Recently, ACE helped a client build a 200 MW wind farm near Narrogin in Western Australia’s Renewable Energy Zone. The project faced typical challenges: multiple turbine brands with different communication standards, remote site constraints, regulatory compliance requirements, and cybersecurity risks.
ACE tackled these issues with a proactive engineering approach:
Standardising protocols across all turbine brands
Integrating local OEM equipment and PPCs directly to the TNSP SCADA
Ensuring compliance with NEM and WEM market rules
Implementing predictive maintenance and continuous monitoring
Building reliable communication networks with 4G, satellite backup, and mesh redundancy
Our solutions delivered measurable results:
34% increase in operational efficiency
72% fewer emergency call-outs
$4.2 million additional annual revenue
ROI achieved in just 18 months
By integrating SCADA early, wind farm operators can avoid costly delays and maximise energy production. ACE also offers an Early-Stage Engineering Audit, including:
SCADA network review
Bill of Materials optimisation
Protocol compatibility checks
Cybersecurity compliance assessment
Risk mitigation roadmap
At ACE, we empower wind farms to participate fully in the NEM and WEM, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and profitability from day one.
If you’re looking to optimise your wind farm operations with reliable SCADA integration, partner with ACE and experience the difference that engineering expertise and smart technology can make.
