Trimark married advanced SCADA functions with intuitive analytical tools to meet both operational and business needs of resource owners, operators, and maintenance teams. A Single, Unified Solution for PV Control and Management Utility-scale solar resources are complex and generate large amounts of data. The equipment at these sites create thousands of data points. Actions require immediate analysis and response. To address the unique challenges to maximize PV power generation, a SCADA system with precise monitoring and detailed analysis capabilities is needed. From reporting to forecasting, Trimark provides a complete utility-scale SCADA system, including measurement, automation, logic, and performance management. It’s exactly what you need to maximize uptime, meet revenue commitments, optimize asset life, and fine tune performance. Trimark’s SCADA solution combines intelligent automation, real-time control and a highly intuitive user interface. SCADA lets you reach across your entire portfolio or down to any device at any site. You can manage your system from a web browser or even a mobile app using Trimark Vantage, our intuitive user interface. You can also let the system automate routine actions, process external commands, and deliver exact power values at the point of interconnection. Trimark Associates ranked #1 worldwide for utility-scale solar monitoring at 170 plants producing 6.5 GW of power. Green Tech Media Manage your Power Production with Trimark SCADA Trimark’s SCADA system enables real time monitoring and pinpoint control, along with customizable reports that are used to analyze and optimize performance. The system monitors and controls a variety of devices at utility-scale sites, such as inverters, meters, trackers, meteorological stations, sensors, and other smart devices. The data from these devices is used to highlight deficient performance and point out the need for maintenance activities. We continually work to evolve our system to meet our clients’ needs. Our ongoing advancements illustrate how powerful a SCADA system can be to ensure solar power plants operate and perform as intended. Trimark SCADA System SCADA − Gathers and relays data; performs control logic and operations Historian − Collects and stores operational data for use in reports, controls, and real time displays Vantage User Interface – Displays real-time data for monitoring and control, enables users to issue commands, notifies users about alarms and alerts, and generates reports that support performance Data Gateway – Provides industrial-strength automation, control, and secure bi-directional data telemetry Revenue Metering – Ensures equitable settlements and measures exact performance Meteorological Stations – Measures key environmental factors that impact performance Server Racks and Network Drop – Delivers security and connectivity in a durable configuration All of these features can be managed via local, remote, and mobile access. Innovative Design In-House Trimark’s SCADA system was developed and designed in-house, adding value, functionality, innovative features, and customizable configurations to match each client’s specific requirements.

Trimark is providing a full SCADA system for the site. READ MORE… WINTERFELL Trimark imported data from the Vertech SCADA system for display in Trimark’s Vantage HMI. The SCADA system gathers data from 20 inverters, 2 weather stations, plane of array irradiance sensors, back of modules temperature sensors, and trackers. The data will be used for monitoring only; no control is planned. READ MORE… ANTELOPE DSR3 Trimark provided an end-to-end solution, including a virtual server which runs the Trimark SCADA System with Historian, 3 revenue meters with integration into a Trimark loss compensation system and 4 network drops. Trimark additionally integrated this resource into an existing CAISO RIG, provided CAISO New Resource Implementation (NRI) services, met NERC/CIP Network Compliance and coordinated with a third party vendor to integrate MET Stations and sensors into Trimarks SCADA. To meet CAISO Market and SCE Transmission requirements, controls at the POI were done by integrating into the Trimark Master Plant Controller (MPC) at the sPower Big Sky Substation.
