Shanghai TAOKE Network Technology has developed the GPRS photovoltaic data acquisition (TK-G10-01/08/16/08S/16S) and Ethernet photovoltaic data acquisition the (TK-E20-01/08/16/08S/16S/32D) systems for a wide range of PV power plant applications, designed to protect and improve the operating efficiency of the PV system.
Problem
Correct PV power plant maintenance is required to provide optimum yield of the system and to provide the best ROI. Monitoring technology is becoming increasingly important and sophisticated to remote monitoring and management. However, many internet-based monitoring equipment is either single function, or too expensive, so most users and PV system integrators require lower cost alternatives but retain full functionality.
Solution
TAOKE develops and produces third-party remote monitoring systems for photovoltaic power plants, using a self-developed mini-photovoltaic data acquisition box. The built-in embedded operating system provides monitoring features of the overall network architecture, data acquisition delay control in less than two seconds, and is capable of operating in cloud computing center network platform. The PV power plant data acquisition interval as low as one minute, while the 485 bus acquisition equipment, reduces installation and cabling costs. GPRS PV data logger runs logic control, and is said to significantly reduce GPRS traffic costs.
Applications
The system is applicable in a variety of different forms of house-hold photovoltaic power plants, small and medium-sized ground and roof top power plant and large-scale photovoltaic power plants power station type.
Platform
TAOKE have 2 kinds of products, the GPRS photovoltaic data acquisition (TK-G10-01/08/16/08S/16S) and Ethernet photovoltaic data acquisition the (TK-E20-01/08/16/08S/16S/32D), suitable for the demand of different users. The system is compatible with more than 36 global inverter brands and are certified by TUV and FCC.
