IPPs managing large renewable fleets are turning to unified software and hardware platforms to improve reliability and streamline operations. This presentation shares lessons from real deployments that combine asset performance management, SCADA and a power plant controller to oversee more than 140 GW of solar, wind and hybrid assets worldwide.

The speaker will outline what it takes to integrate inverters, battery systems and substations into a single operational view, and how predictive diagnostics and real-time analytics are helping operators reduce curtailment, increase availability and meet grid requirements. Examples from utility-scale sites will highlight common commissioning and interoperability challenges and the strategies used to resolve them.

This session is ideal for developers, asset managers, O&M professionals and utilities seeking scalable, future-proof solutions to digitalize renewable portfolios and boost ROI.

Session Presentation

POWERGEN has been really helpful in identifying the industry scale of what’s going on behind the scenes, and how that affects each and every one of us across different divisions, levels, and inputs in the industry itself [...] That’s something not everybody gets to experience at other conferences.

The most valuable part of POWERGEN is networking with peers, walking the exhibit floor, and seeing all the activity and energy across the industry. For me, the level of engagement is a strong indication that the future of this industry is in a good place, and I’m excited to be representing this event.

POWERGEN allows us to connect with all of our peers and it brings in folks that are maybe not quite familiar with everything in power, and they get to come to one place and see it all in one place and make new connections.
