Recently, the intelligent information management system for photovoltaic power plants, developed jointly by the General Institute of Hydroelectric Water Conservancy Planning and Design, China Power Investment Group's Yellow River Upstream Development Co., Ltd., and Beijing Mulian Energy Software Technology Co., Ltd., was officially announced. This innovative platform marks a significant step forward in the digitalization and intelligent management of solar energy projects across China.
Photovoltaic Power Station Management Is Becoming More Transparent
The system offers real-time online monitoring of photovoltaic power stations and advanced analysis of key performance indicators such as operational efficiency and failure rates of critical equipment. As the first comprehensive digital platform for managing solar farms in China, it has already been successfully implemented at several major projects, including the 20MWp Phase I Project in Qinghai Province, the 50MWp Wulan project, and the 10MWp Sangri project in Tibet.
"This system not only provides smart and efficient data processing for on-site workers but also supports decision-making for enterprises and government bodies in project management and policy development," said Wang Minhao, executive deputy director of the General Institute of Hydroelectric Water Conservancy Planning and Design and director of the National Wind Power Information Management Center.
Enhancing Rapid Information Processing in Solar Farms
The intelligent management system includes modules such as production and operation management, data acquisition software, identification coding, KKS coding rules, and performance index systems. These tools help streamline operations and improve maintenance efficiency, especially for large-scale solar farms with complex components and varying equipment standards.
Xie Xiaoping, general manager of the Upper Yellow River Hydropower Development Co., Ltd., noted that the complexity of large solar farms requires more skilled personnel for operation and maintenance. "The system enables remote monitoring of inverters, fault detection, and root-cause analysis through visual indicators, significantly improving response times and reducing downtime," he explained.
Optimizing Plant Operations and Decision-Making
The system’s practical application has provided valuable data for evaluating design effectiveness, component performance, and inverter efficiency. For example, at the Golmud PV plant, actual performance closely matched design expectations, confirming the reliability of engineering models and highlighting areas for improvement.
Experts believe the system enhances data-driven decision-making, improves business processes, and supports industry-wide standardization. It also helps distinguish between project boundaries and system performance, promoting better transparency and accountability.
Promoting Sustainable Growth in the Solar Industry
With China aiming to reach 21GW of solar capacity by 2015 under its "12th Five-Year Plan," the need for standardized practices and quality control is more critical than ever. The new information system plays a vital role in ensuring accurate performance evaluation and fostering healthy competition among manufacturers.
"By using transparent data to assess module performance, the system encourages innovation and ensures that only high-quality products succeed in the market," said Wang Minhao. He added that the system will support national efforts to establish a reliable solar resource network, helping to optimize future solar projects nationwide.
