Next steps & Future Plans

21

2014

Continue Roll out on major wind farms (450 wind turbines)

Integrate the PI System with Ehkosoft application

Retire legacy applications and make only use of

PI System Infrastructure

PI AF

Ekhosoft

2015

Use PI AF 2014 to model our solar plants

These have less uniform structures than wind plants

More than 4,000 inverters

More than 300,000 channels to monitor

© Copyr i gh t 2014 OSIso f t , LLC.

• online monitoring

• unified user interface

• Improved users experience

• efficiency increase 1%

• € 2.600.000.- pure benefit for our

customers per year

Solution Results and Benefits

Summary

Business Challenge

• many scattered assets

• multiple technologies

• Dial-in vs. online monitoring

• “maturing” Customers

• limited resources

• Implementation of PI System

Infrastructure

• Standardization of connectivity

• multiplication from one to many

assets using PI AF

• one unified view for the control room

as 1st level support

“We are convinced that we will be able to continue in

creating the worldwide energy transition with our

experience in planning, constructing and operating

renewable energy plants.

The PI System will help us to achieve this goal. “
