ORUGA® is the most advanced tool on the market for designing the most profitable photovoltaic plant on a given site, demonstrating its true potential on difficult plots with complex orography. Through this tool, Sener experts offer advanced engineering services within the solar energy sector. 

ORUGA® software is capable of accurately calculating both the costs involved in construction and operations, as well as the power production from thousands of implementations within one plot of land.The most profitable one will be selected, thanks to its advanced algorithm for optimization of civil works and plant performance (with or without 3D Backtracking).

ORUGA® enables you to analyze different combinations of modules, trackers or fixed structures, inverters, and storage systems, depending on the market situation at any time and the needs of your project.  

The use of this software, designed entirely by Sener, will provide you with realistic, in-depth knowledge of your case study and will improve the profitability of your photovoltaic project during the operational, design and development phases. 

ORUGA® is already helping many companies in the photovoltaic sector, being in complicated orographies where it is essential. In operating plants, it is possible to easily implement a 3D Backtracking strategy to increase annual electricity production.

3D Backtracking

FEATURES

  • Implementation module: calculates the optimal implementation depending on the civil works and the production of each tracker.
  • Performance module: can accurately calculate plant production, improving the market benchmark software. 
  • Battery modules: it makes it possible to study energy storage solutions.
  • Cost module: equipped with a parts catalog and their associated prices that are updated depending on the market. 

WHAT ORUGA® DOES 

  • It allows a cost-effective plant design, accurately considering the cost of civil works for the plant and the minimum height of pillars, as well as the annual electrical production. This is done for the thousands of possible implementation alternatives within a plot.
  • It can make accurate calculation of the plant production, improving the reference software on the market. This has been certified by a Technical Advisor
  • Advanced algorithm for the optimization of civil works
  • Advanced algorithm for 3D backtracking
  • Capable of integration into a building information model (BIM) environment for launching the digitization of energy asset management.
