Hi, I'm Oscar, a wind farm developer.
Running this project comes with a whole host of challenges.
We've got ever-increasing cost pressure and market constraints,
unplanned downtimes escalating operation and maintenance costs while
trying to optimize our production to account for growing energy
demand is an absolute nightmare.
Let alone trying to maximize revenues and reduce LCOE.
I sometimes wish I could build a data model at an earlier stage of a
project development for grid studies to help enable a streamlined
handover process EPC to us, operators.
Oh hey, Oscar, it's Sophia from Schneider Electric.
I've got some great news for you.
It's called digital twin for wind farms, and it does everything you
could dream of and more.
It covers the entire power system lifetime through a model driven
approach from plant design right through to operations and
maintenance. Here at Schneider, we have experience in more than 50
gigawatt wind farms around the globe, and we know achieving more
sustainable and optimized energy is not an easy task.
That's why we've designed a truly comprehensive system architecture.
Ecostruxure Power for Wind.
As you'll know, capex reduction can directly be achieved through
speeding up time to market and mitigating project execution risks.
So relying on standardized solutions for MV collection and grid
connection, integrating protection and control, power plant
controller and metering functions can directly reduce those costs.
Using prefabricated solutions makes designing and approvals quicker,
too. It's helpful that they're all compliant too.
Power Quality disturbances can affect compliance to grid code while
degrading assets reliability, right?
Occurring electrical disturbances such as voltage variations and
harmonic currents are permanently monitored and analyzed, allowing
for immediate mitigation.
Oh wow, that's amazing.
But I've heard some dodgy things about connecting too much online.
Yeah, it's a pretty serious thing if you do it wrong.
But EcoStruxure power systems actually harden the security of the
network as natively designed in accordance with the highest
cybersecurity standards.
So, you know, you're always one step ahead, and I'm happy to say
EcoStruxure, helps reduce the risk of electrical fires and ensures
personal protection through detection of arc flashes.
abnormal temperatures and abnormal behaviors of connected products
ensures protection through tested, validated, and documented digital
architectures.
That sounds great, but what about helping me run multiple sites?
We've got you covered there.
Through our Aveva unified operating centers, you get visuals in one
platform, giving you the right information at the right time and in
the right context.
Our digital solutions for asset performance management help reduce
downtime and increase operation efficiency.
Its failure prediction feature based on machine learning is pretty
nifty, too. And finally, Oscar, you'll be happy to hear all this
helps maximize revenues from day one.
Advanced power plant controllers and advisors enable participation to
ancillary services mechanisms like frequency responses.
Furthermore, using a unique digital platform, vendor agnostic such as
Auto Grid Flex can provide comprehensive market access and operations
to the assets under management.
As an owner of large renewable generation portfolios, you'll then be
able to fully leverage variabilities of market and production to
convert into revenue opportunities.
All I need to know now is, where do I sign up?
I thought you'd never ask.
Starting your next renewables project couldn't be easier with
EcoStruxure, power for wind.
