Industrial Data Logging

Field data logging for the trial

This page explains how we record data for the field trial described in our ARENA submission. It also explains who can see that data.

What we log

DataTypical contentHow often
ElectricalAC and DC power, energy, voltage and current for the trial array and a reference arrayEvery 1 to 15 minutes from the logger
Site conditionsIrradiance, module temperature and ambient temperatureSame interval as the electrical data
Manual readingsMeter readings taken on site, with a note on who read themAt each site visit
PhotosDated photos of the installation, the meters and site conditionsAt each site visit, and after any event

How it gets in

The site data logger sends readings to Webdoli over HTTPS. Each logger has its own key, and we can switch a key off at any time. Site staff can also type in readings, import CSV files from the logger, and upload photos from a phone.

We store all times in UTC and show them in the local time of the site. If a photo carries a camera time and GPS position, we keep both.

How we keep the record honest

No one can edit or delete an entry through the platform. If a reading is wrong, an administrator voids it and gives a reason. The voided entry stays on record and appears in full downloads.

Every entry shows who logged it and how it arrived. Every photo gets a SHA-256 fingerprint when it is uploaded. Anyone holding a downloaded photo can recompute that fingerprint and compare it with the photo register.

Who can see the data

The trial data is not public. It sits behind a login. ARENA assessors and project partners get named accounts. Most accounts can view and download data but cannot add to it. Only the site team can log new entries.
