Emerson Ovation OCC100 controller

Emerson’s modular Ovation OCC100 controller extends the company’s Ovation control technology by managing the flow of energy from various sources to ensure continuous generation for utilities and independent power producers that rely on diverse renewable energy sources.

The controller offers remote monitoring and control capabilities for wind farms spread out over a wide geographic area and the ability to operate in the higher ambient temperatures associated with solar facilities. 

For microgrids, it provides a single point of control for performance optimisation. Similarly, the controller efficiently monitors and controls remote pump stations critical to collecting, treating, storing and distributing water to homes and businesses.

In addition to operating independently, the controller can be natively merged into a larger, Ovation-distributed control system offering greater visibility into plant-wide operations. The controller also features integrated wide-area technologies that allow it to control geographically dispersed equipment using cell or other wireless technology. This capability will help power generators harness the benefits of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). 

The controller collects and aggregates information about each wind turbine, then shares that data to provide intelligence about the entire wind farm. This intelligence can be assimilated with information about other facilities in the power-generating fleet.
