Renewable Energy Under your control
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.
EMS BESS
Nor-Cal Controls, in partnership with IES, offers a fully Integrated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) solution. Our EMS BESS solution is suitable for various renewable energy project applications, including generation, transmission, and distribution.
Microgrids
The power grid is undergoing a massive shift towards renewable energy. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are crucial for this transition. Explore microgrids, can integrate with the grid and overcome challenges like stability and islanding operation, unlocking a future powered by clean and reliable energy.
RTDS Services
A Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) allows testing of both PPC & Plant equipment.
Testing is based on real world PPC and unique site control requirements.
The RTDS system can simulate PV, PV+BESS, and/or standalone BESS systems.
Met Stations
The Nor-Cal Controls’ Tahoe™ MET Station combines functionality, reliability, and simplicity to an existing technology. With an open architecture design, the MET Station is fully customizable and applicable with multiple SCADA applications and hardware platforms.
