Logica Launches Renewable Energy Management System in North America
Logica is a leading innovator in wind farm management technology in Europe. This year, the business and technology service company will launch its Renewable Energy Management System (RMS) in North America.
RMS provides a scalable platform to support the business needs of operators with a large portfolio of wind energy production. It can control and manage all types of turbines from major manufacturers.
RMS is a fundamental building block that facilitates increasing levels of wind energy production on the grid. The solution interfaces with production forecasting, energy trading, metering, maintenance, and workforce management systems.
RMS has three primary components:
- A Wind Power Plant (WPP) component that connects with existing SCADA systems to receive real-time operational data from turbine generators, met towers and substations.
- The Dispatch Center that manages and controls operation of WPPs in real time across multiple geographies.
- Logica’s Performance Management module that evaluates operations based on predefined indicators and generates custom reports.
RMS provides improved control and visibility of turbine performance across multiple wind farms and allows 24/7 remote management. Its ability to measure and compute downtime using a vendor-independent platform allows benchmarking of both manufacturers and sites. All plant data is reported using standard corporate reporting toolsets. Operators can easily define performance targets for benchmarking purposes across the complete portfolio.
Currently, Logica’s RMS system manages 2 GW of installed production capacity.
