Successful Grid Integration.
Sooner

Minimize your risk, complexity and costs by integrating
your PV & storage power plant with the wholesale grid
with proven Merit products and services.

Expertise is critical.  That's why you need a trusted integration partner. That partner is Merit.

Integrating utility-scale photovoltaic (solar) and storage power plants with the wholesale grid presents a number of complex challenges. 

The process requires sophisticated coordination between photovoltaic (PV) generation, storage systems, and grid operations.  The inherent risks in building utility-scale PV and storage power plants necessitates innovative solutions that enhance productivity, expedite project completion, and ensure compliance with ISO standards on the first attempt.

Solutions

When it comes to integrating PV & storage plants with the wholesale grid, Merit sets the standard. From turnkey control systems to power plant modeling services to retrofit projects, Merit delivers streamlined, integrated solutions.

Power Plant Controller

The Merit Power Plant Controller manages electrical measurements from POI power meters, processes SCADA commands, and directs inverters for active power, frequency, voltage, and reactive power control.

SCADA Systems

Our SCADA system gathers data from plant devices like controllers, inverters, converters, and sensors, then sends set points and commands to the power plant controller.

Infrastructure, Network & Cybersecurity

While inverter manufacturers enhance security within the communication board, Merit adds extra protection through the power plant controller with features like intrusion alarms, access control, and individual device IP addresses.

Meteorological Stations & Field Devices

Our MET stations offer exceptional value to power plant owners, developers, and EPCs with superior engineering, mature supply chains, and project-specific configurations, featuring integrated data acquisition and independent backup power for continuous reliability.

Services

At Merit, our goal is to help you integrate your utility-scale PV & storage plant to the wholesale grid sooner—and with less risk.

Managing the complexity of utility-scale power plants requires a trusted partner, a partner that is committed to the highest levels of performance. The Merit team brings deep experience in dynamic model development, capacity/performance testing, model verification for NERC MOD compliance, protection & harmonics studies and NERC PRC studies.
