Solar farms generate vast amounts of operational data, but monitoring electrical performance alone doesn't provide the complete picture. Environmental conditions—including solar radiation, temperature, wind, and rainfall—directly influence how efficiently photovoltaic (PV) systems produce electricity.
By integrating the Automatic Weather Monitoring System with AT-PMS Solar Farm, operators can combine environmental monitoring and energy management into a unified SCADA solution.
Automatic Weather Monitoring System
The Automatic Weather Monitoring System continuously measures:
- Solar radiation
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Rainfall
The collected data is transmitted in real time, stored for historical analysis, and can be used for reporting, alerts, and operational monitoring.
