Up to 36% additional fuel savings within microgrids with Reuniwatt's sky camera and forecasts

Munich (ots) - Hybrid projects including PV + diesel gensets are
becoming a major trend for remote locations which are not connected
to an electrical grid. Reuniwatt has been working for some years now
on dedicated forecasting solutions which enable to dynamically
control a hybrid system's spinning reserve, leading to up to 36%
additional fuel savings!

Microgrids and weather forecasts

Reuniwatt's short-term forecasting service is based on the use of
the company's patented Sky InSight[TM] cloud imager. It is an
innovative sky camera for the short-term prediction of a solar
plant's production. It offers an unprecedented accuracy in cloud
detection by taking advantage of the infrared vision technology.
Coupled with Reuniwatt's predictive algorithms, Sky InSight[TM] is
able to proficiently forecast the production of solar plants.

It provides a good vision of current and upcoming local weather
conditions. Therefore, during the day, generators run on a partial
load, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels needed to power the
microgrid. The brutal drops of solar production caused by the cloud
movements are detected in time in order to ramp up the spinning
reserve and therefore optimise the plant operation.

Reuniwatt selected among the finalists for the "Smarter-E Award
2018"

Sky InSight[TM] has been selected among the finalists for the
"Smarter-E Award 2018". We will be presenting this solution during
the Smarter-E Forum, in the "Smart Renewable Energy category" on
Wednesday June 20 at 13:15 - Hall B2.570.
