Sparksis and BayWa r.e.: A new partnership to implement the Ingrid Control solution

15 June 2020

BayWa r.e. is a world leader in the renewable energy sector, providing energy services and solutions. Active in France since 2005, the group is now a key player in the development, construction and operation of wind and solar power plants, with more than 260 MW installed and 500 MW in operation nationwide.

We are both delighted and proud to announce that BayWa r.e. has chosen Ingrid control as the control-command solution for one of its wind farms currently under construction.

The growing share of renewable energy in the electricity system coupled with the ongoing transition towards the sale of electricity produced on the market, requires new digital operational management tools.

Indeed, an increasing volume of production data must be collected and exchanged with the various stakeholders, from producers, aggregators, grid operators and maintenance service providers.

The Ingrid Control solution offers producers & operators a whole host of new services, including, centralised hypervision and power plant management, production forecasts, production flexibility to manage grid congestion and negative market prices, combining single on-line schedules for maintenance operations and automated data exchange with API’s.

“Technological innovation is central to our business at BayWa r.e. That’s why we’ve equipped our wind farms with high-performance tools with cutting edge of technology to ensure optimal operation and management! We’re delighted to working with Sparksis to test the automated Ingrid control system features, especially to meet future challenges in the electricity market”, said BayWa re France Engineering Manager, Michaël Monnier.

Many thanks to BayWa r.e. France and its Construction & Operation Team for being one of the first operators to commit to the Ingrid control solution.

Ingrid control connects your RE power plants to the market and the grid.
