Additionally, the operation of wind and especially solar power plants can result in a large amount of operational and non-operational data. For solar power plants, each inverter can be considered a generation sub-unit, and the monitoring of each unit can extend to as far as each Photovoltaic (PV) string. For tracking of each string, thousands of data points shall be generated in real-time with a frequency of less than 1 second. If the entire set of real-time operation data can be recorded, a valuable resource for analysis and forecasting of the power system will be obtained, on which AI/Machine Learning technology can be deployed for big data processing. The Historian Information System (HIS) used for these power plants shall need a specialized database that can ensure optimization of time-series data storage throughout the power plants’ operation.
Born with a singular focus on redefining the power system, Applied Technical Systems (ATS) offers a wide range of products and solutions that can be customized to address client’s needs for data acquisition, data storage, and data processing used for system control and forecasting. The company’s Historical Information System (SmartHIS) is specially designed to store all data gathered from the operation of the system, which is created continuously with time. The use of intelligent algorithms to analyze these data can help operators to optimize the operation of the system while ensuring system security. Further, ATS has played an active role in such development, offering solutions including PV SCADA and Power Plant Control, power generation forecast, fault diagnosis, and maintenance prediction.
Besides, ATS provides its clients with customized solutions for their specific needs, offering a range of comprehensive products on an integrated platform, from IED/sensor to advance application with integrated grid connection and power plant system.
ATS’s products are capable of data access and acquisition from IED and sensor, standardization of real-time data and storage of historical data, applications for real-time monitoring, control and computation for decision-making, and post-operation analysis, forecast, diagnosis, and planning. “Our advanced applications are built on a big data analytic platform using AI/Machine Learning and the experience of our domain experts, which altogether differentiate ATS’s products from other vendors,” says Thai Tran, the Chief Technical Officer of ATS. Also, the integration of comprehensive functions in ATS’s solution helps its clients optimize the management and deployment of their assets while reducing maintenance-related time and cost.

ATS was established 22 years ago in Vietnam when the country’s power system was under-developed. The desire to drive the development of the country’s power system has led to the company’s inception, launching its first product—IEC61850-based Substation Automation System (SAS). Nowadays, ATS’s Substation Automation System accounts for nearly 40 percent of the Vietnam Transmission Grid. Currently, ATS is a provider of solutions for Substation Automation and Power System Monitoring & Control, with innovative solutions that can help redefine how the power system can be smarter, safer, and more reliable.
