Our Solutions
Our (latest) on-site solution
The key components for controlling and monitoring renewable energy systems
In addition to our proven blue'Log XM / XC, we’re introducing something completely new this year. What can you expect? We don’t want to give too much away just yet. What is clear is that we’re well aware of complex challenges like cybersecurity and the ever-growing demands placed on hardware. So start looking forward to the big premiere at The smarter E 2026 in Munich. The countdown is on!
Tried and true: The blue'Log XM / XC
- EZA controller for grid-compliant power injection and energy management functions combined in a single device
- Compatible with more than 5,100 devices for high flexibility in system design and when selecting your system technology
- Vendor-neutral
- Low commissioning costs thanks to quick and easy configuration
- Seamless integration into the VCOM Cloud monitoring platform
New feature
Hybrid power plants
Our solution for hybrid power plants supports flexibility in the control of active and reactive power.
With this feature, meters for…
- Active power
- Reactive power
…can be selected independently of one another, including individual meters used in characteristic curves.
This is necessary when the reference point for reactive power is located at the grid connection point, while the reactive power controller is located at the generation site.
This function fully complies with the requirements of VDE-AR-N 4110 for hybrid generation plants operated in the German medium-voltage grid.
Battery hierarchy and advanced device monitoring
Battery monitoring takes us to a whole new level of detail.
Thanks to these advanced features, we can…
- identify the battery’s substructures to monitor detailed metrics for each one (harmonized hierarchy)
- measure additional metrics based on intervals as short as one minute (min/max/current/average)
Monitoring of Transformers and Substations
With a focus on utility-scale projects, we are expanding our device support to monitor the following equipment…
- Transformers
- Substations
This includes:
- Conventional voltage transformers (VT) with external accessories for measurements (meters, sensors, and other peripheral devices) featuring individual Modbus interfaces
- Containerized transformer stations with integrated measuring devices that are harmonized via a standard Modbus interface (e.g., a manufacturer’s data logger)
- Substations with external measurement accessories (meters, sensors, transformers, and other peripheral devices) featuring individual Modbus interfaces
- Substations with a harmonized (e.g., local SCADA) Modbus interface
P-value calculation
Grid operators, plant operators, energy traders, and balancing service providers want to know the potential available power of a PV system in real time. blue’Log provides a calculated data point for this purpose.
We are introducing an update to the calculation of this data point that allows for the inclusion of multiple irradiance sensors and takes into account the temperature dependence of the modules. The result is greater accuracy of this data point in representing the potentially available power.
Upcoming feature
Hot Redundancy PPC
The PPC Hot Redundancy feature introduces an active–standby architecture that ensures continuous PPC operation.
Two blue'Log PPC devices are running in parallel, with one acting as the active controller and the other as a synchronized standby.
In case of connection loss of the active instance, control is automatically and seamlessly transferred to the standby PPC without manual intervention.
- High Availability: Eliminates single points of failure at PPC level.
- Operational Continuity: Automatic failover ensures uninterrupted control during faults or maintenance.
- Grid Compliance: Reduces risk of non-compliance due to PPC unavailability.
- Reduced Operational Effort: No manual switchover required in failure scenarios
Curtailment events with exact timestamp
The Curtailment events with exact timestamp feature introduce a structured handling of curtailment events (commands) within the blue'Log PPC.
Each curtailment is explicitly detected, recorded, and managed as an event, ensuring transparent execution and traceability in VCOM monitoring as base for yield loss calculation
- Improved transparency for operators and downstream systems
- Base for accurate yield-loss calculation

Technical advisory services
Detailed bankable reports from independent experts
meteocontrol supports you worldwide as an independent technical consultant throughout all phases of your B2B PV projects. We are available to assist project developers with technical questions or to serve as the lender’s (or owner’s) engineer.
We offer comprehensive support in various areas: yield assessments, technical due diligence, and technical inspections.
BESS Revenue Assessments
The BESS Revenue Assessment evaluates the project‑specific revenue potential of a battery energy storage system based on a techno‑economic simulation. The assessment considers the key technical parameters of the storage system and, where applicable, co‑located assets such as PV, wind or on‑site consumption. BESS projects can be analysed as stand‑alone systems or in co‑location at a shared grid connection point.
The analysis focuses on different market participation and monetisation strategies, assessed individually or combined through revenue stacking. These include spot markets (day‑ahead and intraday), ancillary services (e.g. FCR, aFRR), self‑consumption optimisation, direct marketing schemes and contractual models such as PPAs or tolling agreements. Revenue calculations are based either on historical price data (backtesting) or on market price forecasts (forecasting).
The result is a transparent economic evaluation of the BESS project, including key financial indicators such as cashflows, payback period and internal rate of return (IRR), documented in a concise report.
BESS Technical Due Diligence
The BESS Technical Due Diligence provides an independent and comprehensive technical assessment of a battery energy storage project in the planning, construction or operational phase. The evaluation covers the overall system concept, technical design, component selection and project schedule, for both stand‑alone and co‑located BESS projects.
The assessment includes a review of key components such as battery systems, inverters, transformers and electrical infrastructure, as well as site suitability and grid connection conditions. Available project documentation (e.g. permits, grid agreements, EPC and O&M contracts, technical studies) is reviewed from a technical risk perspective.
The outcome is a structured due diligence report identifying technical risks, constraints and mitigation measures, including a clear red‑flag list to support investment, acquisition and financing decisions.
BESS Technical Inspection
The BESS Technical Inspection assesses the physical condition, installation quality and safety of an installed battery energy storage system. It comprises an on‑site visual inspection of the main system components, including battery units, power conversion systems, cabling, transformers, grid connection equipment and monitoring systems.
The inspection also includes a review of commissioning and test documentation, such as insulation and grounding measurements, capacity tests and battery management system settings. The overall system safety and compliance with basic technical requirements are evaluated.
Results are documented in a concise inspection report including identified deficiencies, risk assessment and practical recommendations for corrective actions.
BESS Noise Assessment
The Noise Assessment evaluates the expected noise emissions of a BESS project and their compliance with applicable regulatory limits. It identifies relevant noise sources (e.g. inverters, transformers, cooling systems) and assesses sensitive receptors such as residential areas.
Based on a simplified acoustic propagation model, predicted sound levels are calculated and compared against statutory day‑ and night‑time limits (e.g. in accordance with TA Lärm).
The assessment is summarised in a report outlining compliance status, required minimum distances and, where necessary, recommendations for noise mitigation measures.
