Frequently Asked Questions about Renewable Energy Asset Management
A renewable energy asset typically refers to any physical site, station, or farm that generates electricity utilizing renewable resources including wind farms, solar farms, hydro plants, as well as geothermal or biomass plants. A renewable energy portfolio can also include energy storage assets, including hydro pump storage, green hydrogen or lithium battery facilities. In some cases, a renewable asset can suggest a major component or piece of generating equipment at a site like a solar inverter or individual turbine. However, these are more commonly referred to as Power Generating Units (PGUs) or just Unit.
Individual PGUs, groups of similar sites or fleets of green assets typically operate with equipment from multiple manufacturers which are managed by a variety of control and monitoring automation technologies of varying vintages.
Often, these systems don’t easily integrate and limit data access necessary for providing a broad view of operations, both of which can hinder timely and effective decision-making.
Renewable energy asset management refers to the fleet management – dispatch, operation, and maintenance - of the various renewable energy generating sites. One of several contributors to optimal management of the renewable generation fleet is utilizing Asset Performance Management (APM) software that provides plant-wide visibility into the data, health, and key analytics of renewable energy assets. It enables digital transformation by embracing open standards and protocols for connectivity to a broad range of units and devices. The software supports predictive maintenance to enhance reliability, reduce trips, and improve safety.
It offers real-time online access to intelligent diagnostics and alerts, allowing maintenance and operations personnel to respond quickly and make informed decisions. Additionally, it simplifies plant management and grid compliance, supports varying work processes, and integrates with enterprise-level applications to provide visibility of system and plant health.
