First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) Launches New Global Power Plant Operations Center

First Solar is a leading global provider of photovoltaic (PV) solar systems which use its advanced thin-film modules. The company’s integrated power plant solutions deliver an economically attractive alternative to electricity generated from the burning of fossil fuels.

The company announced today the launch of its new, industry-leading global operations center. It is a centralized monitoring and control center where power plants in First Solar’s operations and maintenance program can be monitored, operated, and connected to utility and customer networks. It combines its power prediction and analytical capabilities with its advanced diagnostics and plant controls in order to maximize power output and minimize maintenance costs for customers.

A key feature of First Solar’s power plant design is its advanced plant controls, which are critical for managing grid reliability and stability and can be controlled remotely from the new operations center. This center collects and processes a wide range of real-time power plant data, including electrical performance, equipment status, and weather conditions, which are all monitored and analyzed against key performance and operational parameters. This is an important point. Predictability and reliability have become increasingly critical to utilities and grid operators as more and more large-scale renewable power plants have become connected to the grid.
