As the demand for clean, renewable energy continues to grow, Hitec Instruments is dedicated to delivering advanced metering and monitoring solutions tailored to the specific needs of renewable power systems.
From solar farms and wind energy projects to battery storage facilities, our solutions enable the reliable, accurate, and efficient integration of renewable energy into the grid.
Hitec Instruments meters, including the PRO Series PM335, EM235, and PM180, are specifically designed to address the complexities of renewable energy sources — offering advanced features such as:
Dynamic Containment with the PRO Series and PM180 Meters
The integration of renewable energy introduces variability into the grid, making frequency stability a major challenge.
Hitec Instruments’ PRO Series and PM180 meters deliver precise frequency readings with a resolution of 0.001 Hz or better, supporting data transfer over Modbus every 10 ms for rapid response capability.
With configurable setpoints, these meters can instantly activate relay operations, ensuring fast and effective reactions to frequency deviations.
For post-event analysis, Hitec Instruments RTR software records frequency and other key parameters every 50 ms into a CSV file — providing deep analytical insights to support Dynamic Containment strategies.
By actively balancing supply and demand, our metering solutions help prevent frequency deviations, maintain grid stability, and ensure regulatory compliance for utilities and operators.
Compliance with grid connection standards such as G99 in the UK is essential for renewable energy providers connecting to the main grid.
Hitec Instruments’ Class A Power Quality Analysers meet G99 C.6 requirements, delivering Dynamic System Monitoring, Fault Recording, and Power Quality Analysis to ensure exported energy supports grid stability rather than disrupting it.
Renewable energy sources particularly solar PV systems can sometimes produce more power than the local grid can manage.
Hitec Instruments provides G100-compliant solutions using PRO Series meters with built-in logic controllers, digital inputs, and relay outputs.
Our G100 solution enables reliable import/export limitation, automatically adjusting power output based on pre-agreed thresholds ensuring grid stability, system safety, and regulatory compliance.
Overload and reverse power flow can present significant challenges in renewable energy systems, where energy often flows bi-directionally.
Failsafe overload and reverse power protection are essential components of Hitec Instruments’ renewable energy solutions supporting G100 compliance and high-voltage applications.
By continuously monitoring load levels and detecting reverse power conditions, our meters safeguard assets, prevent surges, and protect valuable infrastructure from damage.
Many renewable systems including solar farms and battery energy storage systems (BESS) operate on direct current (DC).
Hitec Instruments DC metering solutions, featuring Ultra High Accuracy Current Sensors (UHACS) in the PRO Series, provide precise DC voltage, current, and power measurements.
This level of accuracy enables operators to monitor, optimise, and validate the performance of renewable systems, ensuring efficient power generation and energy management.
Our DC meters are fully compliant with UK regulations and can be used for the measurement and recording of electricity transfers at Asset Points for settlement and reporting purposes.
In energy storage applications, accurate DC metering is essential for monitoring charge/discharge cycles and energy flow.
Our meters and software provide precise real-time data, helping operators maximise battery efficiency and safely integrate stored power with the grid.
Hitec Instruments’ PRO Series is ideal for micro-grids and hybrid systems combining multiple energy sources.
With integrated overload and reverse power protection, our solutions ensure stable operation, efficient power distribution, and compliance with complex system requirements.
Hitec Instruments delivers complete metering and management solutions that ensure grid stability, regulatory compliance, and sustainable operation. Whether you operate a solar farm, wind power station, or battery energy storage facility, our advanced technology provides the accuracy, protection, and control needed for reliable renewable power management. We combine engineering expertise, innovative hardware, and intelligent software platforms to help you achieve your energy goals with confidence.
