Smart Metering for Solar Plants
About Client
Beginning in 2018, LHN Energy Resources embarked on an expansion into the energy business, which was a logical step for the company as a landlord with multiple properties.
Initially, LHN Energy Resources focused on the installation of 3 solar assets in 2019 to meet the electricity requirements of our buildings. Since then, LHN Energy Resources has made significant progress by developing its own photovoltaic (PV) systems.
About Project
Sindcon's successful implementation of the LoRaWAN smart metering solution at LHN Energy Resources has revolutionized the monitoring and management of energy production in their solar plant. The utilization of this advanced technology has brought significant benefits and improvements to the energy management process.
Implementation
Key benefits of implementing LoRaWAN smart metering in a solar plant:
• Real-time Energy Monitoring: LoRaWAN smart meters can measure and transmit real-time data on solar energy production, including metrics such as power output, voltage, and current. This data allows plant operators to monitor the performance of individual panels, identify any issues or malfunctions, and optimize energy generation.
• Energy Consumption Tracking: Smart meters can measure the energy consumption within the solar plant, including auxiliary equipment, monitoring devices, and other electrical loads. By tracking energy consumption, operators can identify energy usage patterns, optimize energy efficiency, and implement strategies for reducing energy waste and costs.
• Fault Detection and Maintenance: LoRaWAN smart meters can detect abnormal patterns or deviations in energy production, allowing for early detection of faults or performance issues in the solar plant. Operators can receive real-time alerts and take proactive measures to address the problems promptly, minimizing downtime and optimizing energy generation.
• Data Analytics and Reporting: The data collected by smart meters can be used for advanced analytics and reporting purposes. Operators can analyze historical data, identify performance trends, and generate reports on energy production, consumption, and efficiency. These insights can help in optimizing the plant's performance, identifying areas for improvement, and making informed decisions for future planning.
