewables. This end-to-end approach enables more agile and responsive management of wind and solar operations by making the complete enterprise visible. It creates value by combining broad insights into geographically dispersed sites with the ability to drill-down on specific performance KPIs and see real-time operations.
