What the demo shows
A system solution for solar asset managers that finds energy lost to soiling and inverters.
Six agents work out what the plant should have made from the sun it actually received, attribute every lost megawatt-hour to a named cause, estimate soiling block by block, price each clean against the energy it returns, and turn faults into cases for the O&M contractor; the solar asset manager sets every plan and sends every case.
Transcript
- Solar PV Performance Monitoring shows solar asset managers where their plant's energy went and why.
- Alarms catch a tripped inverter.
- They miss the dust, which can take half a percent a day.
- Each morning, agents build yesterday's waterfall, from the energy expected down to the energy delivered.
- Every step down is a named loss.
- Soiling is the largest, 2.8%.
- Behind it are blocks 4-7, hit by Friday's dust storm.
- The cleaning calculator weighs that loss against a $14,000 wet clean.
- Its answer, clean blocks 4-7 now.
- It pays back in six days.
- Nadia sets the plan, and the crews are booked for tonight.
- Faults go to the O&M contractor as cases, each with the energy at stake.
- Built on Botminds: agents, data, screens, and governance on one platform.
