Remote monitoring of Hybrid Solar/Wind/Diesel power installations

Often in developing countries, local stand-alone power systems are often more cost-effective than large utility grid extensions.

Various combinations of wind turbine generators, solar arrays, diesel gensets, and backup power batteries, means hybrid power systems present a more energy/cost efficient solution to diesel-only systems.

What can you do with Netbiter?

Monitor health and readiness

Connect and remotely monitor all the elements of your hybrid power setup from any location 24/7. Monitor the power generation from your Wind /Solar equipment, monitor your diesel levels and battery power status.

Remote operation and control

Avoid expensive and timely emergency/maintenance call-outs by remotely controlling the connected equipment. Start-stop your equipment, test or engage the generator and battery systems to keep your station online.

Alarm management

Immediately detect if values reach certain levels (diesel/battery power). Direct alarms to service personnel via SMS or email. Connect to perimeter security systems to geo-fence your installation. Avoid unnecessary traveling!

Multi-site management

Connect and deploy the Netbiter Remote Monitoring System to multiple sites and manage from a single location. Add users and permit access to your system.

How it works:

Connecting to the power station

A Netbiter communication gateway connects with the different power system elements (solar, wind, genset, battery) using a serial, Ethernet or I/O connection. The gateway the exchanges the data via the Internet or the cellular network (GSM/GPRS/3G) to the cloud-based Netbiter Argos IOT platform where you manage your power installation.

The data that is exchanged is encrypted both to and from the Netbiter Argos IOT platform.

Online access

Netbiter Argos is a complete IOT cloud-based platform where all data from your field equipment is securely accessed and stored. You are presented with a host of remote management features enabling you to visualize, monitor, manage and control your remote sites and equipment 24/7 by simply logging on to Netbiter Argos at www.netbiter.net, from your Laptop, Tablet or Smartphone.

Best of all, Netbiter Argos is included with the purchase of a Netbiter EC300-series gateway. Its a fully flexible and scalable solution.
