ABB is a well-known international technology manufacturer of dataloggers and inverters. The massive energy and technology company ABB has finished selling off its solar inverter division.

The ABB/Fimer VSN700 data logger and the PVS-100/120-TL type inverter are completely compatible with Seven Sensor’s weather station.

What are the components of ABB Fimer Weather Station?

Similar to the other SEVEN weather stations, the ABB Weather Station’s irradiance sensor is directly connected to the datalogger/inverter via Modbus RTU Protocol, while the other sensors are attached to the irradiance sensor box. The Module Temperature Sensor, Ambient Temperature Sensor, Wind Speed Sensor, and Wind Direction Sensor are additional sensors that can be linked to the irradiance sensor.

  • PV Pyranometer or Irradiance Sensor is one of several sensors used in solar power plants to monitor and evaluate photovoltaic systems. It is used to measure the irradiation value to compare it with the amount of energy produced, and to understand when there are serious deviations. The irradiation sensor measures the amount of radiation received from the sun in W/m².
  • Ambient Temperature Sensor is used to detect the change in temperature in the environment. This sensor displays the value of the ambient temperature in degrees Celsius (° C).
  • Module Temperature Sensor is the sensor used to detect the temperature values of the modules, which offers an economical solution for solar power plants and universal applications. The temperature that occurs in the panel can vary considerably depending on the ambient temperature, so the Module Temperature Sensor is used to analyze this data. It measures the temperature value of the panel in (° C).
  • Wind speed sensor is used to measure wind speed in solar power plants, also known as anemometer, and provides data to the VSN700. It measures the wind speed in m/s.
  • The Wind Direction Sensor, is used to measure wind direction in the PV Plant and provides the data to the Datalogger in degree °.

What is the ABB/Fimer’s Monitoring Platform?

The SunSpec-compliant ABB/Fimer datalogger serves as an Internet gateway to safely and dependably transmit data to the Aurora Vision® from inverters, energy meters, weather stations, and other compatible solar plant devices. In order to offer remote condition monitoring, operations, and maintenance services, solar customers can link their commercial, industrial, and large-scale PV systems to the Aurora Vision cloud using ABB/Fimer’s VSN700 data management system.

Customers may control their PV plants remotely with Aurora Vision, a scalable web-based platform that also provides an online gateway for system data monitoring and visualization. Thanks to this platform, SEVEN Sensors connected to Fimer inverters have many dashboard views that allow monitoring of field system data, reporting, data analysis, system performance, and asset management.
