The day-to-day experience for renewable energy asset managers and engineers is often frenetic and stressful. Every day these individuals are doing their best to wade through the potential wind farm issues— it is a daily fire drill where asset managers never feel they truly have a handle on asset management, but are instead purely reactive.

The trendiest and latest transformative technology for renewable energy is Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). But as with any new endeavor, they can be difficult to manage—particularly for maximizing scheduled events without utility fines. We compiled a list of the KPIs and use cases for renewable energy to manage energy demand with a BESS.

While Battery Energy Storage Systems may be the latest in game-changing technology for renewable energy, adhering to the warranty around these systems is arguably more complicated than for all other assets in the renewable energy asset class.

Traditional monitoring for renewable energy assets is a must have. It does a great job of monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) of assets so that operators can meet contractual obligations with their clients. This is a necessary function of asset management. That said, the data retrieved from traditional monitoring isn’t doing enough to improve performance.

How does the Alert Manager help Oil and Gas Operations? The alert management solution by NarrativeWave creates prioritization rules, automatically reduces overlapping alarms, and even assigns next step actions. This means that instead of spending time manually reviewing alarms and alerts, O&G operators can spend time taking action on high priority issues.

NarrativeWave is not your typical asset monitoring software, which is good because typical asset monitoring cannot keep up with the demands of modern energy engineers. The NarrativeWave solution helps engineers go beyond basic monitoring by automating manual processes and then, suggesting the best corrective action. Watch this video to learn how it works.

Engineers working at industrial operations can all agree that asset monitoring systems are producing too many alerts to manage. Alert fatigue is common and valuable insights are overlooked because the engineers just don’t have the time to investigate each alert to find the ones that are impacting production. Here's some of what we've heard.

Data analytics projects at energy companies seem to be never-ending. Many projects take much longer than anticipated, while others are marked a complete failure either in completion or at delivering the results anticipated. Data analytics projects start with great intentions—usually with the hopes of reducing asset downtime. And there are indeed great gains that can be made by improving your analytics. So where do the projects go wrong?

Many operation staffs are spread thin as solar owners add capacity without expanding staff correspondingly. The expansion is fueled by a rare cluster of positive drivers — low equipment prices, cheap financing, and booming demand for renewables from states, utilities, and green-leaning commercial customers — but the result is that engineers and technicians on-site are often being asked to do steadily more with fewer people.

Proactive oil and gas operators are adopting advanced monitoring tools that use analytics because these systems add value in two key areas — helping operators do more with less, and helping them get more out of their wells. Read on for four steps to get to becoming proactive in your o&g operations.

Many organizations feel they don't have the time, resources, or knowledge to begin any type of data science project. Some lack insights into their data, some are buried under a pile of insightful data, and most do not even know where to begin. Leveraging automation and analytic solutions can garner a massive return, but how do you even get started?

Since 2000, water costs in the United States have more than doubled, while federal funding for water infrastructure has continued to decrease — from $76 per person to only $11 per person. Today, state and local governments bear the burden of 96 percent of all public spending on water and wastewater utilities.

Across the energy industry, markets are becoming more competitive and operators are trying to do more with an increasingly distributed workforce. Establishing a reliable automated workflow is no longer optional to remain competitive.

There are four types of methods that should be used to simulate a diagnostic process that engineers are doing. While these don’t represent how a human does this analysis in their head, these methods allow us to very efficiently capture and deploy engineering knowledge in an automated digital system.

As airlines, engine manufacturers, OEMs, and aircraft operators engage in the implementation of advanced analytics and data analysis, many challenges lie ahead.

The power of preparation is one of the key ingredients to a successful pilot. At NarrativeWave, we take a unique approach in the IoT space to a pilot engagement. Our approach to a pilot is predicated upon a targeted set of outputs, analytics, and metrics to achieve with the client, delivering specific business value in under 60 days, and then allowing the client to scale in more of a “do it yourself” approach, with the NarrativeWave software solution.

While wind turbine manufacturers and wind farm operators have developed suites of advanced applications to help diagnose operating anomalies on wind turbines, many are still taking a “trip first, analyze later” approach. This approach made sense when the application of near real-time analytics was not cost effective. However today, near real-time analytics can be applied seamlessly within the operational workflow of existing monitoring operations, resulting in several key benefits.

The NarrativeWave approach provides a strategic method of utilizing predictive analytics and improves the outcome of implementing analytics. The result is a highly accurate, auditable platform rather than a pure “black box” approach. At NarrativeWave, we believe the best route to data analytics and particularly analytics for the Industrial Internet of Things, must have several key elements. Read on to learn more.
