Abstract

As solar power continues to grow, plant automation and control becomes more important. It comprises all the necessary intelligence to turn the solar energy into a reliable and flexible power source. As leading automation provider, field proven PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system accompanied by dedicated control and diagnostics functions assure reliable power production and grid code compliance at all times.
