These attributes are key to achieving effective Big Data integration and meeting new cybersecurity regulations. Our innovative digital solutions, including Trina Smart Cloud, SuperTrack, and our new TCUs (Tracking Control Units), are built with a holistic approach that prioritises advanced usability, cutting-edge data analysis, and robust security measures. This ensures that our Smart Control System Solution consistently delivers the high performance, high efficiency, and high reliability required for optimal operation and secure management.

Evolution in Design and R&D: Usability as the Key to Efficient Management

Our design and R&D departments have been instrumental in developing a new user interface that emphasises usability and efficiency for our SCADA system, Trina Smart Cloud. Through comprehensive studies and detailed analyses of various user profiles across different photovoltaic plant projects, we have created an interface that not only enhances accessibility and operational efficiency but also facilitates effective Big Data integration. This evolution is driven by a deep understanding of operators' needs and the ability to tailor our solutions to their specific requirements.

Trina Smart Cloud: Optimising Tracker Performance with High Efficiency and Ease of Use

Trina Smart Cloud is one of the keys to our digital solution, designed to optimise tracker performance and operational efficiency while minimising maintenance costs. The platform enables operators to monitor real-time tracker information and operational status, allowing for proactive adjustments that enhance system efficiency and reliability.

Reflecting our user-centred design approach, Trina Smart Cloud offers an intuitive interface that supports advanced analytics, powered by data from the new TCUs. This enables informed decision-making and efficient plant management. Additionally, the new platform includes new [LW E4S1]?functions such as 3D Digital Map, further enhancing its capabilities. Trina Smart Cloud simplifies the management of large volumes of data and ensures compliance with the latest cybersecurity regulations, delivering a solution that is both high-performing and highly efficient.

SuperTrack: Maximising Energy Generation with High Performance and Precise Data

SuperTrack by TrinaTracker is engineered to deliver high performance by maximising energy production, achieving up to an 8% increase in plant generation, particularly on days with lower solar irradiation. SuperTrack leverages real-time data from Trina Smart Cloud to automatically adjust the angle and positioning of the company's solar tracking systems, optimising light capture and boosting energy generation.

These optimisations are made possible thanks to the advanced intelligence of SuperTrack. Utilising terrain data and power generation data, this automated system not only enhances performance but also reduces the need for manual intervention so that operators are free to focus on data interpretation and continuous performance improvements. The ability of SuperTrack to process and analyse large volumes of real-time data is crucial for maximising efficiency and maintaining the highest security standards, ensuring that SuperTrack consistently delivers superior results.

New TCUs: Innovation, High Reliability, and Security in Plant Control

The new TCUs from TrinaTracker represent a significant leap forward in control technology. These units are designed for high reliability, delivering robust performance with advanced features like strong wind protection mode and manual snow removal mode, which ensure consistent operation under challenging conditions. With high power output, the TCUs can quickly react to dynamic weather situations, safeguarding the tracker and optimising performance.

In addition to high efficiency and easy installation, the TCUs are built to meet stringent security requirements in compliance with the latest cybersecurity regulations. Seamless integration with Trina Smart Cloud and SuperTrack guarantees secure and effective communication, enabling precise management and comprehensive data protection.

The Impact of Usability and Big Data on Plant Management

The new user interface and usability improvements have had a significant impact on photovoltaic plant management. Operators can now make adjustments and configurations more quickly and accurately, optimising performance and increasing energy production. Effective Big Data integration allows for deeper analysis and more informed decision-making. Additionally, compliance with the new cybersecurity regulations ensures that data is managed securely, protecting both the integrity of the information and user privacy.
