General Electric Digital and Larsen & Toubro Infotech (LTI) will lead a multiphase digital solar plant testbed project at an LTI solar plant in Rajasthan, beginning early next year, according to the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC). The Digital Solar Plant Testbed evaluates solutions to accurately predict energy generation, improve utilization and reduce maintenance costs. The testbed combines GE Digital’s Predix platform with LTI’s solar plant technology, offering real-time data analytics to enable utilities to see how efficiently their plants and systems are working, as well as key performance indicators and forecasting data. “Today’s announcement is another step forward for our industry partners who have been working on this technology since last year,” said Jeff Miller, president of GE Digital, which has partnered with LTI.
