Weather Forecasting to Optimize Photovoltaic Installations in Water Pumping Systems

Innovative digital platform aimed at maximizing efficiency in the use of solar energy

An innovative digital platform oriented towards efficiency in the utilization of solar energy production linked to water infrastructure. This system provides intelligent decision-making support for operators by managing the installations in an automatic and autonomous manner, selecting optimal operating periods for water pumps based on weather predictions.

Weather Forecasting to Optimize Photovoltaic Installations in Water Pumping Systems
Adasa Systems, an integrative engineering firm in the digitalization of the entire water cycle and a part of the Skion Water group, has developed for Aqlara, an innovative digital platform to assist in the management of photovoltaic installations, aimed at enhancing the efficiency in the utilization of solar energy production linked to water infrastructures.

The platform optimizes the operation of water pumping facilities equipped with solar panels by allowing precise prediction of solar radiation. This tool is an intelligent decision-making support system for operators, managing the installations in an automated and autonomous way, choosing the best periods for operation based on the prediction of this irradiance.

Thus, it will improve efficiency and energy optimization of the production of the facilities, adjusting the strategy of the water pumps according to the forecasted weather conditions. It will also impact sustainability by reducing energy waste, electrical consumption, and therefore, the electric bill of the system.

It is important to highlight the strategic significance of this initiative for technological development in the water and energy sector, where the collaboration between AQLARA and Adasa Systems shows a desire to participate in projects optimizing processes and managing infrastructures based on the digitalization of the entire water cycle.

Adasa consolidates its commitment to adding value in the fields of water, meteorology, and the environment, driving digital solutions that contribute to smarter and more efficient use of the water-energy nexus, and advancing towards environmental sustainability.
