SMA and GreenPowerMonitor have already worked together successfully on several PV power plant projects worldwide. Their coordinated system technology helps ensure smooth solar power production. The PV-diesel hybrid power plant in the Bolivian province of Pando provides a good example of this collaboration. The power plant was recently connected to the grid and now supplements the town of Cobija's reliance on diesel with solar energy and two lithium-ion batteries. In conjunction with six SMA Sunny Central inverters, four SMA battery inverters and the SMA Fuel Save Solution, GreenPowerMonitor's SCADA system makes it possible to monitor and control all technical processes without interruption.
GreenPowerMonitor's well-established PV SCADA system offers various possibilities for flexible data collection with a high resolution of up to one second, customizable system expandability and secure data archiving-carried out redundantly, if desired. Automated processes and operating modes optimize the PV power plant's daily operation and increase efficiency. The operator receives support from versatile integrated software tools for detailed data analysis, as well as comprehensive maintenance schedule and tracking effectively supported by system management.
