Monitoring Renewable Energy Systems
No respectable power plant would be built without
extensive instrumentation to continuously monitor and
validate its performance. The same should be true
of renewable energy systems, regardless of their size.
As we move toward extensive use of distributed energy
generation from renewable sources, there will be a need
for extensive monitoring of the performance of these systems.
Unfortunately, this is seldom done today. It will be a
necessary part of a maturing renewable energy industry.
This page presents a list of renewable energy systems
whose performance is being tracked by the WCS Data Logger.
To see information about the systems that are currently being
monitored, select from the list below. To learn more about the
WCS Logger, select items under the "Documentation" heading
on the menu.
If you log in with a user ID of "guest" and a password of
"guest", additional options will appear in the table below,
including the ability to view the configuration of each logger
(in "read-only" mode).
If you would like to "test drive" a system, please contact us,
and we will assign you a user ID that will allow you full administrator
access to one of the test loggers.
Thank You for visiting!
