Description

We solved the under-performance problem of one of the Middle East’s largest solar plants, the 800MW DEWA MBR III (https://www.dewa.gov.ae/en/about-us/media-publications/latest-news/2020/12/800mw-3rd-phase-of-the-mohammed-bin-rashid-al-maktoum-solar-park). Using AVEVA’s AI-powered Apollo Energy Analytics solution, we optimized soiling and sun tracker performance at a record speed (1 Month), increasing generation performance by 2.5%. This resulted in an annual revenue increase of 130K USD from soiling optimisation and 50K USD from tracker optimisation. We identified further electrical underperformance opportunities worth an additional 100K USD. The ROI of this APM application is 100%, delivering increased profitability in O&M and providing actionable insights.
