Malaysian Photovoltaic Trade Affiliation (MPIA) has right now launched a Knowledge Assortment System (DCS) Platform following the help granted by the Power Fee (ST) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). This may help the expansion of the photo voltaic photovoltaic trade with a sooner set up interval and decrease value.
The DCS Platform has been established as a substitute for the Supervisory Management and Knowledge Acquisition (SCADA) system, which is an information monitoring requirement beneath the Distribution Code enforced by ST for photo voltaic PV methods with a capability of 1 megawatt and above.
It represents an economical choice for monitoring the facility generated by the mills to the grid whereas being appropriate with the TNB grasp management station. As DCS’s upkeep service is included within the yearly subscription price, the overall value over 25 years is round 60% decrease than the standard SCADA system which includes a one-off fee and subsequent annual upkeep prices.
President of MPIA, Mr. Davis Chong Chun Shiong stated, “We’re happy to introduce the DCS Platform because it signifies MPIA’s dedication in enhancing the information assortment of the photo voltaic PV methods put in in Malaysia. Other than a decrease implementation value for photo voltaic PV customers, the DCS helps a sooner supply time as knowledge will probably be transmitted on to our Knowledge Concentrator Unit (DCU) and subsequently the TNB grasp management station. With that, the DCS will solely require round three weeks of supply time as in comparison with SCADA often takes as much as 2 months.”
“To develop an economical various to SCADA, now we have been working with ST in acquiring approval for DCS venture implementation, looking for clarification from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Fee (MCMC) on licensing necessities, in addition to tackling attainable cybersecurity issues with TNB’s Data expertise (IT) specialists. Trying forward, we attempt to enterprise into extra technological improvements in making photo voltaic PV extra value aggressive. This may promote the adoption of photo voltaic PV as a sustainable supply of electrical energy provide in Malaysia,” Mr. Davis added.
Energy system automation resolution supplier, Grid Imaginative and prescient T&D Sdn. Bhd. (Grid Imaginative and prescient) is concerned within the design, provide, set up, check, and fee, in addition to the operation and upkeep of the DCS Platform.
