PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT…
TOTALLY REIMAGINED
Performance management for solar assets that relies on a dated hodgepodge of modeling methods, data collection, and analytics just won’t support the next generation of solar power. That’s why Denowatts developed a new, integrated performance management model based on advanced benchmarking technology using Digital Twin processing, AI, and IOT interoperability.
Our service delivers ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited capacity testing and sensor calibration for real-time performance assessment. Faster access to more accurate data and analyses means problems and opportunities can be addressed with a new level of efficiency and confidence. It’s a powerful and cost-effective approach that represents a new standard in performance management for the solar industry.
Technology
Digital Twin Benchmarking
Digital Twin Benchmarking (DTB) technology creates real-time modeled and learned simulations to measure performance.
Denowatts developed the Deno DTB technology to more accurately, efficiently, and quickly benchmark solar performance, replacing traditional weather stations. Deno DTB calibration and capacity testing services are Accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, the world’s highest standard for calibration and testing laboratories.
