Skytron Energy (Berlin) says that its PVGuard monitoring software has evolved into an analytical tool for solar PV plants, driven by the changing market conditions for renewable and hybrid power plants.
PVGuard’s production forecasts supply hourly estimates of production for up to seven days in advance, which supports the strategic trading of electricity from PV. This includes an auto-adaptive algorithm which predicts power production based on current weather data, plant characteristics and the output over recent weeks. The software supports grid connection specifications which require data on power available for grid connection.
The application provides plant performance reports based on its database from the monitoring system with access to the measurement values.
