How remote monitoring technologies can improve sustainability

As we progress toward net zero, the importance of sustainability in power generation cannot be understated. Indeed, greener upgrades are no longer optional, and it’s vital that sustainability is factored into projects.

And that’s where remote monitoring can make a big impact. From small-scale events to complex operations, remote generator monitoring can play a crucial part in lowering a project’s carbon footprint, and helping you stay ahead of your sustainability targets.

What is remote monitoring?

Effectively, remote monitoring allows for 24/7 oversight of a generator, monitoring everything from mechanical faults, electrical trips, and, most importantly, fuel levels.

Think of remote monitoring as uninterrupted surveillance of a generator, able to identify and address faults as they arise; either fixing remotely or dispatching an expert to investigate.  

Using innovative, intuitive remote equipment monitoring is, of course, essential to disruption-free operation, but it can have a striking impact on the sustainability of a project. 

How can remote monitoring improve sustainability?

And so, how can remote generator monitoring improve sustainability? 

And the answer? By using cutting-edge remote monitoring technology, it is possible to obtain a round-the-clock picture of a generator’s fuel usage, virtually eliminating wastage, thereby dramatically lowering a unit’s carbon footprint.

You see, remote monitoring technologies are highly intuitive, and lightning quick in their functionality; meaning you can attain a constant real-time picture of any given generator. Practically, this allows for granular observation of a generator’s fuel levels.

In developing this real-time picture, it’s then possible to adjust fuel levels according to a project’s need at a specific time, meaning you can address any fuel wastage at the source and tweak the supply accordingly. 

In doing this, it’s possible to ensure that generator’s use only the fuel they need, allowing for a greener – not to mention cheaper – project. 

This type of oversight is particularly important on larger scale projects, where it’s easy to lose track of individual units. Remote monitoring means that it’s possible to oversee each individual generator from a central location, with tweaks and adjustments to fuel levels made in real-time. 

As such, remote monitoring serves as a valuable tool in the lowering the carbon footprint of projects as we strive for greater levels of sustainability across a range of projects. 

How HVO drop-in fuels can further reduce your carbon footprint?

It’s important to strategise for greener projects. And remote monitoring is an excellent means by which to improve sustainability. 

But the best strategies are multi-faceted. And so, by utilising remote monitoring in addition to, for example, our innovative stage V generators and HVO drop-in fuel, you can take a great stride toward your sustainability goals.  

So, if you’re currently seeking ways to lower the carbon footprint of your project or business, consider factoring remote monitoring services into your plan. 

Intelligent, innovative and overseen by highly knowledgeable industry experts, remote monitoring offers:

• 24/7 oversight of fuel levels
• Ability to remote tweak for peak/reduced performance times
• Real-time picture of any fuel wastage and inefficiencies

And so, by offering such detailed oversight, generator remote monitoring and control can actively impact the carbon footprint of your project without sacrificing a moment of productivity.
