Maximize Revenue with High-Fidelity Controls and Built-In ADS/AGCBusiness and Operational Power – in One Smart Package
Renewable power resources are built to make money. That’s why we collaborate with independent power producers and resource owners to support business and operational requirements.
- Automate participation in energy markets with native functions to validate and execute requests for Automatic Generation Control (AGC), Automated Dispatch System (ADS), and/or ancillary services.
- Seamlessly integrate with business systems like Sprocket (asset management) and NetSuite (ERP).
-
View and Analyze Entire Portfolio in One Simple DashboardThe Right Information; Right at Your Fingertips
Vantage presents real time and historical information for your entire portfolio, all in one intuitive view. From there, you can drill in to assess performance of a resource or a specific device.
- Single pane view of portfolio, fleet, resource, or plant devices.
- Over 118 standard reports. Create and save customized reports.
- Realtime production trends.
- Customizable alarm definitions and alerts.
- Capture and historize 5-minute, 1-minute, or 1-second data for analysis and warranty support.

Meet Strict Requirements for Large Plant ControlControl PV and BESS with Pinpoint Precision
Vantage unifies control over PV and PV+BESS resources with a built-in Master Plant Controller and split-second execution. It’s the precision you need to meet PPA and LGIA requirements and help protect your assets.
- Meet exact setpoints at the point of interconnection.
- Automate control for Primary Frequency Response (PFR), Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), Voltage control (Volt-VAR), Power Factor, reactive power, and Shunt capacitor / reactor devices.
- Monitor and control inverters, BESS, trackers, breakers, cap banks, and protective relays.
- Monitor meters and meteorological instruments.
-
Master Plant ControlUnify Control of Complex Environments
Trimark’s Master Plant Controller (MPC) unifies control over hybrid and/or co-located PV and PV+Battery Energy Storage (BESS) resources. MPC functionality is designed to:
- Comply with LGIA limits and PPA requirements while maximizing revenue.
- Provide overload protection by managing real and reactive power flow between resources that share transformers.
- Manage and control reactive power (VAR) flow from each resource to deliver the necessary VARs at the Point of Delivery to comply with LGIA requirements.
- Manage and optimize VAR flow between hybrid or co-located PV/ BESS resources to maximize BESS apparent power capability, when available.

Expert Perspective
Why does their job matter? Trimark team members explain.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.
Brian Buhl
Principal Software EngineerLast 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.
Tom Noble
Director of Project EngineeringWe 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.
Russell Stansbury
Proposal ManagerThe 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 DesignI help users put Vantage to work for effective resource management. As a bridge between customers and our software team, I write documentation delivered on every system screen that explains Vantage functions such as controls and reporting. That answers most user’s questions right on the spot.
