Case Study: 9REN achieves centralized monitoring and 50% better event recognition with Wonderware

9REN Is On a Mission to Capitalize On the Power Of The Sun

9REN Group designs, builds and operates renewable turnkey power plants (photovoltaic, solar thermal and wind), running 568 photovoltaic installations mainly in Spain and Italy and producing over 99,000 MWh annually. Faced with geographically dispersed sites across Spain, Italy and the Middle East, a legacy proprietary monitoring system could not centrally manage differing time zones and weather patterns, drove high field maintenance costs, and lacked the scalability needed for rapid expansion.

9REN implemented EOSystem built on AVEVA System Platform (with InTouch, Historian and Historian Client) to provide real‑time, centralized monitoring, standardized reusable templates and redundant servers for scalability and reliability. The solution lets one operator oversee all 568 plants, cut field‑operations and engineering time, increased event recognition by 50%, improved solar tracking by 5%, and reduced reporting time from one month to two days.
