The backbone of secure and stable plant operation<\/h3>\n

Greentech's SCADA and IT concepts form the backbone for secure, grid-compliant, and transparent plant operation: We plan and implement the integration and connection of communication and control technology in line with plant design, electrical planning, and the requirements of grid operators and direct marketers.<\/p>\n

We ensure that operational and production data reach the relevant stakeholders in a usable form via a continuously stable internet connection and a secured VPN \u2013 including a GDPR-compliant, individual user and access concept, and remote access where required for control.<\/p>\n

This creates a coordinated interplay of communication, metering\/measurement, control, and protection \u2013 serving as a conclusive basis for required verifications such as plant certificates and conformity declarations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Our IT & SCADA concept<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Two pillars, one goal: robust, secure, and fully documented plant communication \u2013 from the network base to power plant control. <\/p>\n

For PV, wind, BESS, and substation components to interact reliably, we view communication and control as an overall system. We bundle requirements from operations, direct marketing, grid operators, and EPC, translate them into a clear technical architecture, and maintain consistent interfaces, responsibilities, and documentation throughout. This results in a solution that runs stably in everyday use \u2013 and remains manageable in case of changes or disruptions. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n

IT concept \u2013 the network foundation of your power plant or BESS system<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

We create a powerful, fail-safe, and consistently protected network infrastructure for your PV, wind, BESS, or SS project. All relevant systems are reliably connected, cleanly separated, and controllably accessible \u2013 regardless of whether it concerns monitoring, service access, or the connection of external partners. The result is a clear network structure that can grow with the project and forms the basis for secure operation. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Router & internet connection<\/strong>: Design of a site-appropriate connection including redundancy options, so that the plant remains accessible even under difficult conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Firewall & network segmentation<\/strong>: Separation of communication areas (e.g., operational management vs. video\/security) and clear rules on where data goes. This reduces risks and simplifies operation and troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Network distribution<\/strong>: Structured, plant-specific design of network distribution \u2013 including redundancy where it makes sense for availability and operational safety.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Remote access & authorization concept<\/strong>: Defined access for operators, O&M, direct marketers, or other stakeholders \u2013 with traceable roles and permissions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Documentation of the IT structure<\/strong>: Network overviews and device structure as a basis for acceptance, operation, and later adjustments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

SCADA concept \u2013 control, supervision, and data management<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Our SCADA system forms the central control center for your project. It combines power plant control, system supervision, and data management into a continuous overall system, ensures grid conformity, and supports secure connection and stable power marketing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Power plant control & interfaces<\/strong>: Conception of the control logic and the necessary interfaces to the grid\/market \u2013 tailored to the project constellation. We also implement hybrid control concepts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Measurement & data points\u00a0 (signal\/data model)<\/strong>: Definition of relevant measured values and status signals (incl. integration of sensors \/ weather \/ station signals), so that monitoring, analyses, and verifications run on a consistent data basis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Manufacturer-independent data acquisition<\/strong>: Structure for how data from different components are combined and provided in a standardized way \u2013 instead of isolated solutions per manufacturer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Availability & redundancy (where sensible)<\/strong>: Conception of stability\/redundancy aspects for critical functions to avoid downtimes and operational interruptions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>

Optional security\/peripheral integration<\/strong>: Integration of, for example, camera\/security signals into the overall architecture \u2013 without overloading operational management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

When are our IT and SCADA solutions<\/span>\u00a0useful?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

If you are designing a new plant<\/h3>

If communication and control are cleanly structured from the outset, subsequent rework and expensive compromises in operation can be avoided. Interfaces to grid operators and direct marketers can be considered early on \u2013 including documentation that is reliable for financing and later transactions. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

If you want to set up a secure and reliable communication system (new or existing) <\/h3>

A professionally designed SCADA and IT setup protects against unauthorized access and reduces the risk of operational interruptions. At the same time, it creates clear responsibilities and a structure that is quickly understandable in case of service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

If remote monitoring, remote control, or direct marketing need to function smoothly <\/h3>

Direct marketing and remote control requirements place specific expectations on availability and data provision. A well-thought-out SCADA and IT concept ensures that operational data and control signals reliably reach where they are needed. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

If grid connection, acceptances, or certification\/verification processes are pending<\/h3>

At the latest when verifications and acceptances are being prepared, communication and control technology must be consistently designed and documented. Early conceptualization helps to avoid queries and delays in project execution. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

If you want to expand or modify your plant <\/h3>

Adding storage, additional generation units, or changes to monitoring\/control technology require a review of the existing architecture. With a robust concept, new components can be integrated without unnecessarily disturbing ongoing operations. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

If a change of operator or direct marketer is imminent <\/h3>

When switching, access, interfaces, and data flows often change. A clear SCADA and IT structure with clean documentation makes the transition faster, more secure, and less error-prone. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

If you want to be prepared for increasing information security requirements<\/h3>

Requirements for information security and evidence management are increasing \u2013 even independently of formal thresholds. Those who set up the architecture robustly early on avoid frantic retrofitting under time pressure. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

For planned sale or refinancing<\/h3>

For buyers, investors, and banks, a traceable, well-documented communication and control structure is a mark of quality. It reduces queries in the due diligence process and builds confidence in the plant's operational capability. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

IT security & regulation \u2013 know requirements, plan future-proof systems<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Regulatory requirements for the IT security of energy plants are growing \u2013 and now affect far more operators than just a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Since 2017, power generation plants with a net rated output of 104 MW or more have been classified as Critical Infrastructure (CI). Since then, operators must maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS), report IT disruptions, and demonstrate comprehensive security measures.<\/p>\n

Since December 2025, the German NIS-2 Implementation Act significantly expands this scope: energy companies with 50 or more employees or an annual turnover of \u20ac10 million can now be obligated \u2013 regardless of installed capacity. A new aspect is the personal liability of management for violations.<\/p>\n

In parallel, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA, in force since December 2024, mandatory from December 2027) demands \"Security by Design\" at the product level: manufacturers of networked components \u2013 routers, power plant controllers, SCADA hardware \u2013 must demonstrate cybersecurity from the ground up and ensure it throughout the entire product lifecycle.<\/p>\n

We plan IT and SCADA systems to meet these requirements today \u2013 or to be scalable for them if needed. Specifically, this means:<\/p>\n
