DNV GL is providing a monitoring solution for the under-construction 500MW Nunez de Balboa solar farm in Spain.
The company’s GreenPowerMonitor has been selected to provide GPM SCADA management, allowing each device of the solar plant to be controlled individually and extract energy production data in real-time.
The project is being developer by Iberdrola group in Usagre, Badajoz.
DNV GL acquired GreenPowerMonitor in June 2016, uniting its existing expertise in wind energy data with GreenPowerMonitor’s digital solar solutions.
GreenPowerMonitor is managing almost 30GW of solar and wind energy in over 72 countries globally, the company said.
GreenPowerMonitor chief executive Juan Carlos Arevalo said: “Participating in the first photovoltaic macro project of Iberdrola in Spain is a responsible act.
“The Nunez de Balboa solar project will help in moving forward the energy transition for a greener future; in such a context, digitalization will be the key factor for the right development of renewable assets.
“It is a privilege for us that Iberdrola opted for solar energy in Spain.”
