Solar SCADA
Monitor and manage performance for a site, an entire portfolio of sites, and site devices with Trimark’s SCADA. Trimark married advanced SCADA functions with intuitive analytical tools to meet both operational and business needs of resource owners, operators, and maintenance teams.Read More 
Vantage PV+Storage Control
Vantage is used to present a site’s collected data stored in the Historian. Users can access and customize an unlimited set of dashboards to view a site’s performance and device status in real time, analyze historical trends, and track alarms. Vantage combines excellent technical functionality with innovative business functions to manage site equipment and power production. This goes beyond operational activity and supports analysis and improvement of financial performance.Read More
SCADA Performance Management
Trimark’s powerful SCADA does more than just collect and present data. It integrates advanced SCADA functions with intuitive analytical tools to meet the operational, performance, and business needs of resource owners, operators, asset managers, and maintenance teams. It turns data into actionable information, enabling informed decision-making to optimize power generation and maximize profits. Performance Management unlocks the real value of SCADA – enhanced understanding of what the data means. Performance management confirms that all of the equipment at a site is performing at the expected levels and drives actions that deliver expected financial results.Read More
Data Gateway
Trimark Data Gateway (TDG) is an environmentally hardened, industrial computer that provides connectivity and communications to connect intelligent field devices, such as inverters, RTUs, revenue meters, and meteorological stations with the Trimark SCADA system. TDG eliminates the need for separate, single purpose devices for data telemetry and data logging. It is built from rugged components to ensure reliability in extreme weather.Read More
Microgrids
To support energy reliability, security, and independence, Trimark's Microgrid Control (MGC) solution unifies management of generation resources, loads, and protective equipment. Trimark's solution maintains equilibrium by continuously monitoring the state of the grid and coordinating commands across appropriate subsystems to accomplish your desired microgrid strategy - safely, automatically, and effectively.Read More
California ISO (CAISO) is a regulatory organization tasked with monitoring, metering, and balancing the electrical system within participating regions of California and Nevada. Electrical wholesale generation entities and Qualifying Facilities (QF) must procure and install metering and data telemetry equipment to communicate with and connect to SCADA and MV-90 systems using CAISO’s energy communication network (ECN).
Balancing the amount and quality of power carried on the transmission grid is a primary mission of CAISO. Revenue meters measure the quality and quantity of power entering and exiting the transmission grid, establishing a precise basis for settling payments. CAISO also monitors real time data for each generation resource through a Remote Intelligent Gateway (RIG). A RIG sends control commands that ensure grid stability and prevent circuit overloading.
CAISO New Resource Integration
Whether you are a planning a new resource, applying as a Qualifying Facility, or simply need to replace a revenue meter, Trimark is here to guide you to successful completion of the NRI process. We will ensure you cover all requirements for meters, Trimark Remote Intelligent Gateways (RIGs) and meteorological equipment.Read More
CAISO Remote Intelligent Gateway
In California, resource owners must provide real-time production data and plant status to California Independent System Operator (CAISO). Trimark’s Remote Intelligent Gateway (RIG) is a CAISO-accredited gateway that fulfills the data telemetry functions required to participate in California’s electric markets.Read More
Scheduling Coordinator Metered Entity
CAISO requires that resource owners select a Meter Data Management Agency (MDMA) to submit Settlement Quality Meter Data (SQMD) on behalf of the Scheduling Coordinator (SC). This is in lieu of the former requirement to provide a certified and inspected revenue meter from which CAISO would process settlement quality revenue data directly.Read More
Revenue grade meters are the cash registers of the electric industry. Meters capture power production data that determines revenue settlement payments. To maximize revenue, meters must be properly configured, so it literally pays to get it right.

Complex System Losses
The complexity of meter configurations has increased dramatically over the years. When multiple resources share a common transformer and/or common bus to the Point of Revenue Settlement, more complex solutions are required to accurately apportion system losses. Trimark has developed multiple methodologies to address complex metering for accurate system loss compensation: peer-to-peer metering, individual meter compensation adjustments, and Trimark Dynamic Loss Compensator.Read More
