Solar Plant Automation System
Reliable Solutions to Optimise Solar Plants Performance
Maximum Uptime, Lower Maintenance Costs, and Reduced Engineering Time
Solar energy has tremendous potential in the energy sector and since 2016, solar power has been the fastest growing source of new energy globally, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). At MBCS, we realise this and are committed to offer technology solutions addressing the need of Solar Power Industry worldwide. We act to leverage as a single vendor in Solar Plant Automation System (Roof-top and Ground Mounted) to harness this non-conventional resource and promote green energy to create a low carbon future in the most cost effective, reliable, and efficient way.
Our Solar Plant Automation System meets the crucial requirement of Solar PV Plant operators for constant supervision of the generation, maximisation of solar energy yield, real-time and historical trends/graphs, grid code compliance, etc.
Multifunction Meters
SATEC Multifunction Meters can effectively measure, control and analyse electrical parameters for Power Quality and Fault Analysis. These are multifunctional 3-phase power meter. This series provides a cost-effective substitute for numerous analog meters used by industrial, commercial and utility customers for basic power metering. They are suitable for Solar Plants because of their support in industrial communication protocols like DNP 3.0, Modbus RTU, MODBUS TCP/IP, IEC 101 and IEC 104 protocols, as well as pluggable I/O capabilities (using DI/DO modules). Each meter has serial RS-485 communication port as a standard.
Power Quality & Disturbance Fault Analyser
SATEC PM180 is a high-performance analyser that allows versatile uses. It ensures system and asset reliability with cleaner power. PM180 can be installed in all incomer and critical outgoing feeder for monitoring faults, disturbance, sequence of events (one msec. resolution), power quality and measure energy parameters with maximum demand control. It offers complete digital fault and reports as per EN50160 and IEEE 1159 standard with comprehensive power quality event/data log with waveforms available for detailed Power Quality event analysis.
Automatic Weather Stations (AWS)
Precise Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) for assessment and system operations are a mandatory in Roof-top and Ground Mounted Solar Plants. MBCS make “SURYA” weather stations are SCADA compatible with versatile industrial communication protocols available like MODBUS RTU, MODBUS TCP/IP and IEC 60870-5-104. Accurate measurements, low power requirements, and proven reliability in extreme weather conditions make our weather stations ideal for all types of meteorological and climatological monitoring anywhere on earth.
Substation Automation System (SAS)
Substations are the building blocks for any grid. MBCS has the right technology to automate these substations, ensuring highest efficiency and productivity to grid operator and owners. Our solutions range from complete IEC61850 based system to non-IEC 61850 IEDs or combinations of both, providing utilities to shift to new technology without comprising on current investment.
SCADA System
Whether you are looking to integrate new, update or replace your existing control system, we can help you migrate to an advanced control system. MBSCADA Pro SCADA systems offer high availability and reliability at the lowest cost of ownership. The logics, calculations and reports in MBSCADA pro are designed based on latest IEC standards for Photovoltaic system performance. It features inverter and string level monitoring along with responsive interfaces to provide data through graphical analysis on real time basis. Further, feature of remote data logging on FTP Server in form of .csv is also available.
Remote Data Monitoring System – Cloud Based
MBSCADA Cloud offers users to monitor and analyse plant data through field datalogging devices. It has been designed for rooftop and smaller ground mounted solar plants to access plant data through pre-defined pages. Users can monitor data of various sensors, inverters, energy meters etc. and generate reports, view trends and download reports in .xml and PDF. MBSCADA Cloud allows multi-level account access along with accessing multiple plants through a single account.
Telemetry System – SLDC Connectivity
Being pioneers in engineering Telemetry Systems, we currently have 400+ sites running on our systems over the last 10+ years PAN India. Our system design is based on Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) with all required type-test certifications which are mandatory for all SLDC’s. Communication media for telemetry system is selected depending on the SLDC norms and available communication media at site. Our telemetry systems are operating on all types of communication media – Cellular service (Dynamic or Static IP), V-SAT, Radio, Leased Lines/MPLS/Broadband, PLCC, OFC etc. As per SLDC norms redundant communication links are also provided.
Plant Generation – Forecasting and Scheduling Service (QCA)
MBCS “HELIOT” is a machine learning engine based on algorithms designed to provide accurate forecasting of photovoltaic yield. It has been designed as per SLDC norms and forecasts for every 15 minutes block. The built-in engine reads the previous Forecasts and compares with the actual results continuously with Self-Learning Algorithms. The Independent Power Producers (IPP) will benefit from this, since CERC is to impose penalties on inaccuracies of more than ±15% as per different deviation % slabs.
