Renewable Energy
Measurement and monitoring for wind farms, solar plants and distributed generation: weather variables for operations and generation forecasting, and step-up transformer condition in remote or offshore environments.
Critical assets, distributed across sites where nobody is watching
Renewable generation inverts the logic of the traditional plant: the primary resource is the weather, and the critical assets are no longer concentrated in a machine hall but distributed across remote, hard-to-reach or outright offshore sites. Operating well demands two things at once: measuring the resource — wind, irradiance, surface conditions — with enough quality to feed generation forecasting, and watching the condition of the assets that evacuate that energy, starting with the step-up transformer.
We don't sell isolated sensors: we integrate instrumentation, traceable calibration, telemetry and data intelligence on a single risk-mitigation platform, built for distributed assets that must run unattended.
Weather measurement for operations and forecasting
Farm operations and generation forecasting depend on reliable weather data. AKRIBIS integrates high-precision meteorological instrumentation for wind and solar farms, measurement networks and automatic surface stations.

When the step-up transformer goes out of service, the whole farm stops earning. Online monitoring of dissolved gases, hydrogen, moisture and temperature in the insulating oil turns diagnosis into a continuous trend and enables condition-based maintenance — without waiting for the next laboratory sample.

In distributed assets, the value of a data point depends on the entire chain behind it: the instrument, its calibration, the telemetry that carries it from a remote site and the models that turn it into foresight. AKRIBIS One brings the ecosystem's units together so that chain has no loose links.
