Simplify. Scale. Automate.
Ardexa's Unified Control Solution offers owner-operators a proven and cost-effective path to centralise, streamline and optimise remote power plant and asset control across heterogenous renewable energy portfolios.
HYPER-GROWTH CHALLENGE
Rapidly scaling renewable energy production is vital to achieving net-zero carbon emissions and mitigating the most devastating impacts of climate change. But hyper-growth is thwarted by increasing operational complexity and a chronically insufficient labor pool.
POWER PLANT CONTROL DIVERSITY
Local plant control decisions were typically made early in the life cycle by someone other than the current owner-operator. Large portfolio operators face many technical challenges and inefficiencies resulting from regular interaction with a variety of remote plant control systems.
INCREASING MARKET VOLATILITY
Grid curtailment caused by intermittent over-supply, the fluctuating day-ahead market, negative price events, increasing real-time price volatility, and the resulting adoption of battery energy storage systems have all led to skyrocketing control events, resulting in penalties and revenue losses for those that do not adapt.
OUR UNIFIED CONTROL SOLUTION
UNIFIES REMOTE OPERATIONS
Normalise both data collection and plant control signals within a centralised Remote Operations and Control Centre paves the way for process automation.
AVOIDS RIP & REPLACE
Ardexa's Unified Control Solution unlocks legacy SCADA offerings without requiring any changes or disruption to existing local plant SCADA, PLCs, or Power Plant Control systems.
HYPERSCALABLE
Ardexa's Digital Control Platform leverages cloud-native technology to cost-effectively support plant and portfolio sizes unimaginable today, yet essential to our future.
STREAMLINES AND AUTOMATES PROCESSES
Empower personnel to seamlessly interface with a variety of remote plant control systems while eliminating the need for logging into multiple remote systems through VPN connections or navigating disparate local HMIs.
SIMPLIFIES PRODUCTION SCHEDULING
Ardexa's Unified Control Solution reduces the complexity and business risk of manual production scheduling, live energy trading, and reacting to price or curtailment signals from grid operators.
CONNECTS AND CONTROLS ANY ASSET TYPE
Ardexa's Unified Control Solution unifies control across solar, wind, hydro as well as emerging technologies like hybrid, battery energy storage and green hydrogen.
ENABLES POWER PLANT AND ASSET LEVEL CONTROL
Ardexa translates encrypted ROC control signals into local plant actions including start, stop, reset, and setpoint changes for individual inverters, turbines, etc. as well as production control at the plant level.
PLUGS SEAMLESSLY INTO YOUR IT AND OT ECOSYSTEM
Access to Ardexa's library of ready-made Control Plugins enables rapid integration with any local plant control system. Modular platform with API integrations for energy trading, asset management, specialist EMS and other business systems.
