ID-Aurora is a robust and intuitive software package developed by Ideematec. It empowers users to control their tracker system manually and automatically. Utilizing simple data points such as longitude, latitude, and time of day, ID-Aurora accurately positions all trackers to maximize plant output. It leverages intelligent backtracking algorithms to avoid PV panel shading from sunrise to sunset. To ensure the safest possible operation of the system, wind and weather data are constantly monitored and will always override all other operations to protect your investment.
ID-Aurora automatically logs errors and warnings, providing clear notifications to maintenance staff via a dedicated browser window while recording the error log to the local workstation for safekeeping. When an escalation of the error is required, ID-Aurora can send a notification email to any specified address to ensure the right people have the correct information when they need it most. ID-Aurora handles all monitoring and error notifications using robust and reliable Modbus TCP/IP communications architecture. It facilitates seamless tracker control and integration into external new or existing SCADA systems.
Based on the calculated position of the sun, ID-Aurora sends set position commands to the tracker controller via the wireless bus system. The tracker controllers are monitored by reading the controller's status and tracker-specific safety sensors via the bus system. Depending on the sensor box sensor readings and the safe position inputs, the tracker controllers receive safe position commands from Aurora. A graphical display of the current tracker position and its range of motion enables the user to easily compare the correct alignment of the trackers on site.
ID-Aurora, built for efficiency and intuitiveness, is truly the next generation of solar tracking software.
