1. Can you briefly introduce Enerman and outline the products and services it provides for IoT-based AI & ML-driven digital and SCADA solutions in the solar PV plant sector?
EnerMAN is a leading provider of innovative, IoT based AI & ML driven SCADA and Energy Management products and solutions at affordable prices to the Renewable Energy Industry. EnerMAN Technologies is founded in May 2019, with the vision to “Provide innovative products to manage energy and decarbonize the world”. EnerMAN is contributing towards achieving net zero goal by providing innovative products to digitize Renewable Assets.
Our key products are:
ETi-LOG: is an IIoT Data logger, which collects the data through RS 485 (RTU/TCP) from Solar PV plants’ end equipment (inverters, SMUs, WMS, Transformers, Trackers, Breakers/Relay panels) and sends data to Local PC/Servers or to the cloud Servers through RS485/Ethernet (Modbus RTU/TCP) or RF or Wi-Fi. It has in built storage to ensure no data loss during internet failure.
ETi-SOL®: is a cloud-based software Monitoring platform which acquires data from the field IoT devices for Monitoring, Controlling, Analysis and Reporting (DGR & others reports) of Solar PV plants /rooftops. It is also a Centralized Remote Monitoring platform -Integrate multiple SCADA into single dashboard. Users can monitor through web apps, mobile apps (Android, and iOS).
ETi-Edge: is a local monitoring SCADA solution. ETi-Edge can be installed in local plant server to avoid data storing in 3rd party cloud server and no dependency on internet.
ETi-PPC: is a Power Plant Control system that will control active power, reactive power, and power factor of Solar Inverter (Solar Plant, Solar-Wind Hybrid Plants). PPC is a combination of Software Logic and Hardware which continuously monitors and controls the Solar inverters.
ETi-SLDC: This software product can be installed in local PCs/Servers to collect data from the Solar PV plant’s equipment and can send important processed clean data to SLDC in a few seconds as per SLDC guidelines.
ETi-ZES: Zero Export system which will ensure Zero Export from Solar PV plants / Rooftops to Grid, as per DISCOM policy guidelines, to avoid penalty. This product collects the data from Solar PV plants’ end-equipment and controls/limits the out-going power of Solar Inverters based on load/consumption at factory/manufacturing unit.
ETi-LMS: Load Management System is an IoT Solution for DG-Sync which is a universal Solution for all Inverter brands (Supports Heterogenous Make) Controls Active Power of Inverters.
ETi-CAST: Energy Generation & Forecasting solution which is a cloud-based forecasting tool for solar power plants/rooftops.
2. How does Enerman incorporate IoT, AI, and ML technologies into its digital and SCADA products for optimizing solar PV plant performance?
EnerMAN IoT SCADA product ETi-SOL, monitors the performance of key equipment 24/7 with sampling frequency of 1 minute and notify the alerts / alarm in few seconds. This will help Engineers/Technicians to attend the alerts/alarms to reduce the loss of generation / damage of assets.
EnerMAN provides analysis on Inverter ranking based on Inverter performance on various KPIs. This will help Asset Owners / O&M site Engineers/Technicians to initiate the comprehensive maintenance work to improve the low ranked Inverter performance, which will enhance the performance of Solar PV plants.
EnerMAN provide analysis of Equipment downtime, keep track of equipment downtime throughout its lifetime, which will help Asset Owners / O&M team to take timely preventive and corrective action to reduce the downtime, which will enhance the performance of Solar PV plants and Inverter downtime loss.
EnerMAN products will help in improving the efficiency / generation by more than 2%. Our products are deployed over 1.8GWp Solar plants which will directly contribute to generating more than 2% i.e., 45 million units out of 2.25 billion units (18 MT of Co2 reduction or equivalent to nurturing 7.1 lakhs mature trees).
3. What common challenges do solar PV plant operators face in the renewable energy sector, and how do Enerman’s products provide solutions to these challenges?
Reliable, affordable, end-to-end, easy to use, SCADA solution providers (quick supply and support service) to fulfill all regulatory compliance and remote monitor the performance of the Solar Assets is big challenge in India and in the world. EnerMAN trying to address these challenges.
4. Can you outline Enerman’s future roadmap for product development and market expansion? Are there any exciting features or upcoming products for customers to anticipate?We are planning to develop software products for Energy Storage management, Advance Analytics of Asset Performance Management, EV and Building Load management in future.
