SCADA · PPC · EMS integration for renewable and hybrid plants
Lapomik Energy is a SCADA integrator for solar, storage, hybrid and mini-grid plants. We engineer, validate and commission the plant control system, then give operators one platform — VETRA — to monitor, control and aggregate every asset, whatever the OEM.
Every OEM ships a controller for its own equipment. A plant needs one system above them all. VETRA is that system — it monitors, controls and aggregates — and we integrate, test and support it as a documented engineering scope.
Real-time telemetry, alarm management designed to align with ISA-18.2, historian and reporting, HMI screens built on ISA-101 principles, availability and performance ratio per plant and per fleet.
Power plant control at the point of interconnection — active and reactive power, voltage, frequency, ramp rates — and hybrid EMS dispatch across PV, storage, gensets and grid, including islanding and black start. Protection and interlocks stay in the relays.
One normalised data model across OEMs and sites: fleet KPIs, contracted-performance tracking and northbound interfaces to utilities, owners and lenders over IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, OPC UA, MQTT and REST.
Simulation-based validation, factory and site acceptance, grid-compliance testing, OT cybersecurity designed to align with IEC 62443, and a documentation package the owner can audit.
VETRA product family
VETRA runs hybrid power — PV, battery storage, gensets and grid — from the first map to the final kilowatt-hour paid. Every site carries one VETRA Project ID across planning, finance, procurement, operation and settlement, so the data that sized a plant is the data that settles it.

The gap we close
Most hybrid plants are built by an EPC that buys from four or five OEMs. Each OEM controls its own equipment well. Nobody owns the plant-level control. These are the problems that reach us.
Inverters, batteries and gensets each follow their own setpoints. Nothing coordinates them at the point of connection, so the grid operator sees a plant that cannot hold its power or voltage targets.
Compliance is claimed from OEM datasheets. No model, no study and no test record exists for the plant as built, and the connection agreement stalls.
Gensets and switchgear are tied to the inverter controller through relay contacts. The EMS cannot see fuel, load or state, so it over-runs diesel and under-uses storage.
Each vendor's cloud shows its own device. There is no single historian, no plant-wide alarm list and no data a lender or off-taker can rely on.
Control logic lives in one vendor's locked configuration. When the vendor leaves, the plant cannot be changed, and the owner cannot prove how it behaves.
Control strategies are tried for the first time with real equipment, real customers and a live grid. Faults found that way are expensive and slow to fix.

VETRA — Monitor. Control. Optimize. Transform.
VETRA is Lapomik Energy's SCADA, PPC and EMS platform. Operators use it to monitor and control a plant in real time and to aggregate data across OEMs and sites into one model. Each OEM controller remains the final executor of its own device; VETRA is the plant master above them — and control never depends on the cloud.
Sample VETRA dashboards shown with anonymised data.
Redundant plant servers or a DIN-rail industrial controller with an IEC 61131-3 runtime. Control, protection interfaces and the historian run on site.
Fleet Manager for multi-site aggregation, reporting and secure remote access through a DMZ — for owners, programmes and lenders.
Edge control with cloud aggregation: the plant keeps operating through a connectivity loss and back-fills data when the link returns.
Plant supervision, grid-code control at the point of interconnection (active/reactive power, frequency, voltage, ramp rates) and cost-optimised dispatch across PV, storage, gensets and grid.
One operations view across every site in a portfolio: availability, energy served and consumed, alarms, fuel, and contracted KPIs per site and per programme.
A normalised time-series and event layer for inverters, BMS, gensets, meters, weather stations and third-party systems, so different OEM data behaves as one dataset.
Diesel and gas generator monitoring: fuel level and consumption, run hours, loading, starts and health — the fastest route to visible operating savings.
A digital twin of the plant for simulation, what-if analysis and clause-by-clause grid-code checks before a controller setting ever reaches the field.
An energy copilot that observes, explains, predicts and recommends with evidence and confidence. It never holds final control authority; deterministic protection and grid-code layers do.
Control logic validated in simulation against faults, outages and grid events prior to deployment, with a signed record.
OT cybersecurity designed to align with IEC 62443 and IEC 62351: zones and conduits, hardened remote access, monitoring, backup and incident response.
Ticketing, service history, documentation and SLA tracking for every site, with remote-first Level 1 and Level 2 support from Port Harcourt.
Southbound to equipment and northbound to utilities, regulators and owner systems.
VETRA Intelligence answers in plain language and always shows its evidence. Sample exchanges below are illustrative.
Every answer carries an explanation, a confidence indicator, a timestamp and links to the supporting data — never a bare conclusion.
