GreenPowerMonitor

A renewable portfolio rarely runs on one brand of hardware. Inverters from three manufacturers, turbines with their own control systems, a battery site with its own energy management layer — each arrives with a separate portal and its own idea of what a data point should be called. Operations teams end up reconciling formats instead of reacting to faults.

GreenPowerMonitor works on both ends of that problem: controllers installed at the plant that collect and act on data directly, and cloud software that turns the same data into portfolio-level analytics. The company is part of DNV, and its systems currently cover more than 7,500 facilities across 90-plus countries, with over 100 GW under management.

What Is GreenPowerMonitor?

GreenPowerMonitor (GPM) is a renewable energy monitoring, control and asset management provider owned by DNV. It supplies hardware, firmware, cloud software and engineering services for solar PV, wind, battery storage and hybrid plants.

Rather than a single application, GPM is a product family. On-site controllers such as GPM SCADA, GPM PPC and GPM EMS run at the plant itself, while cloud platforms including GPM Horizon, GPM Plus and GPM Portal aggregate across sites. Installations range from 2 kW rooftop systems up to 13 GW portfolios, and the typical customer is an asset owner, an O&M provider, an EPC contractor or an asset manager working with mixed-vendor equipment.

Features

• GPM SCADA: in-plant supervisory control for utility-scale sites, handling more than one million real-time variables.
• GPM PPC: power plant control for active and reactive power at solar, wind and hybrid plants.
• GPM EMS and GPM HEMS: storage and hybrid energy management with grid compliance built in.
• GPM Horizon: cloud asset management for portfolios that mix solar, wind and storage.
• GPM Plus: real-time monitoring across every level of a portfolio, from device to fleet.
• GPM Portal: customizable web portal for giving owners and clients their own view of plant data.
• Energy Data Tagger: AI-assisted standardization of signal names across dissimilar SCADA sources.
• WindGEMINI and SolarGEMINI: DNV analytics tools for turbine and PV fleet diagnostics.

GreenPowerMonitor Pricing

GPM does not publish list prices. Quotes are scoped per portfolio, and the split between on-site equipment and cloud subscription changes the shape of the number.

• Custom quotes: priced on installed capacity, number of sites and the modules involved.
• Hardware and commissioning: on-site controllers carry equipment and installation costs separate from the software.
• Cloud subscriptions: recurring licensing for Horizon, Plus and Portal.
• Service tiers: larger portfolios can add engineering support and advanced analytics packages.
• Demonstrations: product demos are arranged through the GPM and DNV sales teams.

Integrations

Hardware independence is the point of the product, so GPM connects to existing equipment rather than replacing it.

• Inverters and turbines: data acquisition from mixed-vendor solar and wind fleets.
• Battery systems: control and monitoring at the energy management layer for BESS sites.
• Industrial protocols: the standard SCADA communications used in renewable plants.
• Meteorological hardware: irradiance sensors, weather stations and revenue-grade meters.
• Grid operators: signal exchange for curtailment instructions and grid code obligations.
• Enterprise systems: API access for reporting, maintenance and business analytics tools.
• DNV analytics: WindGEMINI and SolarGEMINI for deeper fleet-level diagnostics.

How to Set Up GreenPowerMonitor

1. Contact GPM to scope the portfolio and the technologies involved.
2. Run a site assessment covering existing hardware, communications and SCADA infrastructure.
3. Choose the mix of on-site controllers and cloud modules each site needs.
4. Install and commission the controllers or dataloggers at the plants.
5. Map and standardize signals so data is comparable across the portfolio.
6. Configure dashboards, alarm rules, reports and user permissions.

How to Use GreenPowerMonitor

Day to day, operations teams work from the alarm list. Signals arrive from the on-site controllers, get grouped by plant and severity, and turn into work orders for field crews. Because the same signal names apply across the portfolio, a fault pattern on one inverter model becomes visible everywhere that model is installed.

Asset managers use the cloud side differently: production against budget, availability against contract, monthly reporting for owners and lenders. Grid code obligations stay with the plant controller rather than the cloud, which matters when a network operator sends a curtailment instruction and the response has to happen in seconds.

What You Can Manage with GreenPowerMonitor

• Multi-technology portfolios: solar, wind, storage and hybrid sites in one structure.
• Plant control: active and reactive power setpoints and grid code response.
• Alarms and maintenance: fault detection, prioritization and handover to work orders.
• Data standardization: consistent signal naming across mixed hardware.
• Performance analysis: production, availability and loss breakdowns by site and device.
• Reporting: operational and financial summaries for owners, lenders and clients.
• Client-facing portals: branded monitoring access for third parties.

FAQs

What does GreenPowerMonitor do?

GreenPowerMonitor supplies monitoring, control and asset management systems for renewable plants, combining on-site controllers such as GPM SCADA with cloud platforms such as GPM Horizon.

Who is GreenPowerMonitor best for?

It suits utility-scale asset owners, independent power producers, O&M providers, EPC contractors and asset managers running mixed-vendor solar, wind and storage portfolios.

Is GreenPowerMonitor free?

No. GPM sells commercial licenses and on-site hardware, with pricing quoted per portfolio rather than published.

What are the main limitations of GreenPowerMonitor?

The product family is built around utility-scale operations, so smaller owners may find it heavier than they need. Deployments involve on-site commissioning, and prices are not disclosed publicly.

What are the best alternatives to GreenPowerMonitor?

Popular alternatives include Power Factors Drive, Meteocontrol VCOM Cloud, Stem PowerTrack, Solytic and QOS Energy.
