New grid trends and Smart Traffic Control can reduce energy dependence and slow the global greenhouse effect.

More than 10,000 Vestas wind turbines with scalable distributed control system have been deployed in the field, and Vestas continues to integrate the DCS into thousands of wind turbines each year. Now, TTTech Industrial’s distributed control system was integrated into the world’s first 15 MW wind turbine built by Vestas.

By using Smart Grid gateways for monitoring energy networks, existing systems, new devices and control systems can be connected – regardless of the communication technology or the manufacturer brand.

Cost-effective automated reconciliation for petroleum distribution terminals improves safety and accounting. Using an edge controller, Blendtech was able to present their customer with a reliable data aggregation solution that significantly reduced the cost of API 2350 compliance.

ARB Midstream built a complete SCADA system for an oil pipeline with 37 sites in just six months. The resulting system uses cloud computing, a local OPC UA server with the ability to leverage multiple protocols and an architecture that set a new standard for future SCADA projects.

Industrial RTUs, which are configured redundantly in the control center, help to ensure reliable network security and management for Deutsche Energie Funk. The end result is a fail-safe communication network that enables the smart grid provider to better serve customers.

A data-centric databus is the structure that enables disparate Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to work together as an integrated ecosystem. The software databus enables independent DERs to function as a secure, scalable and cohesive ecosystem.

Leveraging IIoT connectivity for virtual power plants requires high data speeds and quick response times. In this ecosystem, a key to the stability of the system is zero network downtime. 4G-LTE and now 5G technologies are helping build stable networks, so that they can connect to remote sites and assets.

New SCADA system developed at Ecoplexus provides better data access, improved efficiency, and lower costs. The company also now has a consistent “look and feel” for all its solar sites—in addition to lower costs, greater efficiency, more data, and improved data analysis.

Belectric in Dresden, Germany, offers customers sophisticated hybrid power plants, leveraging its diverse expertise in solar generation, wind and PV energy storage. Systems are coordinated by an energy management system that uses advanced automation control technology and POWERLINK communication.
