Trader operability
Renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar PV modules are important players in the energy transition. But to utilize the produced renewable energy, the power units must be connected to the grid and the energy market. This increases the demand for real-time data and third–party access to the power units.
Do power traders need access to your power units?
When entering the energy market, you need to ensure that the power traders and responsible balancing parties can access your power-generating units. Otherwise, they cannot utilize the power you want to sell – preferably at a good price. However, in order to enable trader operability, you need to establish a control connection to your power units.
Maybe you can relate to the following challenges:
No accessible control technology
You need to be able to send start and stop signals to the individual wind turbines or solar PV inverters to control the power output.
Insufficient data
You don’t receive real-time production data from the wind turbines or solar PV inverters which is a requirement.
Need for third-party access
You need a system that enables power traders to access your power units and sell the power produced at the best possible price.
Increased grid requirements
The responsible balancing party requires you to comply with grid code requirements, so you have to be able to control the power output from your renewable power plants.
Choose an all-in-one solution with a common entry-point to the energy market
OneView® SCADA is a simple, flexible, and independent renewable asset management solution.Â
With our Portfolio SCADA, we offer asset owners a common entry point into the energy market. The system provides third-party access to live, real-time data, historical data, as well as events and alarms. You can give traders and responsible balancing parties access to monitoring options for better decision-making regarding power trading. Â
Together with the OneView® Universal Park Controller, you get an all-in-one solution to monitor and control the power output for your entire wind power or solar PV plant. The controller calculates and distributes setpoints to each turbine or inverter through the OneView® SCADA system based on the fixed setpoint for the whole power plant.
