Power Plant Controller (PPC)

The Hitachi Energy Power Plant Controller (PPC) monitoring and control solution is based on our solid experience as an energy integrator with a new vision, one that combines the use of specific control algorithms and the latest data processing technology. 

Improve control and performance
PPC improves ancillary services and large-scale plants with new control options to get the best from each plant source. Power management systems (PMS) are the best answer to the new challenges in hybridization and renewable power control. 

Comply with stringent regulations 
Leverage PPC’s quick dynamic response to enable advanced active power management in highly demanding environments (HAWAII-HECO, Puerto Rico-LUMA/PREPA, California-CAISO, Australia-GPS, Chile, Mexico, etc.). 

• Comply with the most stringent grid codes
• For any type of renewable power generation
• Meet tough interconnection requirements

Seamless Integration & Compatibility

• With power conditioning devices such as STATCOM and capacitor banks
   

Advanced Power Control Functions

• Ensure grid stability & reliability
   

Best Performance

• Maximize revenue while optimizing O&M costs
  
• Power balancing in BESS, being able to optimize ESS 

Reliability
Extra modules provide built-in redundancy for reliable operation.

Scalability
Adapted to diverse topologies of plants with different rated powers.

Flexibility
Multiple parameters, like client-configurable options, provide responsiveness to the grid code changes or updates.

Simplicity
A streamlined design ensures changes and upgrades are easy through the lifespan of the plant.

Modularity
Adaptable implementation of multiple control functions: voltage regulation, reactive power control, power factor control, etc.
