Customer Challenges
The rapid expansion of distributed energy resources — solar, wind, storage, and hybrid plants — is accelerating the transition to a decentralized energy system. Yet this shift introduces operational, grid, and cybersecurity challenges that can undermine reliability and performance.
Operational Complexity
Multi-technology portfolios often rely on fragmented systems and manual workflows, limiting visibility and slowing decisions.
Grid Stability & Compliance
Intermittent generation and tighter grid constraints require accurate forecasting, coordinated control, and adherence to evolving grid codes.
Asset Performance, Operation & Maintenance Efficiency
Underperformance, downtime, and inefficient maintenance strategies reduce production and raise costs.
Growing OT Cybersecurity Exposure
Critical infrastructures face increasing cyber threats, with limited OT [Operation Technology] visibility creating gaps in protection and compliance.
Regulatory & Decarbonization Pressure
Achieving clean-energy targets while maintaining reliability and optimized operations is increasingly difficult.Without the right ecosystem of solutions to address these challenges, organizations risk reduced production, escalating OPEX, grid non-compliance, security breaches, and delays in achieving renewable energy and sustainability objectives.

Resources
- The STARDOM network-based control system and FA-M3 range-free controllers play an important role in smoothing out the supply of this power to the grid
- STARDOM and FA-M3 ensure smooth supply of power to grid by wind farm equipped with large-capacity NAS batteries
- Yokogawa participated in Japan's largest wind power plant construction project.
- The comprehensive solution including SCADA system provides safe and secure remote operation.
TSE proposed to customer a floating solar PV system that floats in water storage pond, cooling ponds, and wastewater ponds in the plant.
Yokogawa's CI Server and FA-M3 PLC contribute to the production of clean power for the plant.
Industrial hydrogen fuel cells can be used to produce hydrogen and oxygen from distilled water as well as run in reverse to generate electricity. Fuel cells can also be used in conjunction with intermittent energy sources like solar or wind to provide regulated continuous energy output.
Geothermal power plants create electricity from geothermal energy. These power plants are similar to other steam turbine station; however their heat source is that of the earth's core. The created steam is used to turn the turbine for the production of electricity. Technologies include Dry steam, Flash steam and Binary cycle power stations with Binary cycle being the most common geothermal plant in current production. In the process of geothermal power generation the facility needs to monitor various processes, as in this case steam line pressure sits in remote from control room's location.
With industrial and economic development comes increasingly large and advanced power plants and factories. Nevertheless, we find many cases where the original cables, cable tunnels, and other components of the power infrastructure have languished under continuous operation.
A manufacturer of lime using an Allen-Bradley Series 5 PLC wanted local data viewing and network connectivity. The PLC was wired directly to a rotary kiln and measured kiln temperature, pressure, rotary speed and material feed rate.
