Renewable Energy SCADA Delivery

A renewable and hybrid energy operator required SCADA engineering support across project delivery, commissioning, documentation, training and handover activities. The scope included SCADA delivery for their wind farms in Esperance and Kathleen Valley, WA, covering system development, configuration, site implementation, commissioning support, troubleshooting and operational readiness. A separate SCADA audit and documentation rebuild was also completed for a brownfield wind farm already in operation. This involved comparing legacy project files against the implemented plant system, identifying gaps and rebuilding a usable delivery baseline for future maintenance, upgrades and operational support.

• Delivered SCADA engineering support from design through to FAT, SAT, commissioning and handover
• Developed and updated SCADA configuration and operator interface elements
• Supported site implementation, troubleshooting and commissioning activities
• Produced and updated technical documentation, including functional descriptions, as-built drawings, network topology information and communications point lists
• Completed a SCADA audit by comparing legacy project files with the implemented plant system
• Rebuilt a usable documentation and delivery baseline for future support
• Provided client training and operational readiness support
• Developed Python-based tools to streamline file management and automate monthly performance reporting, including recovery of a previously dormant reporting workflow

• Improved SCADA delivery quality and commissioning readiness
• Improved operator visibility and plant monitoring support
• Created a more reliable documentation baseline for future maintenance and upgrades
• Improved handover quality through updated technical records and client training
• Reduced manual reporting effort through automation of performance reporting workflows
• Improved long-term supportability of the SCADA environment
