Presentations
Designing, Procuring, and Installing Industry Leading SCADA on Utility Solar PV and ESS Projects
Today's utility-scale solar PV and BESS plants are far bigger than other types of power plants. These projects are spread out across hundreds to thousands of acres of land. A centralized SCADA system includes all of the hardware and software provided by the EPC SCADA subcontractor and/or integrator as part of their turnkey scope of work to provide real time, local, remote control, and monitoring of the solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) plant.
Attendees will understand the hardware and software components of SCADA systems for solar PV and BESS projects including the overall scope of work for designing, coordinating, testing, and commissioning these types of SCADA systems.
