Photovoltaic Plant Control is a SICAM application that provides reliable, grid-code-compliant control and monitoring of power supplied by PV power plants. This ensures maximum efficiency and cost-effective operation by meeting stringent regulatory requirements for connecting to distribution and transmission grids. Based on the reliable SICAM A8000 platform, it offers a flexible, modular, and scalable solution.
With the SICAM based Photovoltaic Plant Control application, you can count on reliable, grid code conforms control and power monitoring.
The Siemens SICAM A8000 product family will help you achieve regulatory requirements while providing the highest efficiency in engineering, operation and maintenance.
Thanks to open interfaces and international standards, the system supports interoperability with inverters, weather stations, measuring devices and external monitoring and control systems.
Photovoltaic Plant Control offers integrated control of Battery-Energy-Storage-Systems (BESS), real-time control with reaction times < 100 ms, and active and reactive power control.
Components are certified according to VDE-AR-N 4110 and VDE-AR-N 4120 and are EZA farm controller compliant, meaning they're compatible with centralized farm control systems and meet the stringent regulatory requirements.
The control system’s modular design creates cost-efficient solutions for a wide range of plant configurations, including control of up to four independent zones per plant.
