Basic: influx database

It is essential for us to store solar and wind farm data efficiently and effectively. For this purpose, we use influx databases.

An influx database is a type of database designed for storing and managing time series data. This type of database is particularly suitable for storing data that changes over time and needs to be analyzed to identify trends and patterns. In the case of solar and wind farms, this is the data collected by our meters.

The efficiency of influx databases comes from the fact that they are optimized for storing large amounts of data collected over time. By using special compression techniques and advanced query and indexing technologies, influx databases can store large amounts of data yet remain quickly accessible for analysis.

In addition, influx databases are able to store data in a way that is scalable. This means that the database can adapt to the amount of data being collected. As the amount of data increases, the database can easily be expanded to accommodate the growing amount of data.

For our company, using influx databases is critical to efficiently store and manage solar and wind farm data. This allows us to quickly and effectively identify trends and patterns in the data we collect, which helps us to increase the transmission capacity of power grids and support the energy transition.
