Real-World Renewable Energy Analysis Examples
Solar Farm Performance Optimization
A utility company managing 50 MW of solar capacity needed to identify underperforming panels and optimize cleaning schedules. Using Sourcetable, they integrated inverter data, weather stations, and maintenance logs into a single dashboard.
The analysis revealed that Panel Array 7 was producing 15% below expected output due to persistent soiling. By adjusting the cleaning frequency from monthly to bi-weekly for that section, they recovered $180,000 in annual revenue while reducing overall maintenance costs.
Wind Energy Forecasting Model
An energy trading company needed accurate 48-hour wind generation forecasts to optimize their bidding strategy in electricity markets. They combined historical turbine data with weather forecasting models in Sourcetable.
The AI-powered model improved their forecasting accuracy by 23%, reducing imbalance penalties by $2.3 million annually. The automated alerts now notify traders when wind patterns suggest significant generation changes, enabling proactive market positioning.
Energy Storage System Analytics
A microgrid operator wanted to optimize their battery storage charging and discharging cycles to maximize lifespan while ensuring grid stability. They used Sourcetable to analyze charge patterns, temperature data, and grid demand cycles.
The analysis identified optimal charging windows during low-demand periods and developed a discharge strategy that extended battery life by 18 months while maintaining 99.7% grid reliability. The automated system now manages 15 MWh of storage across multiple sites.
