Veolia, a world benchmark in optimized resource management, has incorporated solar panels to feed the energy consumption of its Hubgrade Solar and thus isolate it from the electrical grid. This improvement, which allows the system to generate its own electricity for self-sufficiency, demonstrates Veolia's desire for innovation and the constant search for environmentally sustainable solutions based on renewable energies. The Hubgrade is Veolia's energy management center that allows controlling, analyzing and solving incidents in the facilities of different clients remotely and in real time. From its headquarters in Ontinyent, in Valencia, Veolia's Hubgrade Solar controls more than 50 photovoltaic installations distributed throughout Spain, with a total volume of 121.55 MW, in addition to all the consumption integrated in them (water, electricity, gas , etc.). In 2017, the total energy production of the plants managed by Hubgrade Solar was around 218,000 MWh. In addition, Spain collaborates in the execution of projects in other countries such as Morocco, Argentina or France since this type of Hubgrade, specialized in photovoltaic solar energy, is unique in Veolia. " This system allows us to optimize the performance of the solar plants that we manage so that they can optimize energy production while reducing CO 2 emissions that are emitted into the environment, " says Juan Miguel Calabuig, delegate of Veolia Solar . The Hubgrade Solar provides monitoring, assistance, remote management and advisory services 365 days a year, allowing decisions to be made and possible incidents resolved quickly and easily thanks to the global vision of the facilities in real time. Hubgrade Solar has a multidisciplinary team made up of collaborators specialized in various areas, who work together to achieve improvement and efficiency objectives. The monitoring analyst profile is responsible for the daily supervision of the data acquisition systems, as well as dealing with incidents and assigning work orders to technicians. In turn, the equipment analyst monitors and analyzes the performance objectives of the plants. On the other hand, the person in charge of remote management is in charge of guaranteeing the correct acquisition of the data of the equipment of the different plants. The team is completed with collaborators who are in charge of audits, scheduling of scorecards and administration. Success story: Jumilla, Murcia Veolia began managing the Jumilla plant in Murcia in 2013. It is a 23MWp plant with an annual production of 43,000MWh. Among the novelties that Veolia proposed at its entrance, the monitoring of all the elements of the plant through the Hubgrade Solar stands out, as well as the air conditioning of the cabins to correct the high temperatures that were occurring. With these improvements, it was possible to reduce breakdown detection time, optimize plant performance and reduce corrective costs by 60%. In just two years, Veolia managed to increase the performance of the Jumilla plant from 78.61% in 2013 to 82%. Hubgrade Network This Hubgrade Solar is integrated into a Hubgrade network. In Spain, Veolia has three other Hubgrades located in Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao. Through this network of centers, with which they manage in real time more than 2,000 installations, Veolia contributes the knowledge of its experts in energy management, guaranteeing its clients the optimization of their energy consumption with the consequent economic savings and the reduction of emissions of CO 2 . Veolia's Hubgrade network has a multidisciplinary team made up of 300 collaborators specialized in various areas who work together to achieve improvement and efficiency objectives, as well as a technology to achieve their commitments. In this way, Veolia offers its customers pioneering technological support in Spain. Site Map Legal warning Credit Accessibility General conditions of purchase Glossary Privacy Policy © 2019 Veolia
