Remote Data Monitoring / Telemetry
*SCADA-Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition / *RTU-Remote Terminal Unit
Remote telemetry or data collection projects are often sited a distance away from the nearest mains supply.
Each is a prime candidate for solar use because:
- Off-Grid Solar or wind generated power offers a cost-effective remote power solution, capable of being deployed in the remotest of locations
- Modern telemetry, RTU and data monitoring equipment is becoming increasingly efficient, requiring relatively small amounts of power to record and transmit data
- The cost of any stand-alone power system is directly related to the amount of power required making remote solar or wind powered telemetry systems increasingly viable
- Being completely independent, solar and wind power systems will continue to record and transmit data even when the national grid goes down.
Keeping Data Flowing, Forever
Our Green Energy Storage on a solar or wind power system acts like a large uninterruptible power supply. For 'mission critical' systems, more autonomy can be specified and high levels of redundancy can be incorporated from the outset.
With the ability to scale according to your needs, PV panels or wind generators can produce excess power all through the year, thus our Green Energy Storages are always being topped up from the wind and sun.
Low Voltage, High Efficiency
Power requirements can vary widely from one similar data collection device to another.
For maximum return on your investment, it is important to carefully select the most efficient telemetry equipment on the market.
Due to the fact that most telemetry systems are running 24 hours, 7 days per week, it is HIGHLY BENEFICIAL if the data acquisition equipment can be powered from a DC source, ideally 12V or 24V nominal.
Using a straight DC supply eliminates the need for DC to AC inverters in the system. Inverters have conversion & standby losses which would push the power consumption up substantially. Using solely DC also makes for a simpler and more cost-effective power system.
Wind & Solar Power Systems Custom-Designed With a Local Sense
We specialise in the supply of independent solar and wind power systems, specifically tailored towards remote data monitoring applications.
Each system is custom designed, using local Meteorological Data, to meet the client’s exact specification.
Please contact us with FULL DETAILS of your telemetry application including device supply voltage, average power draw, average running hours per day and your site’s location. This is the primary information we need to be able to suggest a solution for your application.
