Guidance for Renewables Data Lake and Analytics on AWS
Overview
How it works
Part 1
This diagram shows different scenarios for renewable energy operators to consider when ingesting data from different edge configurations, such as supervisory control and data acquisitions (SCADAs) and legacy applications. The configurations or applications communicate data over a secure virtual private network (VPN) connection to an AWS internet of things (IoT) connectivity solution.

Part 2
The AWS IoT connectivity solution can help operators build a modern, complete, edge-to-cloud solution to ingest near real-time data from renewable assets such as wind turbines, solar farms, and hydro dams. An industrial IoT data lake is created where advanced analytics can be performed. Operators can derive insights from their asset data by using machine learning, near real-time dashboards, alert management, business intelligence (BI) reporting, and comprehensive device management.

Well-Architected Pillars
The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.
