Data Acquisition System Clause Samples

Data Acquisition System. During the Term, Host Customer shall make available to System Owner broadband internet access at the Premises necessary for System Owner’s equipment to continuously monitor the System’s performance.

Data Acquisition System. Host Customer shall make available to System Owner during the Construction Period (as necessary), the Service Term and Extension Period, broadband internet access (CAT 5 or wireless) at the Delivery Point necessary for System Owner's equipment to continuously monitor the System performance, which equipment shall include a data acquisition system to monitor and meter System performance on a real time basis. Such internet access may be moved within the Premises by the Host Customer upon prior notice to System Owner.

Data Acquisition System. DAS") and kWh Meters 73. The Data Acquisition System shall be the Sunlight General Capital variant of the Deck Monitoring system, and shall be procured by Owner for installation by Contractor. 74. For Sites containing multiple discrete SGF’s, multiple Data Acquisition Systems may be required in accordance with the Owner‐Furnished Engineering designs. Further, for sites with arrays at multiple tilts and/or azimuths, a separate weather station shall be provided for each tilt or azimuth in accordance with the Owner‐Furnished Engineering designs. 75. Each DAS shall include a datalogger ("All‐in‐One" box), kWh meter (billing meter), and environmental monitoring instrumentation as follows: i. A plane‐of‐array pyranometer. ii. A horizontal pyranometer iii. An ambient temperature sensor iv. A back‐of‐module temperature sensor Pyranometers shall be manufactured by Hukseflux, and shall be the LP02 device. 76. Each DAS shall include Modbus communications with its associated inverters and kWh meters. 77. Each DAS shall include a minimum 72 hour backup battery, and a minimum 30 day first in‐first out (FIFO) removable data storage device. 78. The datalogger shall be mounted in a location where it is protected from direct sunlight. 79. Contractor is responsible for the supply and installation of each DAS, and for the coordination, supply and installation of internet connection hardware and software through the Local Unit local area network and internet access firewall. Internet access shall be by means of hard‐wired communications infrastructure. For TCP/IP data communication runs whose length exceeds the 300ft distance limit recommended for CAT 5/CAT 6 copper‐based wiring, optical fiber communications wiring shall be installed which shall be run within innerduct and in conduit throughout. 80. RS‐485 cabling shall be selected based upon the service. This shall include, as specifically applicable:  120 Ohm characteristic impedance.  UL Listed  Specifically listed for RS‐485 communications  Wet rated for all RS‐485 runs that are outdoor and exposed, or for all runs that are located underground.  There shall be a separate, insulated, ground reference conductor, which shall be terminated at both ends of each RS‐485 run.  There shall be a separate shield and drain conductor, which shall be terminated at one location only for the entire RS‐485 system.  High‐temperature (75 degC minimum) rated for all runs that are located on rooftops.  Insulation rating shall be approp...

Data Acquisition System. It is the intent of NYSERDA and DOE to provide system-level operation and performance information, including economic performance, to the general public on this demonstration. In order to meet this objective, the Contractor shall integrate sufficient instrumentation and data transmittal capabilities into the demonstration. To facilitate the collection and analysis of this data, the DOE has identified a Data Management Contractor who will remotely download data from the demonstration, compile the data, and provide analyses of system performance to NYSERDA and DOE. The Data Management Contractor and Sandia National Laboratories shall work closely with the Contractor for the collection and analysis of system performance data. In addition, the Data Management Contractor shall collect, analyze, and report on the economic data collected at the demonstration site. NYSERDA and DOE may obtain sensitive economic and operational data for internal analytical purposes, but will protect it from public access and will not release the data without the approval of project participants. The FESS shall include a Data Acquisition System (DAS) to monitor and document system operation data. Data acquisition rates shall be adequate to monitor and provide sampling rates on the order of micro-seconds in order to adequately characterize the frequency regulation application. The Contractor shall archive and protect from loss on permanent media all raw and summary data collected at the project site. Real-time data storage systems shall be employed that can accommodate at least 365 days of operation. Additionally, secure communications capabilities shall be provided for remote access and uploading of daily operational data to a central collection site. DOE shall provide the central data collection site and data analysis activities under a separate contract. The Contractor shall provide the NYSERDA and DOE Project Managers the DAS hardware and software plans, flowcharts, and operating manuals at the final system Design review, prior to the initiation of the FESS demonstration and the associated DAS.
