IT company MODUS X has presented an industrial IoT platform for DTEK Group’s businesses. This is a complex combination of servers and cloud computing services that reliably processes data from power plants (TPPs, SPPs, WPPs).
“The solution includes interaction with SCADA systems, collection and processing of arrays, data registration in various storages, transfer of information to the cloud, and deployment of functional software. By changing the way energy is produced, this system changes the entire energy sector for business and, ultimately, society,” says Yevhen Smertenko, Head of Data Engineering at MODUS X.
Advantages of the solution
The platform is easily adaptable to the changing needs of the energy sector, enabling the integration of new energy sources and expanding functionality. The MODUS X solution embodies the flexibility to scale both horizontally and vertically.
In addition, a high level of fault tolerance ensures uninterrupted operation in all circumstances. Optimal utilization of computing resources saves energy and ensures maximum system performance. In the context of data, this platform ensures the confidentiality and integrity of all information.
The IoT platform transforms the power plant and solves complex problems, namely:
- Predictive analytics – by anticipating accidents and emergencies, the platform acts as a proactive shield, preventing potential problems at thermal and hydraulic power plants.
- Renewable energy monitoring – the platform provides integrated monitoring of solar and wind power plants, unlocking the potential for efficient management and optimization of their operation.
- Imbalance analytics – the platform’s ability to maintain a stable balance between green energy sources increases the overall efficiency of electricity generation.
- Predictive analytics for a greener future – the platform provides high-quality forecasts for solar and wind power generation, facilitating strategic planning and sustainable production.
Significance for business
For energy companies, the implementation of DTEK’s industrial IoT platform offers new standards of production efficiency and data security, and paves the way for an industry where energy is produced even more environmentally friendly.
According to Andriy Zhurov, Head of DTEK Renewables’ Operations Department, renewable energy requires the introduction of modern technologies, one of which is IoT.
“The performance of our enterprises depends on many factors, one of which is the improvement of operational efficiency in the technological systems of wind and solar generation enterprises. The main areas of development are generation forecasting and analysis of opportunities to improve the efficiency of SPPs and WPPs,” says Zhurov.
According to him, the platform provides enhanced capabilities and additional tools to achieve the goals with the help of qualified personnel and the use of new technologies involving the best practices of world leaders.
“By integrating new sources and ensuring data security, we are transforming the energy industry. This is ultimately our vision – to implement bold ideas and work for a technological future where our solutions change both individual companies and entire industries,” adds Smertenko.
