Power Plant Controller (PPC)
Precision control for solar assets
A Power Plant Controller is essential for meeting grid requirements, optimizing production, and coordinating the behavior of all generating equipment. When properly engineered, a PPC ensures stable, predictable operation and helps owners avoid penalties or production losses.
Challenges in PPC Implementation
Complex requirements demand expert solutions
Grid Code Compliance
Meeting strict grid codes for curtailment, voltage control, frequency response, AGC, and ramping
Equipment Coordination
Coordinating multiple equipment types under one control philosophy
Grid Stability
Ensuring stable and accurate behavior during grid disturbances
System Integration
Integrating PPC logic with SCADA, networks, and field devices
Adaptive Requirements
Adapting to ISO/utility-specific requirements or dynamic real-time setpoints
Testing & Validation
Testing and validating performance during commissioning and beyond
