Power Plant Controller (PPC) Systems

Design and implement advanced Power Plant Controllers (PPC) for regulating voltage and frequency, executing coordinated load curtailment, and ensuring reliable, grid-compliant performance. PPC systems provide comprehensive control and monitoring capabilities for renewable energy facilities.

SCADA Control Racks / Control House Panels

Design and manufacture renewable SCADA racks with engineered, reliable control power for resilient and compliant plant operations. Control house panels are built to industrial standards and provide robust monitoring and control capabilities for renewable energy facilities.

Data Concentrators

Design and manufacture secure data concentrators that communicate with substation IEDs, MET stations, inverter-based resources, and revenue meters. These systems generate event files, record faults, and ensure reliable system integration and grid visibility for comprehensive operational monitoring.

Utility / ISO Gateways

Design and manufacture secure utility and ISO gateways that facilitate the exchange of power and VAR setpoints, report real-time telemetry and synchrophasor data, receive trip commands, and maintain reliable, compliant grid interconnection. Gateways ensure seamless communication between generation facilities and grid operators.

MET Stations

Design and integrate high-accuracy MET stations that collect wind, solar irradiance, temperature, and environmental data for performance monitoring, forecasting, and grid compliance. MET stations provide critical meteorological data essential for optimizing renewable energy generation and meeting regulatory requirements.

Long-Term Data Storage & Analytics

Design and deploy high-performance data historians for secure, long-term storage, trending, event analysis, and regulatory reporting of plant and grid operational data. Data storage and analytics solutions provide comprehensive historical data management and actionable insights for operational optimization and compliance.
