Plant output dropped?Know why before sending anyone

Elektron is an AI assistant for solar, wind and geothermal plants. It uses Muse to find the real cause and test the fix first.

Why we built it

We work with electrical engineers and power plants in the Philippines

We keep renewable power plants running on regions across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Every day, something drops.
And we have to find out why.

A drop like this has three possible causes

A failing inverter

Clouds or rain

A sensor that went quiet

On a chart, they all look the same. Pick one to read the evidence.

Read the evidence

One unit falls behind its neighbors

An inverter turns a solar panel’s electricity into power the grid can use. Here, one inverter is running hot and its controller limits output, while neighboring units keep producing.

Next stepInvestigate this unit

Check temperature, the controller event and neighboring output. Inspect the cooling system before deciding on maintenance.

The simulation confirms a power-limiting event. It does not establish the physical cause of the overheating.

kW describes the rate of power production. Energy is that power accumulated over time.

Guess wrong, and a crew drives hours to a site where nothing is broken.

Investigate cause

The alert: INV-07 is making half the power of the inverters next to it. Same sun, same panels.

Take it apart in 3D, and find the part that's running hot

Before we send anyone,
we test the fix

Cooling it down for 30 minutes costs 0.156 MWh. The test runs on a copy. Live data stays untouched.

Not every drop is a fault

Rain drops output too. Muse checks the weather first. Not a fault
