SLDC Telemetry System
Pacemaker Energy supplies SLDC or RLDC RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) for Solar Parks. These RTUs play a critical role in providing real-time data and communication between the solar park and the State Load Dispatch Center (SLDC) or Regional Load Dispatch Center (RLDC). They help ensure efficient grid management and operational coordination. If you need more details on their features or functions, just let me know!
An SLDC (State Load Dispatch Centre) Telemetry System for a solar plant is designed to provide real-time data and monitoring capabilities to the SLDC, which is responsible for grid management and load dispatch. This system ensures that the solar plant's performance and data are effectively communicated to the SLDC for operational coordination and grid stability.
1. Real-Time Data Transmission :
- Energy Generation : Provides continuous data on the amount of energy being generated by the solar plant.
- Operational Status : Sends real-time information on the operational status of solar panels, inverters, and other key components.
2. Data Integration :
- System Integration : Integrates with existing SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems to provide a comprehensive view of the plant’s performance.
- Data Formats : Supports various data formats and protocols for compatibility with SLDC systems, such as Modbus, OPC, or DNP3.
3. Performance Monitoring :
- Efficiency Metrics : Tracks performance metrics such as efficiency, capacity factor, and system availability.
- Fault Detection : Monitors for faults and operational issues, sending alerts to both the solar plant operators and the SLDC.
