Solar developer Cenergy announced it is now using NextWave’s custom data acquisition system (DAS) to monitor 529 MW of clean energy assets.
NextWave is supplying custom Class-A DAS and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) hardware to 37 Cenergy projects, including a 300-MW utility-scale project in California. NextWave’s monitoring will collect localized weather and energy performance data and provide Cenergy with access to energy performance monitoring and management.
On the utility-scale project, NextWave is also providing controls capabilities, allowing asset management teams remote access and control of the site as well as robust user management for all stakeholders.
The newly onboarded assets are located throughout the United States, primarily in Illinois, California and Maine, and range in size from 1.3 MW to 300 MW.
“NextWave’s engineering team brings a level of expertise and collaboration that’s hard to find in the monitoring space,” said Andrew B. Goldin, senior VP EPC at Cenergy. “From Day 1, they worked alongside our engineers to design a communication topology and DAS architecture that could meet complex utility and asset owner requirements. The custom SCADA solution they delivered addressed not only today’s expectations but also anticipated the evolving demands from ISOs and utilities for large-scale projects. Their ability to tailor solutions while maintaining compliance and schedule has made them a trusted extension of our team.”
