Offering SCADA Engineering Services for Utilities and Renewable Energy Balance-of-Plant Projects
SCADA Engineering Services include the detailed design, configuration, implementation, and commissioning of SCADA systems for the monitoring and control of electrical substations. The system design may incorporate comprehensive plant-level monitoring (BESS, PV, WTG etc.) and PPC data acquisition, along with the development of the customised HMI screens in accordance with project requirements. For wind farm projects, the scope also includes SCADA integration for field-based reticulation RMUs within the collector network.
For the renewable generation, services further encompass integration with electricity network infrastructure via NSP interfaces and third-party dispatch. All integrations will be engineered to comply with (NER 5.2.6.1), grid connection agreement and Energy Conversion Model (ECM). SCADA solutions are developed aligning to utility and renewable energy balance-of-plant applications and requirements.
