DNV has integrated its wind and solar data management platforms Resource Panorama and GPM Horizon to strengthen data traceability for renewable energy project bankability.
The company said the integration helps developers manage growing volumes of information as lenders increase scrutiny of pre-construction measurement data.
DNV added that errors or gaps in measurement data can delay financing, increase the cost of capital or undermine a bankability review.
The integration combines Resource Panorama, DNV’s meteorological data platform, with GPM Horizon, the asset management system operated by GreenPowerMonitor, a DNV company.
The platform automates equipment monitoring and applies DNV’s data quality algorithms across wind and solar projects.
It tracks sensor performance, communications links and power systems in real time and flags faults as they occur.
Each dataset is then reviewed by analysts before release, creating a traceable record from field instrument to project file.
“Developers must move quickly, but they cannot compromise on data quality,” said Juan Carlos Arévalo, executive vice-president, GPM&S – Digital & Data Solutions, Energy Systems at DNV.
“These remote monitoring and asset management tools already process 10 billion data points every second.
“By unifying these platforms, we provide a single source of validated data that developers can present to lenders with confidence.”
The integration now covers the full project life-cycle and aligns DNV’s digital and advisory services with data workflows used in project development.
Resource Panorama was first introduced in 2010 and supports data management from early site investigation through commercial operation.
