OneView® Hybrid Control Unit
Reduce complexity with a unified hybrid power plant controller
Hybrid power plants are on the rise. The more complexity you add to the system, the more time and resources will be spent on managing it. Each new technology – whether it is within wind turbines, hydroelectric dams, or solar panels – brings its own challenges.
The OneView® Hybrid Control Unit can manage your entire power hybrid system. The energy controller easily integrates and controls multiple assets. Accurately and based on your business priorities.
Hybrid controller for wind,
solar, storage and demand
Automatic power control
with easy grid connection
Upsize and integrate
flawlessly
through one system
Analyze and monitor live
and historical data
Control the power output from a diversified fleet
The system is designed to be a versatile tool for managing hybrid power plants, regardless of energy source, technology, and setup.
The solution facilitates easy and cost-effective transmission and reception of set points from a utility provider to the plant, both automatically and manually, through a simple and user-friendly interface.
To ensure that the power output aligns with the specified set point, the control unit measures the power at the grid connection point. This enables the regulation of power output from the power plant, resulting in a stabilized power supply that aligns with the demand.
Comply seamlessly with grid regulations
With the OneView® Hybrid Control Unit you can maximize power capacity and enhance the usage of grid connection capacity. Through the integration of different technologies, this solution enables you to control your assets remotely and curtail them fast if needed.
What does the OneView® Hybrid Control Unit include?
- Integration of the substation controllers, grid analyzers, and energy meters
- Automatic control with curtailment function and other customized control functions
- Active and reactive power control
- Web client with a production overview and lost production reporting
- Access to historical and live data
- Storing of historical data, alarms, and events
- Notifications on live alarms and events
- Communication with any standard interface – including analog and digital signals
Manage multiple traders in a single view
The control unit allows you to provide access for multiple traders in one unified system, giving you a clear overview of all the parks curtailed by different power traders.
Usually, each OEM provides integration to the traders. However, in mixed parks with multiple OEMs, this becomes troublesome for you as an owner, as you might have several traders with no full overview of why the park has been stopped.
For availability purposes, you need a complete overview of curtailment causes, which the OneView® Energy Control Unit can give you – eliminating the complexity of handling multiple traders.
By letting SCADA International handle the complex trading setup centrally, you will have one point of access, providing you with a clear overview of who is curtailing your assets.
- Different power plant controllers
- Wind turbines
- Solar PV inverters
- Hydro turbines
- Renewable energy storage
- Battery storage (BESS)
- PTX plants and load management
- Capacitor banks
- Grid measurement equipment
- Utility
- Third parties (e.g., traders)
The commanding signals of the energy units (sub-units) are calculated based on the regulation algorithm, the received energy set points, and the actual measurements at the point of common coupling.
These regulation methods are supported by:
- Cos phi control
- Voltage control
- Frequency control
- Active power ramping
- Active and reactive power control
In addition to the standard control algorithms, the system allows for implementing site-specific and customized controls to fulfill specific requirements. This includes the ability to incorporate controls for substation equipment, event-triggered controls such as shadow, noise, and wind speed, as well as controls based on different time schedules.
Furthermore, reactive power set points can be distributed to individual sub-energy parks based on their respective capacitive or inductive capabilities. The reactive power regulation can be operated in both Q-ref mode and Cos phi mode.
The control unit supports a list of communication protocols for utility/trader, subunits, and grid meters.
Supported communication protocols:
- Modbus TCP/IP
- Modbus RTU
- IEC 60870-5-104
- IEC 60870-5-101
- DNP3 TCP/IP
- DNP3 Serial
- IEC 61850
- Digital (optional)
- Analog (optional)
- Server
- PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
- Grid meter
- UPS
- Router
- Firewall
