Algorithm Consulting Integration

Our APM integrates seamlessly with Scada of all major turbine OEMs.

It also acquires data from all electrical equipment and devices, installed at the sub-station.

Algorithm Consulting Wind Farm/Fleet Connectivity

The APM server physically connects with Turbine Scada server. From where it retrieves both historical and real time operating parameters, events, status signals, warnings and alarms.

These inputs serve as building blocks for generating a real time picture of operational and financial performance of the wind farm.

Integration with Turbine Scada

Integration with Electrical balance of Plant (EBoP)

Using IEC 61850 or 60870-5-101/104 the APM server gains access to real time values of the operating parameters of sub-station equipment. These include warnings and alarms from protection relays, energy import or export values from energy meters and the status of the switchgear and its operations.

These inputs are processed and turned into wide ranging capabilities. Such as real-time measurement of revenues and energy consumption within the wind farm. A precise calculation of production losses due to faults within the power collection system; including grid outage events.

Integration with met masts

We use mast inputs to independently verify OEMs nacelle transfer function (NTF). An understated NTF, exaggerates the power curve performances – Giving false comfort. The APM does not implicitly trust the OEM’s NTF. If needed, the APM applies its own NTF corrections.
Met masts also serve as a backup source of wind data. During a grid failure, turbines are powered down and can’t measure wind speed. Met masts, with backup power supply, can. The APM uses these records to calculate the potential energy, lost during the shutdown.

Integration with Forecast Providers

Algorithm Consulting has partnered with leading Wind Forecast providers to ensure that O&M teams are able to utilize these forecasts to plan their turbine interventions and conduct Preventive Maintenances during low wind cycles.

Algorithm Consulting APM can also integrate with any Wind Forecast Provider as per client's discretion.

Integration with energy trading systems

We ensure that your energy trader whether in-house or a third party, gets the real time data that he needs, from your plant. This is regardless of the data transfer protocol that your trader may need. We comply with his requirements.
From your trader, the APM picks up all past and current contracts with their duration and tariffs. The APM uses these inputs to generate production revenues and monetized losses.

The APM acquires the latest tariff and their change history from the customer’s financial accounting systems. It also acquires latest sales and accounts receivable ledger balances of the power purchaser. This enables the APM to display real time sales revenues, receivables and accrued revenues.
The APM applies tariffs to convert production losses into financial losses, valued in a currency. This brings impacts of technical failures from their relative obscurity into full glare of the management - Homing in the urgency of taking corrective and preventive actions.
