From concept and control philosophy through commissioning and long-term support, we cover the full lifecycle of the control, monitoring, and automation layer on your plant.
Every service is built around the same goals: plant availability, grid-code compliance, operational visibility, and long-term reliability. Explore each area to see what's included and when it fits.
Custom and pre-engineered power plant controllers (PPC) for solar, BESS, hybrid, and other renewable plants — covering active/reactive power dispatch, ramp-rate control, and coordination across inverters, trackers, and substation equipment.
Any grid-connected renewable plant above the threshold for grid-code control. Especially critical for utility-scale sites, mixed-vendor inverter fleets, and projects with tight compliance deadlines.
Generic, off-the-shelf PPCs struggle with real-site complexity — multiple inverter brands, hybrid topologies, non-standard substation layouts. We deliver a controller that matches the plant as built.
Unified SCADA and HMI platforms that aggregate inverters, trackers, weather stations, metering, and substation data into one operator view — on-site, cloud, or hybrid deployment.
Every operating plant needs SCADA. You need Setcon's when you're fighting fragmented dashboards, poor alarm discipline, or can't get useful historical data out of the system you have.
Operators can't act on what they can't see. We design SCADA around the operator's actual workflow — prioritised alarms, clear navigation, fast historians, and the reports your team actually uses.
Design and testing of the control functions that prove your plant meets the relevant grid code — active/reactive power, frequency response, voltage regulation, fault ride-through, and dispatch interfaces.
Before energisation, during grid-code compliance testing, and any time the code is revised or your connection agreement changes.
Grid-code failures at commissioning stall revenue and erode utility trust. We engineer compliance from the control philosophy up — not as a last-mile patch — so first-pass approval is the expected outcome.
Smart dispatch strategies, storage co-ordination, curtailment management, and performance tuning that extract more usable energy out of the assets already on site.
Once the plant is operating and you're asking — or your shareholders are asking — why actual yield doesn't match the P50.
A plant that passes compliance isn't necessarily earning what it could. We look at dispatch behaviour, curtailment patterns, BESS cycling, and tracker algorithms to close the gap between “working” and “optimal.”
Bringing ageing or under-spec control systems up to current engineering, compliance, and cyber-security standards — without rebuilding the plant.
When obsolete hardware is risking downtime, when grid code changes have outpaced your installed controller, or when a buyer / lender requires modernised controls as part of due diligence.
Legacy PLCs and SCADA systems become expensive liabilities. We migrate logic, replace hardware, and harden communications with minimum-downtime strategies tested on live sites.
On-site commissioning, factory and site acceptance testing, operator training, and ongoing technical support agreements — with remote response options tailored to each plant.
At energisation, at every major system change, and continuously through the life of the plant.
A control system is only as good as its handover and what happens after. We bridge design intent and operational reality, then stay available for the years that follow — not just the warranty period.
Whichever service you engage us for, the path is the same — scoped, engineered, tested, and supported.
Plant topology, inverter fleet, grid connection, operational goals. We design around what's real, not assumed.
Control philosophy, I/O architecture, SCADA layout, cyber-security, and grid-code logic — documented and reviewable.
Panel build, PLC / RTU programming, HMI development, and factory acceptance testing before anything leaves the workshop.
On-site SAT, grid-code compliance testing, operator training, and a long-term support agreement tailored to your site.
Whether it's a new build, a retrofit, or a performance review — start with a technical conversation.
