    Once we decide where to go, we start looking for the shortest path. The same goes for pursuing net-zero carbon emissions and other sustainability goals. Once we muster the will to take the first step, we pack what we think we'll need for the trip and begin seeking ways to smooth and straighten the road to going green.

    Figure 1: To help New Zealand achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Lodestone Energy is automating the island nation’s first large-scale, solar-photovoltaic (PV) project at two 25-MW sites by implementing Emerson’s Ovation DCS and OCR3000 controller to provide comprehensive control that will minimize the impact of solar PV’s variability and intermittent performance. The Ovation platform will act as a process orchestration tool to seamlessly connect third-party systems, including inverters, high-voltage switchboards, weather stations, security systems and grid-authorized RTUs.

    Figure 1: The plan for a 10-MW electrolyzer, 18-MW solar plant and 8 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Yuri Green Hydrogen Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia specifies it will use an energy management system (EMS) from Yokogawa’s PXiSE Energy Solutions and an integrated control system (ICS) centering on a Collaborative Information Server that Yokogawa will also provide. The EMS will manage the facility’s inverter and batteries, while the ICS and related PLCs will manage its RTUs, SCADA system and PXiSE software. The Yuri facility will use solar power to produce up to 640 tons per year of green hydrogen, which will be used as a feedstock to produce green ammonia at an adjacent ammonia plant by 2030.
