Operations and Maintenance
The PV plant and its components are designed to last 25-30 years, following best practices in regulation, risk management, asset management, monitoring, inspection, data analytics, maintenance and optimization. WALDEVAR Energy will monitor the plant 12 hours daily and the 400/33kV substation 24/7, using a remote monitoring system. Monthly reports will detail performance-impacting incidents, with the beneficiary having full data access.
Monitoring will use the SCADA system for both the PVP and substation.
The Remote Monitoring services include:
- Web portal to control installation
- Production faults identification
- Equipment related faults identification.
- Real time reporting (15-minute delay)
- Performance Ratio calculation (temperature adjusted)
- Keep operational data for five years
- Comparison of actual data vs projections
- Real time alarm management
- Default analysis
- Software updates
Predictive Maintenance
- Predictive maintenance will use forecasts derived from sensor data and SCADA algorithms
- WALDEVAR Energy will evaluate trends and events indicating device deterioration
- Manufacturers provide a complete list of device status and error codes with detailed descriptions and impacts
- Intelligent equipment with sufficient sensors are used
- The monitoring software must offer basic trending and component comparison between PV sites
