Webinars

In the era of multi-GW portfolios, there is more solar plant data to analyse than ever before. Solar asset owners and manager's capable of cutting through the noise are already enjoying tangible benefits. Discover how a multi-GW IPP like ReNew is using 3E's advanced analytics and manage to significantly enhance plant performance and revenue through data-informed interventions. Get inspired by their use cases, and start your own success story!

The grid needs to be increasingly capable of adapting to an ever-fluctuating residual load on different timescales, from seconds to months.

The interest in emerging technologies, solutions and business models is higher than ever before, and with 20 years of renewable energy expertise, 3E shared new products and market insights with project developers, asset owners, investors and lenders. As a company driving the evolution of the renewable energy market, we presented an interesting mix of technical topics, round table discussions and valuable networking opportunities.

Are you looking to reduce the uncertainty in your solar project development process? Do you want to achieve higher energy estimates and optimise your project value?

In this whitepaper, we explore how physics-based Digital Twin technology creates value for asset operators. You will learn about different types of Digital Twins and of modelling, and discover why the physics-based approach offers faster, more accurate insights that drive performance improvements and optimise asset use. Additionally, we present a use case where a leading IPP used advanced Digital Twin analytics to optimise operations across 170+ sites, resulting into a 2-3% increase in energy yield, transforming their maintenance strategies and overall efficiency.

The impact of turbulence intensity on wind turbine performance is significant, yet there is no consensus on its precise impact on energy yield. To address these uncertainties, wind turbine manufacturers incorporate safety margins into warranted power curves, which can lead to substantial financial implications for wind projects. 3E has developed a simple yet robust method to model the influence of turbulence intensity on wind turbine power curves, with the aim of comparing with the approach used by manufacturers. In this article, we introduce a method for evaluting turbine performance losses, distinguishing between losses site-specific and generic power curve losses. This method is implemented in our Wind Analytics application to monitor the performance of wind turbines, and is also used by our Advisory Services to estimate performance losses in pre-construction energy yield studies.

In managing distributed renewable energy assets, traditional control center workflows struggle with scale and diversity. When operational teams try to expand their asset portfolios, relying on basic monitoring tools, such as graphs and status flags, becomes inadequate. This limitation is intensified by the proliferation of false alarms generated by standard asset performance management systems, hindering efficient workflows necessary for effective asset oversight.

In this whitepaper, Eurac Research compared the results of two PV yield simulation tools, namely 3E SynaptiQ and PVsyst, with the measured performance data of 12 reference PV systems. The results were evaluated at hourly, weekly, monthly and annual resolutions.

We are thrilled to present the report titled "Context-Sensitive PV Plant Component Benchmarking Based on Monitoring Data," authored by 3E as part of the TRUST-PV project. This report offers valuable insights into the influence of different contextual parameters on the distribution of key performance indicators for PV components.

In this white paper, we stress the importance of accurate modelling, both from a business and technical perspective, to minimise risks and maximise the return on investment of BESS. Furthermore, the techno-economic digital twin can ensure continuity of modelling throughout the asset's lifecycle, which enhances the development, commissioning and operational efficiency.

Leveraging production data from nearby operating wind turbines provides crucial insights and benefits throughout the lifecycle of a wind project.

TÜV Rheinland has validated and qualified as excellent 3E’s satellite derived solar irradiation data over 35 meteo stations in Germany.

The paper explains how a Smart Performance Monitoring Software outperforms a standard monitoring system by its effective asset reporting tools, its risk mitigation strategies, its response time to failure modes and the prioritization of actions and preventive maintenance tasks.

The Solar Bankability project aims to establish a common practice for professional risk assessment which will serve to reduce the risks associated with investments in PV projects.

The handbook instructs on how to develop a Clean Energy Transition Agenda and provides inspiration for the next steps as well as a check-list for clean energy transition management’.

3E’s satellite-based solar irradiation data is constantly evaluated against the reference data from the measurement stations making it the most extensively validated satellite-based irradiation data source
