Renewables and power generation

The power industry is undergoing unprecedented change across the world. Utilities now face a whole host of new challenges. The reality is increasingly complex: demonstrating maximum efficiency, minimising environmental impact, responding to fluctuations in demand, and doing all of this while ensuring reliable operation at the lowest possible operating cost.

With over 25 years of experience in control, automation, SCADA, and remote connectivity, inControl Systems is perfectly positioned to support your renewable energy and power generation projects.

Advanced renewable energy & power generation control solutions

Within power generation and renewable energy applications, inControl delivers:

• Advanced controls & safety systems
• Distributed field-based and unmanned monitoring & control solutions
• PLC, DCS & software design applications
• SCADA visualisation solutions with remote access via tablet/device
• Full project management including design, installation, startup, and commissioning services

We also provide innovative control solutions designed specifically for power applications, ensuring maximum safety, reliability, and efficiency across all plant subsystems.

Electrification driving clean and green power generation

The shift towards electrification is driven not only by electric mobility but also by industrial applications such as steel production and the switch to electrical arc furnaces (EAF). Beyond that, more and more industrial premises are moving away from fossil fuels towards all-electric operation.

Developers are increasingly harnessing renewable energy sources to reduce fossil fuel dependence. These often unmanned estates of green energy production require modern monitoring and control solutions to operate safely and efficiently.

Remote asset management

The ability to remotely connect to your control systems and generation plant allows you to adjust system operation, as well as monitor the health and production status of your unstaffed assets.

SCADA supervisory control & data-acquistion

Modern cloud-based, geo-distributed SCADA systems and Unified Operations Centres can serve as the core of your regional hubs or central control rooms. They can also enable field-based staff to view asset performance from anywhere in the world.

Personalised dashboards, chart recorders, historians, alarm management, load-sharing, and production balancing are just some of the benefits of SCADA systems and Unified Operations Centres.

Integrated solutions for energy parks

Developers are now building energy parks that combine multiple renewable energy sources — wind turbines, solar farms, and battery energy storage systems — and in some cases EV charging stations. These parks require advanced systems integration to balance power flows and unify data from packaged plant supplied by multiple vendors.

Support for legacy gas power plants

Gas power plants still play a role, and new CHP (combined heat and power) plants continue to be installed. With substantial experience in both modern and legacy control systems, inControl Systems provides global support for integration services, upgrades, and refurbishment projects.

Our expertise in digital systems integration — and our experience working with a wide range of control system suppliers — positions inControl Systems as a strong partner for centralised control and remote monitoring solutions.

With a large team of engineers experienced in power generation, we’ve delivered robust, cutting-edge control systems to plants across the world. Our solutions help ensure the reliable, efficient operation of electric power, bioenergy, and industrial power facilities of all sizes.
