About
The Bazefield Performance Monitoring product line empowers users to view, customize, and interact with all accessible data in the system, including asset and site level telemetry, key performance indicators (KPIs), and alarms & events. The primary focus of all performance monitoring applications is real-time intelligence, such that an owner or operator of multiple renewable power plants can receive instant intelligence normalized across all makes, models, and technologies. Each application supports all major renewable technologies, including, but not limited to Wind Energy, PV Solar, Energy Storage, and Hydro-electric Power.
Bazefield Performance Monitoring is the base product line offering and is required for any customer of Bazefield. All other product lines (Analytics & Reporting, Operations, Asset Control, and Expert) are built on top of the monitoring platform, and require its applications and backend services to be installed first.
For more information about the standard types of performance monitoring data included in a standard Bazefield configuration, visit the Core Modelling section, which overviews Bazefield standards on shared and vendor specific data. Non-standard data is also supported through Custom Monitoring Solutions. Examples of this include custom data source ingestion, custom calculations or KPIs, or custom alarm configurations.
Primary Use Cases
Common users of the Performance Monitoring Applications include (but are not limited to)
Real Time Operating Centers interested in normalized fleet wide rollups of asset statuses and critical events affecting the larger portfolio
On-site Field Managers & Technicians interested in up to the second site-specific status, production, and alarms
Asset Managers & Performance Engineers interested in basic daily or weekly views of site level key performance indicators.
For use cases surrounding larger time-frame analytics & enterprise level reporting, visit the Analytics & Reporting section.
