Invenergy Services, the operations, asset management, and energy management affiliate of Invenergy, and Bazefield have partnered on a digital platform that will increase efficiency and improve customer experience for wind, solar, and storage asset owners, a global portfolio that is expected to top 25-gigawatts by 2025.
Understanding whether your investments in solar assets actually perform as planned is critical to managing overall energy yields and ensuring a return on investment. To make sure our customers always know whether their solar plants and assets are performing, we’re excited to announce that Bazefield Advanced Analytics now integrates with PlantPredict’s solar modeling software.
With the recent cyber-attacks such as Solarwinds, Colonial Pipeline and JBS meats it is becoming apparent that all companies need to do more to protect customers and company information.
Bazefield is deeply committed to the security of our customers data therefore Bazefield decided to become ISO/IEC 27001 certified to demonstrate that we have identified risks, assessed implications, and put in place systematic controls to limit any damage to our organisation and to our customers data. With the ISO/IEC 27001 certification we have implemented a comprehensive set of standard requirements for our Information Security Management System (ISMS). These standards are designed to adopt a process that relies on establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, maintaining, and improving our ISMS.
Trianel Onshore Windkraftwerke GmbH & Co. KG (TOW) have contracted EnOS Bazefield as Asset Management Software for currently 37 wind and 15 solar sites in Germany with a total capacity for 601 MW onshore, which is currently under their operation for the Trianel Network. The system shall support digitization of their operations and asset management. The system shall be fully rolled out within Q4 this year.
In our previous articles and video series, we covered the challenges organizations face during the implementation of operations management software, and the problems caused by improper data integration. Too often, organizations get wooed by fancy marketing, reports, and data visualizations, and fail to focus on the foundational issue behind it all: the robustness and methodology behind data integration. If you don’t start with integrating the correct data from the correct sources, your reports will never be right. That being said, let’s say you’ve solved the data integration problem (or you’ve just bought EnOS Bazefield, and you’re going to let us fix it for you).
Congratulations!
What’s next?
Bazefield has been helping clients reduce CO2 emissions equivalent to more than a million-ton through increased efficiency of their renewable generation’s plants. Bazefield has now taken it upon themselves to commit 100% to a net-zero emission future. In addition to Bazefield's already remarkable 98% green renewable energy supply, Bazefield's HQ's entire roof will be covered with solar panels that will produce an estimated 64,000 KWh a year. This output will power Bazefield's servers, charge employees’ electric cars and much more.

Implementing new software can be as easy as downloading an app on your phone. What gives with Enterprise Software? Why does it seem like great software ideas die on the vine or get underutilized?
Of course, its easy to toss one of these diagrams up and call it a day. Have a solid product, know how to get the data you need to make it work. Maybe a couple of nice bubbles steps you need to go through before its saving your company millions if not billions, right?
Asset Manager: My report’s wrong, can you fix it please?
Engineer: I see we missed a lot of data this month. IT, what is going on?

In our previous article (read here), I have to admit, I went on a little bit of a rant. 10 months straight working from home can make you a little cranky. My main thesis was that there has been an unfortunate trend in renewables to produce and market software that, to put it so bluntly, doesn’t actually do anything useful. As a result, organizations have prioritized accumulating software with lots of marketing promises and buzzwords over truly adopting software that actually works. In reddit-speak, it’s akin to YOLOing and buying 10,000 Dogecoins instead of one tried and true share of Tesla**
Fun? Definitely. Strategy for success? Probably not.*

Seriously. The next article I open with some PhD turned business developer telling me how “next generation AI can optimize my operations,” I’m going to throw my keyboard across the room.. In fact, I’m going to instantly down vote any renewables article whose title contains one or more of the following phrases:
