Telemetry solar power

What is remote Solar telemetry?

Harnessing the unlimited power of the sun, our remote solar telemetry systems can provide you with virtually any kind of data feed; from a basic counter to a full-fledged control system with two-way communications.

Should utility companies use telemetry?

Despite this, some utility companies across the globe are using outdated or first-generation telemetry that simply isn’t up to the job. Conversely, the latest RTUs have been designed specifically to overcome the challenges in the energy and power sector.

Why do power generators need remote telemetry units?

1. Power generators know the importance of communicating with their equipment, particularly systems located in remote areas, far from the control room. Remote telemetry units enable the needed data gathering and communication with field operations. Courtesy: Ovarro However, help is at hand.

Will remote telemetry unit systems make smart grids possible?

However, RTUs will make this possible by creating millions of new intelligent grid assets. Matthew Hawkridge is Development Director at Ovarro, formerly Servelec Technologies. Matthew Hawkridge looks at why the latest remote telemetry unit systems take energy companies closer to the utopia of smart grids.

Can remote telemetry be a utopia?

However, this is only achievable through the capture, storage and interpretation of vast amounts of data from physical assets. The technology capable of achieving this utopia is the remote telemetry unit (RTU), which is one of the reasons why they are now a critical part of most power generation and distribution operations.

What are the benefits of telemetry?

Distribution automation is another benefit, because it allows assets to be controlled autonomously whilst avoiding having to place personnel in remote, hostile environments. That means telemetry projects have a rapid return on investment, making them self funding in the short term.
