In this interview, Adam Kapala, Lead SCADA Engineer at Vattenfall, discusses the development and implementation of the Substation Manager using WinCC OA. Over the past six years, this solution has enabled Vattenfall operators to control and monitor substations in wind farms and trade electrical energy.

Adam highlights the challenges of integrating diverse equipment from various manufacturers into a uniform system and the flexibility of WinCC OA in handling multiple protocols and custom data acquisition methods. With 17 wind farms connected and hundreds of thousands of IO points managed, the system’s stability and performance are crucial.
Adam also emphasizes the strong collaboration with ETM and the benefits of WinCC OA’s open architecture, which allows for extensive customization and reliable operation.

Tune in to learn more about how Vattenfall leverages WinCC OA to enhance their energy management and control systems.
