Power Plant Controller for Solar Plants

Plant-level power control for exporting solar plants. Curtailment is applied as a controlled ceiling on active power rather than as a protection trip, so the plant stays inside its sanctioned export without dropping off. Instructions are executed and deviations recorded in the operator's required format and timing, and monthly compliance and lender reporting is generated automatically.

What EMS-PPC is

Ingro EMS-PPC is a power plant controller for exporting solar plants. It holds the plant to its export limit and to operator setpoints, logs generation per inverter and per block, and produces the scheduling and compliance reports required at the connection point.

Add storage and the same plant can firm its own output. That is a different configuration on the same controller.

What it does for the business

The Outcomes EMS-PPC Delivers

Export limit and operator setpoints maintained through curtailment control, without protection trips.

Generation logged per inverter and per block, so shortfalls are located, not estimated.

Instructions executed and deviations recorded in the operator's required format.

Monthly compliance and lender reporting, generated automatically.

Common questions

EMS-PPC, Answered

What does a power plant controller do on a solar plant?

It holds the plant to the limits and setpoints agreed at the connection point. The controller issues an active-power ceiling to the inverters so export stays within the sanctioned value, executes the operator's instructions and records deviations in the required format and timing, and logs generation per inverter and per block for performance analysis.

How is curtailment applied without tripping the plant?

As a controlled ceiling rather than a disconnection. The curtailment ceiling is an active-power limit issued to the array, so output is held down to the permitted value and the plant continues to run — instead of protection acting and the plant coming off entirely.

Can a solar plant controller also manage storage?

Yes. Adding storage lets the same plant firm its own output, and that is a configuration of the same controller rather than a different product. Standalone tendered storage at a substation is the EMS-GS configuration.

Scope of delivery

Four Elements, Quoted as One Item

Every configuration is delivered the same way: the controller installed and commissioned, the app, a monthly report pack for finance, lenders and auditors, and training for the operating team — all included in the delivered price.

1

The controller

Wired, configured and commissioned against your plant, and installed in the plant room. It is the component that operates the site.

2

The operator console

A single-line representation of the actual plant with live power on every feeder, the state of each source, the alarm register, and the endurance available at the load currently being carried.

3

The mobile view

Read-only, for management rather than operations: whether the site is sound, what it has saved, what has occurred and what is scheduled.

4

Reporting and training

The reporting suite, generated and distributed automatically, and instruction for the personnel who will operate the plant.

Runs autonomously

Site control continues with no internet connection — the controller operates the plant from the plant room.

Equipment-agnostic

Integrates any make of inverter, battery, converter or generator. A model not previously encountered is added as configuration.

Expands by licence

Adding an asset is a configuration change, not new hardware.

The Same Platform, Configured Differently

Four Answers, and We Scope Your Plant

We return a scope of supply, an equipment schedule and an indicative programme, written against the outcomes you set.

What is on site today

Generation, storage, standby generation and the connection, as they stand today.

What is already ordered

Anything ordered or contractually committed; anything still open, we can specify.

The outcomes required

The energy bill, the fuel, continuity of production, or all three, in order of priority.

The utility connection

Remaining, being withdrawn, or never present. This determines how much of the night storage is required to own, and how the plant is sized.