VETRA site controllers — run by VETRA SCADA · M04 · Operate
Intelligent power, controlled for performance. VETRA SCADA runs eight site controllers, one per plant topology — four for grid-connected sites and a ladder from fuel-save to full microgrid. Start with the controller the site needs today, and move up when storage, a grid connection or islanding is added — without changing platform, screens or support desk.
| Site topology | Controller | Classes |
|---|---|---|
| PV + grid | VETRA Feed | VF-100 · 200 · 500 · 1000 |
| BESS + grid | VETRA Vault | VA-100 · 250 · 500 · 1000 |
| Gensets + grid | VETRA Duo | VD-1 · 2 · 4 · 8 |
| PV + BESS + grid | VETRA Sync | VS-100 · 200 · 500 · 1000 |
| PV + gensets (± grid) | VETRA Blend | VB-100 … VB-3000 |
| PV + BESS + backup genset | VETRA Reserve | VR-100 · 200 |
| PV + grid + BESS + gensets | VETRA Island | VI-S · M · L |
| Any topology above ≈3 MW | VETRA H-PPC | ≈3–50 MW, engineered per project |
Grid-connected sites
PV + grid
Solar on a grid-connected site, controlled against the site load and the connection agreement. Feed takes as much solar as the site can use and exports only what the agreement allows.
BESS + grid
Battery storage behind a grid connection: charge when energy is cheap or plentiful, discharge when it is expensive or the demand peak is near.
Gensets + grid
Sites that run gensets beside an unreliable or expensive grid. Duo sequences the generators against the grid so the cheapest reliable source carries the load.
PV + BESS + grid
Solar and storage on a grid connection, coordinated: solar serves the load, the battery stores the surplus and shaves the peak, and the grid supplies the rest.
Fuel-save, storage and microgrid sites
PV + gensets
Solar-diesel control for sites that run on generators. Blend pushes solar as far as the gensets safely allow and gives the fuel saving back as a measured number.
PV + BESS + backup genset
Storage-led sites where the battery carries the load and the generator is the reserve. Reserve manages state of charge and calls the genset only when it is needed.
PV + grid + BESS + gensets
The complete microgrid controller: grid-connected and islanded operation, controlled transfer between them, and black start when everything is down.
Hybrid power plant controller
For any topology above about 3 MW, and grid-code-bound plants beyond the Island range: plant-level control at the point of interconnection, engineered per project with full SCADA.
Class limits, supported equipment and register maps are fixed in the datasheet and confirmed against your equipment list before any quotation. No performance figure is quoted without the site data behind it.
Every controller in the family opens onto the same platform. Add what the site or the portfolio needs.
Diesel and grid monitoring: fuel, runtime and tariff intelligence for every genset on site. More
Battery and asset analytics: health and degradation monitoring on the plant's own data.
OT cybersecurity for SCADA and site controllers: zoning, hardened remote access, monitoring and backup.
Multi-site view, reporting and secure remote access. Basic, Pro and Pro + API editions.
Metered billing, verified settlement and portfolio reporting. More
The energy copilot: explains, predicts and recommends with evidence.
Digital twin for what-if analysis and settings checks before the field.
A typical plant as we deliver it: field devices on open protocols, a segmented OT network, redundant plant control with VETRA as the master, a DMZ, and external interfaces to the system operator, owner and lenders. Every project gets its own version of this drawing.
Protection logic stays in the relays. Nothing in the DMZ or above it can issue a breaker command; supervisory setpoints pass through the PPC/EMS with limits, interlocks and audit logging.
Live demonstration · simulated
Move the load, cut the sun, drop the grid. The dispatch logic below follows the same merit order VETRA applies on a real plant: solar first, battery second, grid third, gas last — and every decision is visible.

Plan, finance, procure, operate and settle are separate products. Each can be adopted alone; together they share one project record.
VETRA Ledger — M05 · Settle
VETRA Ledger aggregates metered data from VETRA Link gateways and SCADA, bills customers, verifies the numbers and reports portfolios to owners, lenders and funders. When an operator is paid for energy delivered and availability achieved, the data is the contract. We aggregate it, validate it, settle it and carry the invoice through to reconciliation — so owners pay for what was delivered and operators are paid for what they delivered.
Tariffs, invoices and collections per customer, site and portfolio.

Contracted energy, availability targets, penalties and performance certificates calculated from validated data under the rules of each agreement.
Operator claim, platform record and owner verification compared before any amount is approved. Estimated data is never presented as measured.
Approved invoices move to payment through a secure payment provider, then reconcile back to the settlement period.
Role-based approvals, a full audit trail and dispute handling, so every figure can be traced to its source reading.
Settlement reads plant data; it cannot write to a plant. Financial users never sit on the control network.
