CEO comment: New partnerships for a future full of growth

2022 looks like a year of many opportunities ‒ and not only when we look at our own organization, but in the strategies and policies formed by governments in pioneering countries. In Germany, they aim to install 10 GW of new onshore wind projects per year by 2030 and double their electrolyzer target to 10 GW in 2030.

In the United States, they have committed themselves to deploying 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030, and Denmark aims to reduce 70% of CO2 emissions by 2030, where Power-to-X is to play a vital part in achieving that goal.

Besides this, we can see that many other countries follow in the same footsteps.

The ships are heading towards a more renewable and sustainable future, and, naturally, we want to be on board.

That is why we at SCADA International keep optimizing and future-proofing our monitoring and control solutions, so they fit industry needs. We are closely following the renewable energy sector development, and we respond to the development by looking into new business areas ‒ more on that in the following months.

We believe in the future, and we are also convinced that our contribution can help fuel a better and brighter future.

Discover the Solar PV Data Tag-list

We are proud to present our Data Tag-list ― now also for solar PV. The list comprises 299 tag names and data points. This adds to the +2600 tag names of our Global Wind Data Tag-List. The new Solar PV Data Tag-List has been established to support a cooperative data exchange environment within the solar PV industry. Based on the IEC 61850-7-4 and IEC 61850-7-420 standards, it normalizes the data by transforming various data into one standard data set.

A comment on EU's Fit For 55 plans

The EU aims in the fit for 55 plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030

The EU aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030. To reach this target, the EU has initiated the Fit for 55 proposals. This will ensure that current and future laws and legislations contribute to a greener future.

However, the big question is how the EU will do that and what will the future actually look like. This comes with increasing energy supply from renewables.

Our expert on the subject, Torben Christensen, Automation (SCADA) and Energy Specialist, believes that the future looks bright ― but with one bump on the way: 

“I see many opportunities in the Fit for 55 plans. However, it is a little bit of an all-road-leads-to-Rome scenario. The EU has proposed these targets, but the way to reach those targets is mostly up to EU member states to determine. And that can be a big bump on the way: If we go in many different directions at the same time, we end up going nowhere.”

Pawel PMO SCADA

I started this December, and I must say, that all the colleagues at SCADA International have given me a warm welcome and acknowledges that I am going through a steep learning curve. There has been a well-structured introduction period followed by some concrete tasks, where I have received the help and support that I needed, so I never felt alone. I already feel that they have a huge amount of faith in me but at the same time big expectations of me.
