You may be familiar with SCADA consistently being blamed for a project not passing a capacity test for the IE, or stretching out COD timelines because Control System Testing was not accounted for in a project schedule after already delayed system integration efforts. The reality is that SCADA is not to blame, the projects are simply more complex and have too many parties trying to all do their parts. Too many moving parts without a technical conductor will not make for an elegant symphony.
The projects are more complex and have too many parties. You may be familiar with some of these Scenarios:
When one is focused on their SCADA design, there may be a lack in understanding of utility or ISO requirements.
When one is focused on Interconnection, there may be inexperience in project execution.
When one is focused on the Substation iIntegration, they may not have experience in the Solar, BESS or Wind Arrays.
When one is focused on the Electrical Engineering within the Solar Array, they might not know what is required of Controls for Reliable Grid Operation.
When one is focused on the field integration, they may lack the understanding of what it takes to build a PPC and HMI.
And many more potential scenarios…
