Solar SCADA
Solar SCADA integrates multiple solar collector technologies using industry-proven hardware tools and modern smart grid protocols supported by the power generation industry. Using these standards, solar field operational data can be gathered and then presented to users and operators in a way familiar to utility industry control room operators and service technicians.
Solar Power
Efforts to harness solar energy for industrial purposes are as old as the industrial revolution, with some early steam engines operated by mechanically tracked solar collectors
The main concern of solar systems has always been the very large areas required to effectively harness usefully large amounts of solar power. Fortunately, communications technologies and computers have reached a cost and performance point where instrumentation and accuracy can allow affordable, reliable control of very large collections of solar collectors.
SCADA
SCADA stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition, a term used by industry as a blanket term for the control systems employed across industrial plants and the electrical grid.
SCADA technology has come a long way, from mechanical regulators and analog control wires to fully-digital controllers over fiber optics. This tremendous progress in industrial control technology has made available low cost and highly reliable control hardware and software for power plant automation and utility control.
