Central Oversight for Dispersed Power Plants

This technical report details the implementation of a centralized supervisory system for DaeMyoungEnergy, which operates several dispersed wind and solar power plants across Korea. The company faced challenges due to rapid growth and the lack of standardized configurations, making it difficult to share insights and manage operations effectively. In May 2022, DaeMyoungEnergy sought a solution to improve oversight and selected the zenon software platform, recommended by Lait System Co Ltd. The report outlines how zenon was implemented across nine power plants and one substation, providing a standardized data format and enhancing connectivity with diverse hardware. The implementation resulted in improved workflows, real-time reporting, and reduced delays in information sharing. The report also highlights the benefits of zenon Logic and Process Gateway, which facilitated easy integration and programming, ultimately leading to operational efficiencies and better management of renewable energy resources.
