Kavaken, Turkey — Turning Renewable Energy Data into Operational Intelligence
Mission
Drive the transition to a greener, more efficient renewable energy ecosystem by unlocking operational insights from asset data using advanced artificial intelligence — empowering owners and operators to maximise production, reduce downtime, and improve financial performance.
Context
Renewable energy assets — like wind turbines and solar farms — generate vast amounts of operational data, yet much of this data remains under-utilised. Without real-time analytical tools, plant operators face revenue loss from unplanned downtime, inaccurate forecasting, and suboptimal performance. Kavaken addresses this gap by offering a data-centric AI SaaS platform that turns raw operational data into actionable insights, improving efficiency and revenue outcomes without the need for additional hardware or complex systems.
AI Asset
Kavaken Platform is a modular SaaS solution that leverages AI and machine learning to optimise renewable energy asset performance:
-
Predictive Maintenance: Identifies potential component failures early using anomaly detection and data signals to minimise downtime.
-
Forecast+: Improves day-ahead and intraday production forecasts using ensemble AI models for increased accuracy and reduced balancing costs.
-
Power Booster: Analyses and enhances power curves to ensure turbines operate at peak output.
-
Revenue Cockpit: Central dashboard tracking critical business metrics and highlighting revenue loss drivers.
-
Outage Tracking and Automation: Automates classification of outages and operational reports for better contractual and maintenance visibility.
These intelligent modules work together to help asset owners make better decisions, reduce manual effort, and maximise energy production and profitability.
