EnerMAN is known for its smart IoT and AI-based solar monitoring solutions. Can you tell us how your products are changing the way solar plants are managed?
EnerMAN IoT SCADA (ETi-SOL), a web and mobile application software with CMS (Central Monitoring System) / RMS (Remote Monitoring System) capabilities, can be accessed by customer 24/7 from anywhere using internet connected smart phone / Laptop / PC. They can access minute-wise live data for monitoring & control of the performance of key equipment. Our products notify the alerts /alarms on breakdown of equipment in fraction of a second. This will help site Engineers/Technicians attend the breakdowns to reduce the loss of generation.
AI/ML driven ETi-SOL provides an analysis report on Inverters performance ranking; this will help Engineers / Technicians to take corrective action to improve the performance of low performing Inverters.
ETi-SOL also provides analysis report on Inverter downtime and grid downtime loss on hourly, daily and monthly basis; this will help Engineers /Technologists to take preventive action to reduce the down time of Inverters and grid. This very feature empowers the designer to choose better performing PV modules, Inverters and other key equipment for the future projects.
ETi-SOL automatically sends emails to developers on daily generation reports and monthly generation reports. ETi-SOL shares live data with customer’s Finance and Accounting System automation of revenue and expenses management.
ETi-SOL shares energy forecast, and live performance data with QCA (Qualified Coordinating Agencies) and SLDC (State Load Dispatch Centers) for energy scheduling. ETi-SOL shares live data with SEDM Portal (Solar Energy Data Management) for PM-KUSUM projects which enables effective management of distributed solar system by automating the billing process with efficient implementation of financial support schemes.
Advanced technology often comes at a high cost. How do you make sure your solutions stay affordable while still being innovative?
EnerMAN started developing products with primary goal of affordability in cost sensitive Indian market. We are happy to claim, that we have contributed in bringing down cost of Solar PV SCADA per MW from more than INR 3.5 lakhs in 2015-16 to less than INR 1 lakh by 2018-19. We have built end-to-end products including Hardware, Firmware, Software and Mobile Apps with our in-house team in Bengaluru using open-source software /platforms to bring down the cost. EnerMAN products helps in improving overall energy generation efficiency by more than 2%. The 2+ % increase in energy generation from 2.7+GW Solar PV plants/Rooftops translate to 72+ million units additional generation per year.
Each market has its own approach to renewable energy. How do regional factors shape the way digital monitoring solutions are used in solar plants?
Every country or state has their own rules, guidelines, policies and schemes for renewable energy. These require specific features or customization in products to enforce these regulations and compliance to regional rules and guidelines.
Our complete set of products ETi-SOL, ETi-EDGE, ETi-PPC, ETi-ZES, ETi-LOG, and ETi-LMS provides all necessary local requirements, which helps customers setup and operate renewable assets by following mandatory local regulations.
How does EnerMAN help solar companies and developers move faster toward their net-zero targets?
EnerMAN’s Innovative products will help developers / renewable asset owners in tracking of every unit of clean and green energy generated from renewable assets 24/7, with live and remote tracking of KPI like CO2 emission reduction, and equivalent Tree farms to absorb CO2 emission for every minute from day one of their assets till lifetime of the assets. This will help developers to plan their investments in renewable assets to achieve a net-zero target and maintain their net-zero goal target.
What’s next for EnerMAN? What are your main goals for growth and new offerings in the renewable energy market?
Energy Storage is becoming part of Renewable Energy; many solar PV plants integrated with energy storage to improve the grid stability and 24/7 stable power guarantee. EnerMAN is developing ETi-BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) monitoring, control and analysis products for BESS. This will support utilizing renewable energy 24/7 in future.EnerMAN is developing advance features and analytics to reduce the losses and improve the performance of the Solar PV assets. EnerMAN planning to expand its presence in APAC, North America, Australia, ME and African countries in coming years.
