Case Study - Mainstream Renewable Power

Monitoring Solar Trackers for Optimal Performance

Bitbloom has been supplying its data analytics software to enhance the operational efficiency of Mainstream Renewable Power’s assets in Chile, which total over 1GW and include three solar sites.

At two of these solar sites, Bitbloom has implemented analytics to monitor the behaviour of over 6,000 single-axis trackers. The primary objective is to detect tracking failures, which can significantly impact the energy output of solar installations.

Find out more about how we efficiently monitor thousands of solar trackers.

Rapidly Detect Underperformance Issues

Rapidly detect and understand underperformance issues for common problems:

  • Data quality
  • Performance at string, inverter, transformer level:
    • Temperature-corrected performance ratio (PR) to quantify long term rate of degradation versus neighbouring groups & site leaders to identify sudden changes / line failures
    • Daily inverter power statistics
    • Seasonal production trends
  • Inverters:
    • DC to AC efficiency
    • IV curve behaviour
    • Cabinet temperature trending
  • Tracker availability and control consistency
  • Classification of grid curtailment, downratings and soiling
  • Reanalysis climate data can be automatically imported to support your data analysis processes, for example to provide external estimates of ambient temperature for panel performance monitoring
