Nor-Cal Controls ES, LLC is a California-based SCADA, automation, and controls engineering company headquartered in El Dorado Hills. Founded in 2006, the company specializes in power generation controls, renewable energy automation, solar photovoltaic (PV) SCADA, battery energy storage system (BESS) controls, energy management systems, and process engineering. Nor-Cal Controls works with EPC contractors and asset owners and states that its projects have been completed in 43 states, with experience across major U.S. independent system operators and regional transmission organizations including CAISO, ERCOT, PJM, SPP, MISO, NYISO, and ISO-NE.

The company provides custom, open-architecture SCADA solutions designed around scalability, integration flexibility, and long-term system ownership. Its solar PV SCADA solutions can incorporate Power Plant Controllers (PPCs) for site-wide control of substations, inverters, and other plant equipment. Nor-Cal also develops Energy Management System (EMS) solutions for renewable generation and energy storage projects, including systems that coordinate multiple generation and storage assets.

Nor-Cal Controls also offers BESS integration, microgrid controls, real-time digital simulation (RTDS), power plant controllers, remote intelligent gateways, data acquisition systems, meteorological stations, performance calculations, and reporting. Its RTDS services allow PPC and plant equipment to be tested against simulated PV and battery energy storage scenarios before deployment.

In addition to project engineering, Nor-Cal provides managed SCADA support, including remote troubleshooting of inverters, medium-voltage transformers, trackers, substation IEDs, weather stations, and metering devices. Its support services can also include HMI and SCADA point-list modifications, logic changes, control tuning, project recovery, and on-site field technician support.

Nor-Cal Controls therefore serves organizations looking for renewable energy SCADA, power plant automation, solar controls, BESS controls, microgrid solutions, commissioning, and ongoing technical support.
