Do you already have a basic monitoring system?

Our Advanced Data Analytics snap on to it. Seamlessly

We deploy a scalable, flexible Analytics layer as cloud solution via optimized data transfer technology, to enrich the analytics scope of your current monitoring software. All of the state-of-the-art, Smart Analytics integral to Quadrical’s Digital Twin based CMMS – available as snap-on plug & play Analytics software. True Condition based Maintenance guidance for your plants, the custom-built Digital Twins improve your plant generation by 2 – 4%, while increasing O&M efficiency by 15%

Truly informed, data-driven decision support, with self-serve Advanced Analytics to build deeper insights.

Open Architecture. Fully Extensible

All your portfolio data in one centralized cloud location – clean, and analysis-ready

Open access to clean data in a cloud based, AI-first Data Lake – so your team simply plugs & plays via your preferred user interface and analysis software e.g. Power BI, Tableau, Jupyter-notebooks etc

Benefits

  • Historical and RealTime data aggregated on a single cloud hub for flexible visualization of any metric across peers & time
  • Plant operating data gathered from all data acquisition systems like SCADA, SMART IoT devices, weather forecast providers etc. is surfaced on the Data platform that updates in RealTime
  • Scalable, flexible deployment of your own data analytics libraries, KPI calculations etc. directly via Tableau, PBI, Python notebooks
  • Fully reliable sets of plant data with improved data quality, for truly informed decision making

Why clean data?

Raw, unprocessed plant data is often riddled with data gaps, missing values, anomalies.

Analysis on these datasets not only yields inaccurate insights that are flawed due to bad data quality, but also costs the asset management team extra time and wasted effort

Our Secret Sauce - Digital Twins

Digital Twins are at the core of Quadrical Solar Asset Management Platform

01

We start by building a detailed digital replica of your plant, by creating and adding up digital twins of each node. The bottom-up addition of yield expectations for each string in RealTime, produces the most accurate estimate of your plant’s generation capacity at any time with unprecedented granularity and accuracy.

02

This means not one Digital Twin, but Twins, Triplets, often 500 Mini Twins for a 50MW Plant.

03

Next, we leverage these special purpose mini twins for identifying and quantifying shading, soiling, insulation, long term degradation, anomalies, due diligence etc. This lets us arrive at the most precise benchmark for your plant.

04

This true Condition based Maintenance guidance, with alerts, are benchmarked to our proprietary Digital Twin baseline. They help you improve plant generation by 2 – 4% and O&M efficiency by 15%

05

Seamlessly integrating with your plants, our cloud-only solution causes zero disruption to your existing systems.

06

We then optimize your asset performance as our Digital Twins learn and adapt to your plant’s inherent characteristics over time. You can call these iterations and their compounding effect stitch-in-time, or daily improvements like the Toyota way. It all means increased profitability today, and better plant monetization even in 2027 and 2034.

We’ve successfully integrated with 10+ cloud APIs/data systems already using out-of-the-box frontend integrations.

Our Clients say...

James V Abraham(Founder and Director - SolarArise)
We worked with Quadrical to build a data platform, consolidating our plant data onto a common schema. Quadrical built out the schema with Al capabilities to help 0&M teams to identify and rectify anomalies, prioritised by revenue impact. There are many players who claim capabilities and tools in Artificial Intelligence, but none have the true depth of technical abilities that Quadrical brings to the table.
Ramesh Kumar Modalavalasa(Business Head - O&M, Vikram Solar)
As we onboarded 25 plants with Quadrical in 45 days, we’ve been impressed with their ability to fully own data quality and connectivity. With advanced Analytics-as-a-Service, we’re already seeing the benefits with insights available for our operations team to identify the plant performance issues and possible breakdowns proactively. I am now confident that this platform has the potential to transform the way we do our operations. Look forward to us optimize our entire 1000MW+ portfolio while monitoring it in near RealTime.
