Request a QuoteTrimark’s end-to-end solutions help resource owners and EPCs overcome the challenges of connecting to, and participating in, the electric power market. Our solutions may combine products to meet the objective. The following tabs provide information about these building blocks.
Trimark’s Vantage SCADA platform is a utility-scale control and monitoring solution designed to maximize revenue of utility-scale PV, battery storage, and PV+BESS resources.
Vantage integrates the advanced control functions and monitoring capabilities that resource owners need to optimize operations, automate report generation, meet PPA performance requirements, maximize profits, and support asset management.
Trimark’s RIG fulfills CAISO’s requirement to participate in California’s electric markets.
Trimark delivers RIG solutions on ruggedized Trimark Data Gateway or SEL RTAC platforms. Trimark’s turnkey RIG includes a computer, software, design, testing, configuration, installation, and certification. Trimark’s RIG is scalable and supports NERC CIP compliance.
Trimark’s RIG meets CAISO RIG requirements including:
Trimark builds complete MET stations to your specifications and PPA requirements. We start by using instruments that meet accuracy requirements and our standards for reliability. Then our team designs, procures, assembles, configures, installs, and commissions the complete system.

MET stations are typically included in Trimark’s end-to-end SCADA solution.
Field Network Equipment (AKA network drop) bridge between intelligent devices (e.g. inverters, RIG, meter, MET stations) and the fiber network. They’re like onramps to the freeway that transmit data to the SCADA server and RIG. Typically, one network drop is required for each inverter skid (in a PV plant). Network drops typically include:
The fiber patch panel is separate from the network drop. The EPC or its fiber contractor typically provides patch panels as part of the fiber network scope.
Network Equipment is typically included in Trimark’s SCADA solution.
Trimark’s assembles computer cabinets to protect critical computer, network, and security equipment from harsh environmental conditions and cyber threats.
Our cabinet assembly is designed to be mounted on a standalone concrete pad. If your site has a conditioned computer building, we can install the cabinet within the building or install just the equipment into existing shelving.

Server Cabinets and/or associated equipment are part of Trimark’s SCADA solution.
Metering cabinets provide security and environmental protection for revenue meters. The cabinet can be provided in a variety of sizes depending on the number of meters required. Trimark assembles, wires, and bench tests each cabinet before shipping to the site. The Meter Cabinet includes:
Meter Cabinets are included in Trimark’s Metering solution.
Trimark Services are designed to help you plan smart so you can operate effectively. We start by understanding your goals.

To help you anticipate and avoid common challenges, our experts provide practical advice you need to make a smart start. We can help you develop and deploy the computing and technologies required to support utility-scale renewable generation, energy storage, and microgrid projects. Services include:
Trimark provides expert guidance to help you navigate CAISO’s New Resource Implementation (NRI) process and schedule. We have successfully guided more than 900 resources through CAISO’s requirements.
Trimark delivers turnkey revenue metering solutions for compliance, settlements, incentive programs, and renewable energy credits (RECs). Trimark’s end-to-end metering solutions meet the criteria for to have CAISO read meters and process data. Trimark’s solution includes:
Resources may participate in the market as a Scheduling Coordinator Metered Entity (SCME). This requires that they complete an SQMD Plan, conduct a bi-annual audit, and re-certify their meters. This solution is especially well suited to resources in generation environments that require complex metering (e.g. DLC) to account for losses. Trimark’s solution includes:
As a Meter Data Management Agent (MDMA), Trimark is authorized to collect, validate and report Settlement Quality Meter Data (SQMD) for resource owners, utilities, ISOs, and incentive programs.
Trimark reads meter data via MV-90 then applies standard Validation, Estimation, and Editing (VEE) protocols.
Once validated, meter data is delivered for use in performance management, financial settlements (e.g. SCME), and compliance.
Trimark provides nationwide service support, proactive monitoring, and a 24/7 call center. With our comprehensive client care services, we can troubleshoot your equipment issues – even if we did not install your products.
When your CAISO RIG or ECN connection isn’t working properly, it can be expensive.
Trimark’s realtime monitoring buys time to correct issues, avoid penalties and continue market participation. Benefits of realtime monitoring include:
With realtime monitoring, if there’s trouble with the RIG, ECN, or meter points you’ll be the first one to know.
Many PV resources are adding battery storage to provide more market opportunities at more times of the day.
But these power purchase agreements come with contractual obligations – like ensuring secure communications to accept and respond to dispatch commands 24/7/365.
Trimark offers a service option for 18-hour and 24-hour telephone support to help you identify, troubleshoot and address issues that could result in lost revenue or penalties if not resolved or reported.

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.
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.
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.
I 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.
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.
