Automation for battery storage and renewable energy from one partner

We design and deliver automation and SJV2024/VJV2024-compliant plant control for battery storage, solar parks and hybrid projects. Interfaces, communications and protection work as one system – long after commissioning.

Where we add the most value

We are strongest in BESS and hybrid integration, RTU and control room solutions, protection, and technical deliveries taken all the way to commissioning.

  • BESS and hybrid sites

    Storage, control, RTU, protection and substation interfaces designed as one system.

    BESS integration

  • Power plant controllers (PPC)

    Power plant controllers for type A–D plants from our sister company Greencontrol.

    Greencontrol controllers

  • RTU, HMI and SCADA

    One managed interface for communications, control and monitoring: IEC 61850, Modbus TCP and IEC 104.

    RTU and SCADA solutions

  • Protection and testing

    Protection settings, relay configuration, testing and on-site commissioning checks. We are Vizimax’s official partner in Finland.

    Protection and testing

  • OT cybersecurity and NIS2

    Segmented networks, IDS monitoring and real-time anomaly detection for substations. We are an official OMICRON sales partner.

    OT cybersecurity

  • Transformers and components

    Power and distribution transformers, switchgear and instrument transformers, as part of a project or as a separate delivery. We are Protrafo’s official partner in Finland.

    Transformers and components

One technical model for controlling and monitoring the entire storage system

When the BESS, PPC, protection relays, RTU, communications and substation interfaces are designed together, commissioning is faster and maintenance stays simple.

  • PPC as part of the same automation system
  • Central RTU for park data and controls
  • Managed network architecture and segmentation
  • Design, configuration, testing and commissioning from one supplier

Our work speaks through delivered projects

A few highlights from substations, battery storage sites and transformer deliveries.

  • Substation HMI/SCADA view in a control room RTU / HMI / SCADA

    Lattiasaari substation upgrade

    RTU upgrade, relay modifications and HMI/SCADA renewal for a substation. The control room, communications and field devices were combined into one managed system.

    • Sicam A8000
    • Zenon SCADA
    • IEC 61850
    • IEC 60870-5-101/104
  • RTU cabinet at a battery storage site BESS / substation

    Murronkangas BESS site

    MV feeder, protection and RTUs for the substation and the battery storage. The substation and the BESS were brought into one technical model.

    • Siemens 7SJ82
    • Sicam A8000
    • Load shedding and emergency stop logic
  • Transformer being lifted into place Transformers / electric boilers

    Transformer deliveries for electric boiler projects

    Several 10–16.5 MVA transformers for electric boiler projects, together with protection calculations so that each project could move from design to implementation in a controlled way.

    • 10–16.5 MVA
    • Protection calculations
    • Special transformers
