- Consolidated Technical Requirements: Trimark will consolidate telemetry, metering and instrument requirements into an actionable report.
- Engineering Studies and Modeling: Trimark can deliver required modeling (e.g. PSCAD, PSSE, PSLF/DYGEN) to enable detailed substation design and inform SCADA control strategies.
I need help with Requirements! -
Metering ConsultingMake informed decisions about SCME, compliance requirements,
equitable settlements, ongoing reporting, equitable loss assignment, and integration with control.
- Incentive/REC Feasibility: Trimark can help you assess options, plan incentive program participation, and help you register for Renewable Energy Credits.
- SCME vs. ISO ME SUPPORT: Trimark experts help you compare benefits and obligations of Scheduling Coordinator Metered Entity (SCME) and CAISO ME to help you make an informed decision.
- Meter/SCADA Feasibility Study: Meter data is critical input to accurate control. Trimark experts help you understand the possibilities, what is required, and how it integrates into a functional system.
- Meter Mitigation Study: If something goes wrong, our experts help you assess the root cause to support effective corrective actions, accurate settlement values, and maximum revenue.
- Complex Metering: Complex environments often require metering schemes to support equitable loss assignment. Trimark experts assess your situation and help you plan the right meter scheme for you (e.g. peer-to-peer, DLC, etc.).
- WEIM Participation: We help you understand requirements and contractual obligations for Participating and non-Participating Resources and/or Entities in the Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM).

Expert Perspective
Why does their job matter? Trimark team members explain.Resource owners want to reduce risk, avoid penalties, and maximize revenue. My role is to help customers gain peace of mind and operate confidently in accomplishing their mission.
Tom Short
Chief Operations Support OfficerI develop control software that simplifies the operation of utility-scale solar power generation and energy storage. That’s key to making renewable energy stable, reliable, and viable – which is how we’ll save the world.
Brian Buhl
Principal Software EngineerTo 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.
Stephen Yee
Director of SCADA ControlsThe 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.
Vince Brashear
Director of Engineering and DesignOver 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.
