PLN delegation listening to introduction of Remote Power Plant Operation Center (EVNPECC2-OCC)
The PLN delegation visited the Operation Control Center (EVNPECC2-OCC). This is the first remote-controlled operation center of solar power plant in Vietnam. The center not only performs a monitoring function but also allows operational engineers to forecast the operating status of the plant, remotely control, open and close equipment, change operating parameters, and thereby optimizing the operating mode, ensuring safety, reducing the number of workers, saving costs and ensuring the efficiency of plant operation.
