#VCOM today - 8: Power Control - When Grid Integration becomes visible

In the last articles about #VCOM, we were discussing a lot about how to interface with different parties and how to increase the quality of daily O&M workflows. Today we will speak about the integration of solar PV plants in the grid. Most of us, reading this article, dream of a 100 % renewable energy based electricity market.

#VCOM today - 6: Interfacing with clients - once in a while or live...24/7/365?

With this side note I would like to start into todays topic: How do you interface with your clients? What could be better compared to today?
