Operational Excellence Ensures Uptime and Productivity

Operations and management solutions from NergyOS can eliminate PV system downtime, improve production performance and ensure continued operations over a system’s lifetime.

To effectively operate a portfolio of solar assets over time, PV system managers have to deal with a plethora of events ranging from equipment failure, vandalism, theft, fire and degradation, to unforeseen catastrophic events that can negatively impact energy production. The operational challenges to servicing portfolio assets, utilities, renewable energy programs and diverse sets of technology – over a wide geographical area and in a timely and cost effective manner – could become overwhelming for organizations.

Failure to meet these challenges often results in higher total cost of ownership, lost revenues and profits, increased liabilities, unwanted liquidated damages and unhappy customers for PV system operators.

The capabilities and operational excellence of an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) program are essential for organizations looking to take on these challenges:

		Monitoring & Analytics Track ongoing production against warranted production levels, revenue targets and energy savings; detect degradation and potential hazardous conditions; diagnose and pinpoint cause and source of system failures, etc.
		Preventive Maintenance Conduct regular maintenance; service equipment based on OEMs and system warranty requirements; etc.
		Predictive Maintenance Predict hazardous conditions, degradation and failures based on operational history, equipment failure statistics and site data before events happen; optimize scheduling with regular maintenance, etc.
		Reactive Repair Perform repairs on a timely basis to minimize downtime; provide access to skilled personnel, replacement parts and equipment.
		Operations Back Office Use communications, technology and infrastructure to automate operations Establish rigorous operational procedures Establish rigorous operational procedures Utilize documentation system to capture reports for energy production, performance, system availability, work orders, failure analysis, alarm logs, spare part use & inventory, maintenance & inspection, safety & accident Dispatch field service work orders based on optimal timing, route, and personnel.
