Unlocking Grid Stability: Real-Time Photovoltaic Monitoring with Canvass
This white paper explores the challenges of integrating distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation into the electric grid, focusing on voltage regulation and system stability. It demonstrates how Power Monitors, Inc.'s Canvass web-based platform, paired with Revolution and Boomerang analyzers, enables continuous, high-resolution monitoring and analysis of PV systems. Through real-world data and case studies, the paper highlights how Canvass supports long-term trend analysis, weather impact assessment, and effective troubleshooting of PV-related grid issues.
Key topics include:
- Introduction: Distributed Generation and Grid Challenges
- Overview of Canvass-Enabled Analyzers
- Data Collection and Transmission Methods
- Benefits of Web-Based PV Monitoring
- Case Studies: Weather and Seasonal Impacts on PV Output
- Voltage Regulation and Trend Analysis
Why utilities should care:
Continuous, granular PV monitoring enables the identification of voltage regulation issues, supports accurate load and generation forecasting, and informs operational adjustments, ensuring grid reliability and optimized integration of distributed solar resources.
