At ACE, we know that small warnings can lead to big failures if left unchecked. In a recent case, a 50MW solar farm ignored minor SCADA alarms for months. When peak production hit, the system completely failed. This avoidable issue resulted in major downtime and financial loss.
From our experience, these problems are common across solar, wind, and BESS projects. Small communication mismatches, data delays, and unexplained alarms can quickly escalate. Yet, many of these failures are preventable with a proactive SCADA maintenance approach.
Our Preventive Approach Includes:
-
Real-time monitoring: Catch minor issues before they escalate.
-
Early fault detection: Identify mismatches and delays that disrupt operations.
-
Optimised data flow: Ensure consistent and reliable communication.
-
Proactive maintenance: Prevent small problems from becoming major failures.
By focusing on these key areas, ACE helps renewable energy developers avoid unnecessary costs and protect their investments.
