Secure Connection to the Energy Transition

The main objective of the power generation and distribution industry is ensuring power supply safety and reliability. WAGO products provide the greatest degrees of safety and quality. We have a complete line of products from electrical interconnection technologies to automation solutions.

Operators of ecopower plants fiercely compete for the cheapest kilowatt hour and must pay attention to efficiency and low costs when installing their systems. They are also required to connect systems of a certain size to the control system of the grid operator so that they can be down-regulated remotely as required. That requires telecontrol communication.

Solar Farm Management: Photovoltaic Network-Friendly Control

To enable communication between electricity producers and grid operators, the operators of photovoltaic power plants revert to telecontrol protocols. WAGO Controllers provide a standardized and easy-to-use interface for users based on the IEC 60870-5-101/-103/-104, 61400-25, 61850-7-420 (Server/Client), MODBUS, DNP3 standards. Advantages of WAGO's telecontrol solution:

Direct communication between telecontrol system and power inverter or to solar system data logger
Separate ETHERNET interfaces permit the creation of parallel networks
Cybersecurity: Encryption that follows Europe's most stringent energy and security guidelines per BDEW and BSI
Cloud connectivity: Connection to the cloud thanks to an MQTT software upgrade
Password-protected Web-based management prevents unauthorized users from changing system settings

Free function blocks for expanded capabilities, e.g., data loggers and inverters
Implementing the respective grid operator's requirements for active power feed-in and reactive power supply
cos ϕ or Q/U control (reactive power control) according to the characteristic
Integration of external measurement systems from the medium voltage (network analysis devices, short circuit indicators, network and equipment protection) via Modbus TCP/RTU or other fieldbus protocols
Recording of low-voltage performance data via 3-phase power measurement module

Easy parameterization and configuration via visualization
Modular design: Digital, analog and specialty I/O modules can be combined within a node
Select from more than 500 different I/O modules
Parameterization/configuration via Web visualization
Programming per IEC 61131-3
Integrated mobile radio modem

Data Transmission via the Internet

You can control, monitor, maintain and run diagnostics on your decentralized machines and systems around the globe using the PFC200 Controller with 3G modem – safely, economically and without cables. Modern data networks take over the routing, communication, and delivery of data packets.

Connection Technology: Safe, Simple Installation

In assembling a photovoltaic system, safe, simple installation is decisive. WAGO enables both: With the comprehensive TOPJOB® S Rail-Mount Terminal Blocks, photovoltaic lines are reliably and permanently connected. Disconnect and fuse terminal blocks with high voltage resistance securely isolate photovoltaic generators from inverters. Additional solutions like blocking diodes round out the offering.
