en.Wedoany.com Reported - TGS, through its Prediktor division, will provide the PowerView Plant SCADA solution for Scatec's Grootfontein solar project in South Africa, supporting the reliable operation and centralized monitoring of three large-scale photovoltaic power plants. Located near Ceres and Touws River in the Western Cape province, the Grootfontein project consists of three solar power plants with a total installed capacity of 225 MWAC (273 MWp), connected to the national grid operated by Eskom.

The project's Prediktor PowerView platform enables real-time monitoring, control, and performance management of the entire facility. The platform integrates operational data from the plant's infrastructure, including inverters, trackers, substations, weather stations, and metering systems, providing operators with a unified operational view.

The system collects and records high-resolution operational data, supporting local plant monitoring as well as centralized reporting across Scatec's asset portfolio. Equipment data is captured and aggregated at high frequency for operational analysis, alarm management, and long-term performance tracking.

The PowerView architecture enables operators to effectively monitor plant performance, analyze production metrics, and manage alarms and events through an integrated web portal and reporting environment. The platform also supports advanced operational reporting, covering production analysis, availability tracking, and performance ratio calculations to support ongoing asset management.

The Grootfontein SCADA system integrates various plant equipment through industry-standard communication protocols and supports plant control functions, including inverter operations, tracker control, and substation switching systems, while maintaining security authentication and complete operational traceability.

"Projects like Grootfontein demonstrate the critical role of digital infrastructure in scaling up global renewable energy," said Will Ashby, Executive Vice President of Business Development at TGS. "By providing operators with unified access to operational data and performance insights, solutions like PowerView enable more efficient plant operations and more informed decision-making across a growing portfolio of renewable energy assets."

The solution supports Scatec's operations team in maintaining efficient and reliable solar power generation by providing centralized visibility into plant operations and equipment performance, while meeting grid and regulatory requirements.
