Omnivise Hybrid Control

Microgrid Controller Omnivise T3000 hardware

The Microgrid Controller of the Omnivise Hybrid Control solution is based on the Siemens Energy standard plant control hardware Omnivise T3000. This ensures highest hardware standards in reliability, longevity and security.

Omnivise T3000 includes AS3000 Automation Server, and CS3000 Communication Server hardware modules. It is designed for a wide range of applications and for rough environment conditions.

Full redundancy and cyber security functions are provided on a hardware level.

The innovative, flexible platform combines all automation and communication tasks. It provides real time capabilities as needed for demanding control and closed loop applications. Also, T3000 provides the runtime environment for demanding and complex optimization and programming tasks. An integrated dual redundancy link allows smaller footprinting and reduced wiring. The integrated 3rd party connectivity enables an efficient control system design with a scalable setup for easy expansion. Additionally, online repair can be performed with only a temporary interruption of the redundancy. I/Os are connected via PROFINET and/or via PROFIBUS.

Omnivise T3000 provides flexible connectivity options, e.g.:

Modbus RTU/ASCII and TCP
DNP3.0 serial, over UDP2 and over TCP
IEC 60870-5-101 and -104
IEC 61850
Connect S7/PCS7 via Black Box
OPC UA Client (DA, AC)

Key features of Dispatch Optimization

Sets the basis to connect market-driven trading, including spot markets, with the defined production potential of the fleet and its plants
Generates short, medium and long-term generation schedules and provides recommendations for cost and revenue-optimized generation
Supports fulfillment of supply obligations with optimized use of fuel or other resources
Also provides information to help support decision-making for fuel contracts, electricity contracts, CO₂ planning, investment calculations for determining whether to add capacity or upgrade existing plants

Per definition and standards, microgrids are entities which manage their own decentralized power production and consumption and are capable of island operation mode.

Depending on a business case, many microgrids, always run in on-grid mode. Managing a microgrid with multiple different decentralized resources requires a hybrid microgrid controller to provide automated and at the same time optimal operation for the customer.

Omnivise Hybrid Control is the perfect solution for large and mid-size microgrids, e.g., for IPPs, islands, industries, data centers, mines.

Industrial Microgrid for Resilience and Cost Savings

With increasing cost of electricity and at the same time demand, C&I customers can install own generation to reduce their energy bills, and at the same time be able to run their essential load in off-grid mode. With CHPs and CCPs thermal energy is extracted for industrial processes, heating/cooling or electricity recuperation. With integration of rooftop PV, CO₂ emissions are reduced.

A Omnivise Hybrid Control solution will be used for world’s first integrated commercial plant for producing CO₂-neutral fuel.
The Haru Oni project applies electrolysers to split water into O₂ and green H₂ using wind power. CO₂ is then filtered from the air and combined with the green H₂ to produce synthetic methanol, which in turn is converted into eFuel.
A pilot plant is initially being built in Chilean Patagonia, which produces around 130,000 litres of eFuels in 2022. The capacity will then be expanded to around 550 million litres by 2026.
