Expert Perspective

Why does their job matter? Trimark team members explain.

PV plant operators want a real time SCADA interface that shows exactly what their inverters are producing and what’s down. That’s actionable information they need to fix what’s broken, produce more power, and improve profits.

Rob Barrington

Senior Systems Integrator III

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.

Vince Brashear

Director of Design and Engineering

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.

Tom Noble

Engineering Project Manager II

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

Vice President of Consulting and Client Relations

To 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.

Director of SCADA Controls
