PV Plant Monitoring & Management SCADA

SATEC EOS is an advanced energy operating system covering typical SCADA functionality such as data acquisition, monitoring and control of the solar photovoltaic plants plus advanced features such as alarm generation, yield reports, performance ratios and operation and maintenance calendars which will provide the ideal and best in class tool to manage your solar photovoltaic plant Whether you are looking to manage better your business or involved in the purchase or sale of assets our system provides a clear edge over competitiors to monetize your investment in the short and long term.Whatever the size or topology, SATEC EOS will help you gain visibility and control over your photovoltaic facilities, enabling you to take decisions and optimice your solar photovoltaic plants; reducing costs and maximizing benefits. Every plant is modeled individually so the measures acquired can range from only the most basic ones; such as meteorological data and global energy production data to an exhaustive acquisition data scheme, where sensors are connected to the strings, to the input of the inverters and to all the switchgears of the plant, giving full visibility of the solar photovoltaic plant and enabling immediate reaction in the event of a fault. If you operate more than one plant, SATEC EOS at each plant will mean the additional benefit of having a unified and homogeneous scenario, providing an abstraction of the particular topology of each plant and easing the operation individually and globally. There is also a central module of SATEC EOS, which aims to be a multifunctional control board, where the principal data of each plant are processed and comparative reports obtained, providing the right tool for decision making in terms of investments. This central module supports not only photovoltaic plants, but also other energy generation technologies, such as wind power plants. Specifically there is also a version of SATEC EOS designed for monitoring and managing wind power plants.
