In the summer months of 2012, Plain Concepts had the chance of working with a long-time partner in developing SHARP (SCADA Historical Analysis and Reporting Platform) - their new data gathering and analysis system - built on top of Microsoft's Hadoop Distribution and SQL Server 2012.
SHARP performs the data loading from wind power farms all across the globe to a Hadoop cluster, which serves many purposes, ranging from historical storage, performance model generation and data source for aggregated data to a relational Data Warehouse, on top of which SQL Server 2012 OLAP tabular models are built for high-performance, real time analytics leveraging PowerView and other tools.
