A2A SPA: Virtual Control Room
The Virtual Control Room is a project realized by A2A in collaboration with Factory Software and Alten to manage the entire Renewables Power Plants of the company, with the aim of monitoring and controlling the renewable power production of the company. The system is composed of various parts, from OT to IT, and allows real-time and near real-time data availability and usability of data from all plants. It enables operation and remote control, as well as monitoring, by uniting and simplifying the work of the remote control operators and asset managers, who are more focused on analysis and problem-solving. For each plant, both photovoltaic and wind, operators can monitor production, efficiency, availability and downtime, as well as detect anomalies and trends or situations that need to be managed such as parameters that deviate from expected range. The virtual control room platform has been implemented on the AVEVA System Platform (UOC) and currently manages about a hundred photovoltaic and wind plants, retrieving thousands of tags from the field. It is designed to support all future growth and additional renewable plants.
