OUR EXPERTISE

Microgrid, solar, BESS & wind SCADA

ACE designs microgrid controls using supported industrial platforms. We integrate generation and battery storage to monitor energy production, charging and discharging. The control design reflects the site’s grid-connected or off-grid operating needs.

Our work combines plant controls, communications and operator displays. Explore our SCADA engineering and substation automation services for related project needs.

FAQ

BESS & solar SCADA questions

What is BESS SCADA and why does it matter?
BESS means battery energy storage system. SCADA gives operators live status, alarms and control interfaces for the battery plant. It connects with battery management and power conversion systems, while the agreed design defines dispatch and control responsibilities.
Which BESS and solar SCADA platforms does ACE work with?
ACE works with Ignition, Siemens WinCC OA, Schneider Geo SCADA and SEL RTAC. We select platforms and equipment interfaces to suit the project. Integration depends on the inverter, battery and plant controller interfaces available.
How long does BESS SCADA design and commissioning take?
Timing depends on the scope, equipment availability and site readiness. ACE plans design, programming, factory acceptance testing, site testing and commissioning with the project team. Early scoping helps identify interface and testing needs.
What standards do ACE's BESS and solar SCADA systems comply with?
The design follows the project’s agreed connection and technical requirements. These may include market operator and network service provider telemetry requirements. Protocols such as IEC 61850, DNP3 and Modbus support the relevant equipment interfaces.
How much BESS SCADA experience does ACE have?
ACE’s portfolio includes BESS projects delivered and underway across Australia. Examples include Wagerup BESS for Alinta Energy and controls for Glenellen Solar Farm, with provision for future battery integration.
Does ACE provide ongoing support after commissioning?
Yes. ACE provides remote diagnostics, software updates, alarm reviews and support for system expansion. Contact us to agree the support scope and response arrangements for your assets.
