挑战
TSS 最初开始寻找远程访问解决方案。 TSS 希望更深入地了解他们的系统，这些系统通常位于偏远且难以到达的位置。 Sébastien 解释说：“我们想了解我们的系统的具体行为方式，以了解我们将来是否以及如何改进它们。”机器数据的收集在 TSS 不断改进和优化其产品的过程中发挥着巨大的作用。
TSS 在工业以太网活动期间遇到了 IXON。焦点迅速从远程访问转移到数据记录。 Sébastien 解释说：“借助 Cloud Logging，我们可以收集数据。我们不会与客户共享所有数据，因为某些信息只对我们重要。” TSS 收集机器数据，使他们能够监控和分析他们的系统。但是，它并没有帮助 TSS 快速响应故障和临时问题。

解决方案
2018 年 12 月，TSS 收到了 IXON 的圣诞节促销活动，该促销活动提供了一个免费的 Cloud Notify 许可证来测试新的 IXON Cloud 功能。 “在此之前，我们没有使用 Cloud Notify，但认为这是一个很好的入门机会，”Sébastien 说。 “到目前为止，我们对我们的决定感到非常满意。”借助 IXON 的支持页面，可以轻松设置警报。 TSS 现在收到有关其太阳能系统的各种重要事件的通知。
这种通知的一个例子？白天，来自阳光的能量储存在电池中，在晚上为系统提供能量。 TSS 内置了各种由警报监控的安全措施。 “这些是关于电池电压的警报，”Sébastien 解释说。 “一块电池每天消耗 20% 的能量，如果白天不充电，电池应该能够提供五个晚上的能量。一旦消耗过多能量，我们就会收到通知。”收到此类通知后，TSS 使用 Cloud Logging 检查收集到的机器数据的问题并解决任何问题。
在 Cloud Notify 的帮助下，TSS 还监控系统的效率。太阳能电池板的维护对于保证效率至关重要。 “随着时间的推移，这些面板会变脏，从而对其效率产生负面影响，”Sébastien 说。 “我们现在设置了一个警报，通知我们太阳能电池板达到低效率时必须进行清洁。”如果客户不响应，最终将导致电池容量降低。

Vestas: Turning Climate into Capital with Big Data
Making wind a reliable source of energy depends greatly on the placement of the wind turbines used to produce electricity. Turbulence is a significant factor as it strains turbine components, making them more likely to fail. Vestas wanted to pinpoint the optimal location for wind turbines to maximize power generation and reduce energy costs.

Siemens Wind Power
Wind provides clean, renewable energy. The core concept is simple: wind turbines spin blades to generate power. However, today's systems are anything but simple. Modern wind turbines have blades that sweep a 120 meter circle, cost more than 1 million dollars and generate multiple megawatts of power. Each turbine may include up to 1,000 sensors and actuators – integrating strain gages, bearing monitors and power conditioning technology. The turbine can control blade speed and power generation by altering the blade pitch and power extraction. Controlling the turbine is a sophisticated job requiring many cooperating processors closing high-speed loops and implementing intelligent monitoring and optimization algorithms. But the real challenge is integrating these turbines so that they work together. A wind farm may include hundreds of turbines. They are often installed in difficult-to-access locations at sea. The farm must implement a fundamentally and truly distributed control system. Like all power systems, the goal of the farm is to match generation to load. A farm with hundreds of turbines must optimize that load by balancing the loading and generation across a wide geography. Wind, of course, is dynamic. Almost every picture of a wind farm shows a calm sea and a setting sun. But things get challenging when a storm goes through the wind farm. In a storm, the control system must decide how to take energy out of gusts to generate constant power. It must intelligently balance load across many turbines. And a critical consideration is the loading and potential damage to a half-billion-dollar installed asset. This is no environment for a slow or undependable control system. Reliability and performance are crucial.

Remote Monitoring and Control for a Windmill Generator
As concerns over global warming continue to grow, green technologies are becoming increasingly popular. Wind turbine companies provide an excellent alternative to burning fossil fuels by harnessing kinetic energy from the wind and converting it into electricity. A typical wind farm may include over 80 wind turbines so efficient and reliable networks to manage and control these installations are imperative. Each wind turbine includes a generator and a variety of serial components such as a water cooler, high voltage transformer, ultrasonic wind sensors, yaw gear, blade bearing, pitch cylinder, and hub controller. All of these components are controlled by a PLC and communicate with the ground host. Due to the total integration of these devices into an Ethernet network, one of our customers in the wind turbine industry needed a serial-to-Ethernet solution that can operate reliably for years without interruption.

IoT Powering A New Way to Light Streets with Bifacial Solar Panels
When James Meringer’s commercial contracting business experienced a rapid increase in solar projects, he also saw an opportunity to extend the benefits of solar by using the bifacial solar panels he’d become familiar with in new ways. Bifacial solar panels enable sunlight from both sides of the panel, making it a more efficient harvest of solar power. Seeing the panel’s power, James and his team set out to use the same technology for street lighting. Until now, solar street lights have served as utilitarian solutions that force designers to choose between form and function. The Mira Bella Energy team has changed that.
