We are thrilled to announce the recent release of Ingrid Control Box (ICB) version 2.1! This update brings a multitude of new features to further enhance the management and control of power plants. Here’s an overview of what’s new:
New Features
- Turbine Data Reporting via OPCUA: Data from turbines by Vestas and Nordex can now be reported using the OPCUA protocol, facilitating smoother integration and improved monitoring. 🌍
- Plant Control by Aggregator via OPCUA: This version also allows aggregators to control the plant using the OPCUA protocol, providing greater flexibility and better management of energy resources.
- Turbine Control via Modbus TCP/IP: Vestas and Nordex turbines can now be controlled via the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, offering an additional option for equipment control.
- Configurable Alarms: Alarms can be set to signal the end of a DEIE event, ensuring proactive incident management. 🚨
- New Park Decoupling Logic: A new decoupling approach has been adopted to preserve the integrity of HTA cells and turbines, enhancing the safety and stability of installations.
- Compatibility with Diris A30: ICB can now bypass traditional protection relays to monitor HTA network data in real-time thanks to compatibility with the Diris A30 measurement unit, improving monitoring accuracy and reliability.
These new features make ICB an even more powerful tool for power plant management, offering advanced control and monitoring options for optimal performance.
