Initial Setup

Setting up the AI-Ready PV Demo Project on your N3uron node is straightforward. Follow these steps for a seamless configuration.

Prerequisites

• N3uron v1.22 installed: Install N3uron on your chosen operating system or deployment scenario (Windows, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, etc). Refer to the N3uron Installation Guide for detailed instructions.

• AI-Ready PV Demo Project: If you don’t have it yet, Download the AI-Ready PV Demo Project Here or contact us at support@n3uron.com.

Step 1: Install N3uron

If not installed yet, set up N3uron v1.22 on your preferred operating system or deployment scenario by following the N3uron Installation Guide.

Step 2: Import the PV Demo Backup

1. Log in to the N3uron WebUI using your credentials.

2. Go to the Backup Management section.

3. Select and import the AI-Ready PV Demo Project.

4. Once imported, load the AI-Ready PV Demo Project to initialize the node and restart the service when prompted.

Step 3: Run the historical data backfill

After the backup is restored, the live simulation starts immediately and produces real-time data from that point forward. To populate the N3uron Historian with 90 days of simulated historical data — enabling trend analysis, KPI comparisons, and AI-driven diagnostics from day one — you need to trigger the backfill once.

1. In the WebUI, navigate to Data → Real Time and select the /BACKFILL/ tag group.

2. Write true to the Request tag to trigger the backfill Scripting task. You can choose to set the Underperformance tag to true for PST_03/INV001 and PST_06/INV002, and, if you’d like, update the Backfill script in Scripting to adjust the underperforming inverters.

3. Monitor progress using the Status tag (e.g., Day 12/90 done) and ProgressPct tag (0–100).

4. Wait until Status reads Complete and ProgressPct reaches 100. The Running and Request tags will automatically reset to false.

Note:

The backfill typically completes in under 1 minute. To stop it early, write true to the StopRequest tag — the process will stop cleanly after the current day finishes, preserving all history already written. The backfill can be safely re-run at any time; each run fully overwrites the existing historical data for the covered period.

Step 4: Verify the setup

Once the backfill is complete, confirm the environment is fully operational:

• Real-time data in WebUI: Navigate to Data → Real Time and browse the /PVSIM/BLUELAKE/PVG001/ hierarchy. All tags should show live values with quality 192 (Good).
  

• Real-time data in Web Vision: Navigate to Real Time and browse the /PVSIM/BLUELAKE/PVG001/ hierarchy. All tags should show live values with quality 192 (Good).
  

• Historical data in WebUI: Open any historized tag and query any time range within the last 90 days.
  

  
  

• Historical data in Web Vision: Open any historized tag and query any time range within the last 90 days.
  

• MCP Server: Connect an MCP client to http(s)://<host>:<port>/mcp using the Bearer Token you must recreate and configure the access permissions of tools, prompts, and resources.
