Leading time series monitoring solution manages massive amount of data for Nevada clean energy project to optimize operation
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VictoriaMetrics, open source time-series database and monitoring solution, and energy storage systems integrator IHI Terrasun Solutions today announced their collaboration on one of North America’s largest clean energy projects.
The partnership is set to light up the desert, with the primary solar and storage project covering almost 5,000 acres, and designed to provide clean energy for up to 10% of Nevada’s electricity needs during peak use times. The project reduces annual carbon emissions in the state by 1.5 million tons. VictoriaMetrics’ advanced open source database and monitoring solution plays a pivotal role in optimizing the output from over 1.8 million solar modules and maintaining the battery health of its 1,416 MWh storage system, one of the largest in the world.
To effectively manage the vast amounts of data generated by the solar array and battery storage systems, IHI Terrasun’s solution handles millions of metrics per second with exceptional accuracy and efficiency. Traditional data handling systems were inadequate due to their inability to scale with higher data demand, leaving the data science and data management teams at IHI Terrasun to seek a more advanced solution. After careful evaluation and market search, selecting VictoriaMetrics’ Enterprise solution was the clear choice.
“VictoriaMetrics is an essential part of data management for our work in Nevada. The platform’s ability to handle massive datasets with ease has been invaluable”, explained Larry Kane, SVP of Project and Product Engineering at IHI Terrasun. “We use the data to generate operational insights for maintenance and optimization, which is essential for the health of the project. The VictoriaMetrics team’s resourcefulness and quick response makes them a great partner in this technically challenging endeavor.”
Cost-effective real-time scalability
VictoriaMetrics Enterprise’s advanced architecture and robust features made it the perfect solution for large-scale date intensive energy projects for four reasons:
- Scalability: VictoriaMetrics can handle millions of data points without compromising performance, ensuring that IHI Terrasun’s operations remain efficient and reliable.
- Real-time Insights: The platform provides data for IHI Terrasun’s real-time Assured Insightstm dashboards and monitoring for battery health and grid stability, enabling the team to make informed decisions and optimize field operations.
- Reliability: The solution’s high reliability ensures data integrity from critical systems, even under the most demanding conditions.
- Cost-Effectiveness: VictoriaMetrics offers a scalable and cost-effective solution for large data flows, making it a valuable asset for IHI Terrasun’s Assured Insightstm platform.
“We’re thrilled to see VictoriaMetrics help grow IHI Terrasun’s energy storage operations over the past six years. Our commitment to developing an efficient and scalable solution has been central to VictoriaMetrics’ mission, and we could not have achieved this success without IHI Terrasun’s invaluable feedback on our Enterprise product.” Artem Navoiev, Co-Founder of VictoriaMetrics, stated. “In these times where breaking heat records has become a new normal, I’m glad that solar projects on this scale exist, and that VictoriaMetrics can support them. If we can help reduce CO2 emissions, we’re making a difference. This is a win-win-win for IHI Terrasun, VictoriaMetrics, and ultimately, for the planet.”
A bright future for clean energy
As the Nevada megaproject continues to store clean renewable energy under IHI Terrasun’s stewardship, VictoriaMetrics will remain a vital component of its success. With its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, VictoriaMetrics is well positioned to support IHI Terrasun’s energy storage projects and contribute to a more sustainable future.
