Scaling renewables operations: Using digital tools for efficient asset management at the utility scale

Digital tools can play a key role in maximizing return on investment for a utility-scale PV plant. Reducing unplanned downtime, cutting labor costs and ensuring standardization across a portfolio of plants all provide tangible benefits to renewables asset managers, owners and investors.

In this pv magazine Webinar we’ll take a look at the challenges related to scaling operations for utility-scale PV such as scarcity of expertise, underperformance of assets compared to the target business case, increased complexity of technology and the market, and the cost of operation and maintenance services.

Joined by Thomas Pettersen from TGS and Prof. Erik Stensrud Marstein from the Institute for Energy Technology in Norwary, we’ll examine the importance of standardization to solving these challenges with a high level discussion on topics ranging from the role of digital twins and central data repositories to effective onboarding and system implementation throughout a plant’s lifecycle.

We’ll also examine real-world examples of how digital asset management tools can help plant owners understand and resolve power losses, reduce unplanned downtime, and limit unexpected O&M expenses while keeping labor costs low.
