What We Do
Solar PV SCADA
Nor-Cal’s turnkey SCADA systems include a Power Plant Controller, which enables site-wide substation and individual inverter and device level control, meeting all controls functionality requirements per the project specifications.
EMS SCADA
An Energy Management System (EMS) is a supervisory controller that dispatches one or more energy storage/generation systems. It is required to monitor and optimally control each energy storage system, as well as to interoperate multiple energy storage/generation systems.
