Trimark Products • Solar Data Gateway
OVERVIEW
Trimark Associates, Inc. (Trimark) is a proven firm with expertise in bringing utility-scale solar plants into compliance with CAISO’s metering and telemetry requirements, including the Participating Intermittent Resource Program (PIRP).
Trimark collects all real-time data required by CAISO and the utility directly from the Solar Data Gateway on an hourly basis using the Trimark RIG Aggregation Server (RAS). Data from each Gateway will be evaluated, validated and processed through encrypted data channels to CAISO. That data will also be available for presentation to each client or other stakeholder via the Trimark Power Viewer Web Service Trimark Solar Data Gateway (SDG):
In order to reliably communicate to each solar installation, Trimark offers Solar Data Gateway (SDG) System with interfaces to the revenue metering, the reference cells, inverters, meteorological stations and to the plant SCADA. The gateways can be configured with the following major components:
- Trimark’s Solar Data Gateway system to store and forward the interval meter data, inverter performance and status information as well as reference cell data
- Industrial style ADSL router
- Reference cell for measuring irradiance and cell temperature to provide an independent Modbus data feed for the Power Viewer application
Our Data Gateway is UL rated and housed in an electrical enclosure with clearly labeled connectors for the customer’s Cat 5 cable and for the Current and Voltage connections. Power for the electronic devices will be established from a 120 VAC connection to the electric service.