Available Pricing on request. Datasheet and quotation within five working days of a site or portfolio survey.
A fixed-scope entry engagement for independent power producers, developers and programme owners: we take a period of your plant data, rebuild energy delivered and availability from source readings, and report where the numbers and the invoices disagree.
VETRA VPP — virtual power plant
A virtual power plant aggregates distributed solar, storage, gensets and flexible load across many sites and dispatches them as one resource. VETRA VPP is the aggregation layer we are building on top of the controllers already in the field — so a site commissioned on Reserve, Island or H-PPC today is a VPP-ready asset tomorrow.
A VPP request never overrides site protection, battery limits, genset rules or the customer's own load. Optimisation does not outrank equipment or customer safety.
If the link to the platform is lost, each site falls back to its local operating mode. Control never depends on the cloud.
Requests are scheduled, signed and logged. Every dispatch has a record of what was asked, what the site accepted and what was delivered.
Delivered flexibility is verified from metered data and carried through the same validation and invoice lifecycle as our settlement service.
Device identity, signed commands and zoned networks, designed to align with IEC 62443. Financial and market users never sit on the control network.
A canonical model across OEMs today; open demand-response and DER interfaces are on the roadmap, confirmed per programme.
Status: in development. VETRA VPP is described here as direction, not as an operating service; participation in any market or programme depends on the applicable regulation and licensing. Portfolio owners, utilities and programme sponsors interested in a first fleet are invited to get in touch.
VETRA EMS for data centres — Control the power. Protect the uptime. Reduce the cost.
A data centre already has a UPS, a building management system and a generator controller — each looking after its own equipment. What it rarely has is one system deciding which source should carry the load, at what cost, with what reserve. VETRA EMS is that layer: it orchestrates utility, gensets, storage and solar around the critical load, and leaves protection and the UPS transfer path exactly where they are.
Utility, gensets, storage and solar dispatched on cost and reserve, with redundancy (N, N+1, 2N) treated as a constraint the EMS never trades away.
Sequencing, loading and run-hour balancing, plus VETRA DGM for tank levels, consumption, refills and autonomy in hours at the present load.
Battery storage used for peak shaving, ride-through support and genset start bridging. The UPS and its static transfer path remain the final protection for the IT load.
On-site PV integrated without disturbing the critical bus; time-of-use and demand charges managed where the tariff rewards it.
PUE and energy KPIs by hall, by system and by tenant; sub-metering and allocation data ready for billing and sustainability reporting.
Controlled transfer, load-shed priorities and black-start sequencing, rehearsed in simulation before they are needed on the floor.
Modbus, SNMP, BACnet, OPC UA, IEC 61850 and REST to BMS, DCIM and owner systems. Supported points depend on the interfaces your equipment exposes.
VETRA Shield: zones and conduits, hardened remote access and audit logging, designed to align with IEC 62443. The energy network stays separate from tenant IT.
Remote Operations Centre supervision and a VETRA Care plan, with response targets written into the agreement.
We do not quote a percentage saving before we have your site data. Every figure in a proposal is either measured at your facility or labelled illustrative. Also available for telecom-tower portfolios, where hundreds of small sites are run as one fleet.
VETRA EV — charging energy management
An electric fleet is a large new load on a supply that was never sized for it. On a weak or expensive grid, the question is not which charger to buy but where the energy comes from, when, and at what cost. VETRA EV treats chargers as one more controllable asset on the site — beside solar, storage, gensets and the grid — so vehicles are ready when they are needed and the site never trips to get them there.
Charging power shared across bays within the site's connection and transformer limits, so adding chargers does not mean upgrading the supply first.
Vehicles that are parked through the day absorb the solar the site would otherwise curtail; charging follows the sun where the schedule allows.
Battery storage delivers the short, high peaks of DC charging and refills slowly — fast charging on a connection that could not supply it directly.
Each vehicle gets the energy it needs by its departure time, in priority order, at the lowest cost the tariff and the sources allow.
Charging continues through grid outages on solar, storage and gensets, with genset running kept to the minimum the schedule requires.
Energy, cost and carbon per vehicle and per kilometre, with the fuel displaced stated against a measured baseline — the same discipline we apply to CNG fleets.
Fleets rarely change fuel all at once. Lapomik supports the mix: compressed natural gas for the vehicles that suit it today, electric for those that suit it next — measured on the same platform, so the finance team compares like with like.
Status: in development. EV charging management is being added to the VETRA EMS and is offered today as an engineered project scope; charger compatibility is confirmed per project against the interfaces each charger exposes. Vehicle-to-grid is on the longer roadmap and depends on vehicle, charger and regulatory support. No savings figure is quoted without the fleet's own data.
