Nevados’ integrated TRACE (Tracker Rotation Angle Control Engine) controls platform enables seamless and autonomous operation of solar power plants.
Back-tracked rotation schedules — calculated with Nevados’ patent-pending ray-tracing engine — eliminate row-to-row shading around the clock. TRACE utilizes a 3D model of the solar site to determine optimal tracking schedules before construction even begins, allowing for more accurate predictive energy modeling. Weather sensors respond to real-time changes in weather conditions, stowing and altering row rotations as needed.
As part of Nevados’ complete tracking platform, TRACE provides a reliable, versatile, hands-off solution that maximizes energy production. No other system compares.
Row-by-row control and optimization
Aruna enables individual row tracking to eliminate inter-row shadows. Each row can independently react to localized environmental conditions, such as flooding, allowing some rows to stow while others continue normal operations. Using our current sensor, underperforming strings can be quickly identified to minimize loss of power generation.
Control on-premise or securely from the cloud
Site data can be accessed locally, or remotely through a secure cloud connection. The Nevados zone controllers provide an intuitive and easy-to-use web UI, or they can be integrated into an existing SCADA system.
Self Powered and Wireless Communication
Each tracker row utilizes a self powered row controller and communicates with its Zone Controller wirelessly.
This eliminates the need for any power controls wiring to tracker rows.
