Plant Control and SCADA for Solar, Wind and Hybrid Sites
About this course

Overview

Renewable plants are dispatched, curtailed and answerable to a grid operator in a way conventional plant is not. You cover the control architecture behind that: what the SCADA system monitors, how setpoints arrive from the network operator, and what running the control room looks like across a resource that will not sit still.

What you will be able to do

Learning outcomes

  • Describe renewable-plant SCADA architecture
  • Integrate generation and storage assets into control
  • Operate a plant controller against grid codes
  • Monitor plant performance and alarms
  • Apply security controls to the SCADA network
What the course sets out to do

Course objectives

  • Understand SCADA architecture for renewable plants
  • Integrate inverters, turbines, and storage into SCADA
  • Implement plant controllers for grid compliance
  • Manage alarms, data, and operational monitoring
  • Apply cybersecurity practice to plant control
