How To Monitor and Steer Solar Plant Performance

Solar is lucrative business with high potential return on investment. However, there are some key differences between managing solar assets and managing financial assets. Solar assets entail a layer of complexity with physical and technical moving parts, which have a direct impact on yield and hence the ROI. So, how do you monitor and manage a solar asset to ensure maximum performance over the entirety of the system’s lifetime? In preparation for the inaugural edition of the Solar Asset Management Australia conference, we have joined forces with industry experts from Rystad Energy, Blueshore and Inaccess to bring you an insightful session on the asset management side of utility-scale solar projects in Australia.

Minimizing the dynamic effects of wind in solar plants through tracker wind design

PV-magazine

Join our pv magazine webinar, in partnership with Soltec, for solutions to prepare again extreme wind loads, through an exploration of the aeroelastic effects in tracker design analysis, including real case studies. As studies have shown, certain wind-design code standards applied to solar trackers are insufficient. With climate crisis induced extreme weather events, from hurricanes to tropical cyclones, trending to increase, new analysis methodologies are needed to improve the design of reliable tracker structures. This webinar will discuss the importance and impact of wind design tracker improvements, and how these can be realized. Join Matthew Brown, technical director of wind consultants RWDI, together with Pablo Pajarón and Sergio Prado from Soltec, as they present a new method for comprehensive dynamic analysis in tracker wind-design. Developed in collaboration between RWDI and Soltec, benefit from the expertise of RWDI as the world leader in wind engineering and principal consultant on seven of the world’s 10 tallest buildings, and Soltec proven technical reliability as tracking specialists, together.
