SOLUTIONS.____Identify the Issues. Interpret the Data. Provide Possibilities & Options.

• Industrial Modem Installation
• Datalogger installation
• Annual Comms Diagnostics &
  Maintenance

Problem: One of the most common issues within a park is communication failure. This can happen due to many reasons, like under specified hardware, temperature, lack of software and firmware updates and others.

Gain: With EnergyBit Data Reliability we provide an initial assessment on the equipment that should be installed during the design phase of the plant or we propose the necessary upgrades on operational plant. Following that we provide a clear annual comms diagnostics and maintenance plan to keep the equipment working and safeguard the data.

• Client Dashboard
• Owner’s Assets Benchmarking
• Anonymous Benchmarking compared
  with other sites on the same area.

Problem: In many cases asset owners are lacking the capability to have basic benchmarking on Key Performance Indicators. Even when they do it within their own portfolio, they have lack knowledge on how they perform against a benchmark or others.

Gain: Energybit Benchmarking is a tool which allows asset owners to benchmark their own portfolio, but also check their performance against other sites within the platform anonymously. This provides an insights on how their sites are operating and strong indications on possible interventions and improvements they should be planning on under-performing assets.

• Sensor installation
• Sensor Calibration
• Sensor Maintenance

Problem: Sensors are an integral part of any generating asset. They provide key information on asset performance and are key on data validation. Any asset with consistent historic validated data provides better capabilities for predictive decision making on its operation but also increases its value on any financial transactional event.

Gain: Energybit can advise on the number and correct installation of sensors on each asset during the design stage. We work with top sensor manufacturers to provide the best suited solutions for our clients. By assessing the specifics of each asset, we propose a different range of sensors from Pyranometer, to soiling sensors. Even after the initial installation or on existing assets we make sure that the sensors are always calibrated and provide the information necessary for all stakeholders to meet their contractual obligations and help the owners base their decisions on validated data.

• Cybersecurity Site Assessment
• Recommendations on equipment and
  systems upgrades
• Creation of Cybersecurity Policy & Protocols

Problem: Most sites and communication equipment were installed by the EPC and the monitoring system providers without a detailed assessment on the threats and the long term security issues that the assets may have. There is no policy or protocols for cybersecurity both on the asset side as well as on the user side (i.e. O&M, Asset Manager, Asset Owner). The risk for loss of generation and more significantly loss of data is critical and shouldn’t be under-estimated.

Gain: Energybit undertakes a detailed risk assessment providing  clients with a clear understanding of the potential cyber security risks. By understanding the risk you will be able to act based on information driven decision making. Risk is not just about technology. We look at Cybersecururity based on people, premises, processes, policies, systems and governance. Following the review, we provide a Risk Mitigation and Compliance report providing a clear way forward with actions across the key areas mentioned above.

• Drone inspections
• Creation of Virtual Walkthroughs.
• Physical and Electrical Inspection
  – Fault Recording

Problem: Inspections are critical for all operational assets. An inspection plan prevents the late identification of the faults and provide regular information about the performance and the health of each generating asset. A common issue is that once expensive inspections are carried out, this information is not consolidated in a single platform, the information down the line is lost without historic evidence of what happened or record of the corrective actions that follow to rectify a fault.

Gain: Energybit works with inhouse engineering resources and trusted partners to deliver inspections, create virtual walkthroughs for inspection purposes and also provide the inspections themselves. Every information is captured and stored to our digital Energybit ToolBox Platform which helps the owners have the historic evidence of what happened on their assets and the corrective actions that took place.
