“SCADA”, the system for managing the world’s largest photovoltaic plants
In the wake of major global problems such as climate change, excessive population growth, pollution, inefficient use or depletion of natural resources, it is vital that countries employ technologies to achieve a less environmentally damaging model of economic activity.
We realise that the energy sector will only achieve the much sought-after zero emissions if there is a major global push to accelerate innovation.
How to manage renewable energy platforms – can technology be the answer?
We have created a tool for process change and enrichment based on big data management and analysis.
ACCIONA Energy is the largest global energy operator dedicated exclusively to the production of electricity from renewable sources. It is a leader in the development, engineering, construction, operation and maintenance of renewable assets, with a focus on onshore wind and solar photovoltaic energy.
The challenge was to build a highly scalable and secure system capable of managing the information that ACCIONA generates from the different existing systems, offering all the necessary tools to perform both real-time and historical analysis of the information to solve key business questions.
Acciona’s Digital Revolution Process
To develop Magus (Multi Assets Global Unified SCADA) and SHARP (SCADA Historical Analysis and Reporting Platform), we have created solutions based on Microsoft Azure.
The solution is based on a Big Data management and analysis approach to achieve the best results for the client.
Development with IoT, Azure, BI and .NET. Beyond a scalable infrastructure, we have used both open source solutions and custom developed solutions that allow us to adapt to each scenario.
These provide the necessary infrastructure and tools to meet ACCIONA Energy’s needs.
“Plain Concepts has guided us from the beginning of the project. It is essential for a company to develop projects for other companies, giving us a clear perspective on the current trends in software development.”
Results
- Maximising production
- Minimisation of Operational Costs
- Real-time and historical analysis
We are ready for new challenges
