- Abstract
Monitoring a large and geographically dispersed solar generation fleet can be a challenging undertaking. At Dominion Energy, there is currently over 1.7 GW of transmission and distribution‐connected solar generation. Performing the post‐mortem analysis and ensuring the safe and reliable operation on more than 100 solar facilities can take substantial engineering efforts. In this study, a renewable generation data collection platform is presented to address the increasing need for solar generation monitoring. The data platform consists of data collection, event storage, real‐time alerts, and data analytics applications. The data analysis system can support various technical aspects in solar integration, including grounding monitoring, inverter fault response and model validation, power quality monitoring, and equipment overvoltage protection. The proposed data platform greatly improves the visibility of solar generation and ensures its successful integration.
