Smart Energy Management
Platform (SEMS)
1. Renewable Energy Data Acquisition
- Collects data from inverters, weather stations, smart meters, and sensors (e.g., irradiance, wind speed). Supports protocols like Modbus, MQTT, or REST APIs.
2. PV Generation Monitoring
- Tracks real-time power output (kW), energy yield (kWh), and system availability of PV arrays, wind turbines, or hydro plants.
3. Performance Ratio & Analytics
- Calculates system efficiency (e.g., PR%), detects degradation or underperformance by comparing actual vs. expected generation.
4. Weather Forecast & Solar Irradiance Modeling
- Integrates local weather APIs to forecast solar and wind availability, enhancing scheduling and dispatch predictions.
5. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Management
- Monitors state of charge (SoC), charge/discharge cycles, and battery health. Enables time-of-use optimization and peak shaving.
6. Grid Interaction & Export Management
- Manages net metering, feed-in tariffs (FiT), export limits, and curtailment controls. Optimizes self-consumption vs. export decisions.
7. Demand Forecasting & Load Management
- Predicts building or facility load to plan optimal renewable utilization and grid dependence.
8. Energy Trading Module (Optional for VPPs)
- • Connects to the electricity market, sells solar or battery energy at the best time or buys power when prices are low. Works with Virtual Power Plants (VPP)
9. Alarms & Fault Diagnostics
- Detects inverter faults, communication failures, or underperformance. Triggers alerts and provides diagnostics for remote O&M.
10. Reporting & Compliance
- Generates reports for ESG, carbon offsets, FiT schemes, and regulatory bodies (e.g., SEDA, TNB, ISO 50001).
11. Cost & ROI Analytics
- Tracks investment payback, savings from self-generation, FiT revenue, and battery utilization to support financial models.
12. User & Access Management
- Manages platform access by roles (e.g., owner, O&M, grid operator). Supports multi-site and multi-asset portfolios.
