Why does their job matter?
Trimark team members explain.
The systems we design are a small, but critical, part of power generation. We design the ‘brains’ that monitor and control each resource to be reliable and durable – in some very tough environments. I’m proud to do my part to leave a lasting benefit for society.
Over the last 20 years, we’ve helped over 900 resources navigate CAISO’s NRI. With owners building more utility-scale renewable generation nationwide they’re now asking Trimark to help them comply with PPA and interconnection requirements in ERCOT, MISO, ISO New England, NYSERDA – really anywhere that complex agreements require expert advice.
To avoid chaos and support grid reliability and stability, utility-scale resources must tightly manage Voltage, Frequency, NERC and LGIA requirements. Our control solution allows PV and BESS resources to safely connect to the grid, protect their expensive equipment, and bid into more market opportunities.
We start by understanding our client’s needs. One way we do this is by creating a system block diagram to show Trimark’s equipment and scope. Our customers often rely on our diagrams to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Last summer when temperatures topped 117 degrees and power demand reached a record 52 GW, California faced a real threat of blackouts. Our team worked nights and weekends to commission SCADA to control two BESS resources that added 227 MW of critical reserves just in time to help avoid a crisis.
