URICA monitors your generation facility through your Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Detection of deviations from normal operating parameters will be assessed, analyzed, and triaged by our Real Time Operators. Human Machine Interface (HMI) allows us to control and manage facility output based on ISO instructions/directives or commercial requirements and perform breaker resets, as required. All physical plant protocols, including communication escalation hierarchy, are documented in Operating Procedures, and approved by you, as our client.

The complexities of understanding prevalent regulations and ISO procedures can be a burden on any electricity market participant. Properly documented processes and market activity are fundamental to skillfully navigating regulatory rules and preserving compliance. URICA’s expertise in ISO rules and procedures substantially benefits asset owners who want to focus on operational performance and elevating their business.
