XMPro Event Streams Integrating with SAP
The use case is based on a renewable energy provider (solar) that monitors the Performance Ratio* (PR) for a portfolio of solar panel installations and sites. It combines energy output data (OSIsoft PI) with weather web services (sunny, overcast, rain, snow) and additional direct sensor readings on ancillary equipment (temperature, fog, etc.) to create a unique data stream that is consumed by a SAP Hana Predictive Analytics model. If the power output is lower than portfolio threshold, then the objective of the model is to predict the reason (failure mode) why a panel on an installation is not performing as expected (panel malfunctioning or panel dirty, needs cleaning).
If the panel is predicted to be dirty, the panel information is retrieved from SAP ERP to provide contextual information such as customer site, location, etc. Information is sent to SAP HANA for visualization while it is also broadcasted for action. It initiates a Work Order in SAP EAM and a Failure Mode Effect Analysis with a Non-Conformance Report in an XMPro workflow. OSIsoft PI AF is updated with the equipment information.
