How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

  • Hail storms can destroy thousands of solar PV modules in minutes, causing millions of dollars in physical asset damage.
  • Hurricane-force wind gusts exceed structural design limits of wind turbine towers if blades are not feathered and yawed properly.
  • Manual execution of plant weather protection procedures by on-site technicians was often too slow when sudden storm fronts arrived.

Severe Weather Early Warning Integration

Santulan integrates real-time Doppler radar feeds, lightning trackers, and micro-climate weather forecasts.

Input Signal:

Real-time operational telemetry & queue

Reasoning Pattern:

MCP grounded vector inference

Governance Gate:

Policy constrained with audit write-back

Verified Business Outcomes

  • Zero solar module hail damage recorded during major storm front due to automated advance hail stowing.
  • Prevented structural wind damage across 120 wind turbines during Category 3 hurricane gusts. $5.5M saved in avoided physical asset replacement and insurance deductible costs.

Capabilities this relies on

  • signal ingestion
  • forecasting
  • anomaly detection
  • scenario simulation
  • alert routing
