SgurrEnergy's SCADA and plant controller advisory is an independent technical review of a renewable project's control philosophy, SCADA functional requirements and plant controller settings. It ensures the plant's control and monitoring systems align with grid connection, compliance and operational needs for wind, solar PV, BESS and hybrid projects.
Why This Service Matters
SgurrEnergy advises on SCADA and plant controller requirements that support monitoring, control, grid compliance, dispatch and operational performance.
When This Service Is Needed
Plant control strategy affects grid compliance
SCADA requirements need alignment with owner or utility needs
BESS or hybrid projects require coordinated control
Operational visibility or data quality is a concern