From a 200 kW captive plant to a utility-scale interconnection, the control-system scope changes in size, not in discipline — and every sector that runs on generators, grid or solar needs the same three things: to monitor, control and aggregate.
Plant SCADA, PPC at the point of interconnection, system-operator telemetry and grid-compliance testing.
PCS/BMS integration, state-of-charge and thermal supervision, frequency and voltage support, firming and peak shaving.
EMS dispatch, genset sequencing, islanded operation and black start; programme KPIs for RESCOs and regulators.
Rooftop and ground-mount PV with storage and gensets behind the meter; fuel and cost dispatch; VETRA DGM for existing gensets.
Hundreds of small sites aggregated in Fleet Manager with common KPIs, alarms and fuel tracking.
IEC 61850 relay integration, RTU gateways and IEC 60870-5-104 / DNP3 links to the transmission or distribution operator.
Every sector that needs power. The plant differs; the control discipline does not.
Remote captive plants with large motor loads and long fuel supply lines. Hybrid PV, storage and genset dispatch, sequencing and fuel accounting per pit and per camp.
Hotels, resorts and serviced apartments where guests notice every flicker. Generator monitoring first, then rooftop solar and storage, with consumption per building and per wing.
Hospitals, clinics and diagnostic centres: critical loads, transfer sequences, oxygen plants and cold chain, with audited availability for boards and funders.
Factories, breweries, food and beverage, plastics, textiles: process continuity, power quality and cost-based dispatch that keeps the line running through grid loss.
Large captive gas and diesel plants with medium-voltage distribution: relay integration, load-shedding schemes and plant-wide SCADA.
Upstream, midstream and oil-servicing facilities and camps: hybrid power, fuel monitoring and OT-grade cybersecurity at every site.
Farms, cold stores, mills and agro-processing zones: irrigation pumping and processing loads on solar-diesel hybrids, with seasonal dispatch profiles.
Tower sites and data hubs: hundreds of small plants aggregated in Fleet Manager with fuel, battery health and alarms per site.
Resilient hybrid supply with black start, controlled transfer and fuel security, reported to the standard the tenants require. VETRA EMS for data centres
Offices, residential estates and gated communities on shared plants: tenant sub-metering, allocation and billing data from the same platform.
Supermarkets, malls and cold-chain retail: peak shaving, generator monitoring and energy cost per outlet.
Branches and head offices: uninterrupted power for operations and a fleet view of every branch generator.
Universities, campuses and schools: multi-building distribution, laboratory loads and programme reporting.
Ministries, secretariats, hospitals and schools under electrification programmes, with energy served and consumed per site so misuse and outages are visible.
Interconnected and isolated mini-grids, embedded generation and system-operator telemetry that behaves the way the grid code expects.
Ports, warehouses, depots and vehicle fleets — hybrid power for the sites, CNG conversion for the trucks and managed charging for electric fleets.
Pumping stations and treatment works: pump scheduling on solar, remote alarms and run-hour records.
Large intermittent loads served by big gensets: fuel monitoring, load management and rooftop solar where the roof allows.
Sector not listed? If it runs on a generator, a grid connection or solar, the scope is the same — ask.

Engineering services — Service 01 · Power Plant Controller (PPC)
A Power Plant Controller coordinates every inverter and battery in the plant so that active power, reactive power, voltage, frequency response and ramp rate at the point of common coupling meet the grid operator's requirements — continuously, measurably and provably.
The goalDeliver a PPC that is designed from the grid-connection requirement, proven on a model before it is built, tested before it is shipped, and witnessed at the point of connection before the plant is accepted.
Twenty inverters each at 100 % do not make a plant at its contracted limit. Without a PPC the plant over- or under-delivers at the point of connection and breaches the connection agreement.
Grid operators require Q(U), power-factor or Q-setpoint control at the point of connection. Inverter-level settings cannot hold it through cable losses and transformer taps.
Droop and fast frequency response are required on paper; nobody has shown how the plant behaves when the grid frequency moves.
Cloud edges and battery dispatch produce power swings the grid cannot accept. Ramp limiting needs a plant-level controller with storage in the loop.
A vendor's microgrid controller runs its own equipment well and treats everyone else's as a contact. The owner cannot read, change or prove the logic.
Each OEM controls its own equipment well; nobody owns the plant-level control. We sit above the OEM controllers and work with any inverter, battery, genset or protection vendor, and we do not resell their equipment.
How it works
Each stage ends with a numbered deliverable, reviewed with you before the next stage starts. See the documents you receive.
Grid code, connection agreement and PPA reviewed; control functions and limits tabulated.
Plant electrical model and PPC control model in Simulink; every required case simulated and reported.
Functional design specification: control loops, setpoint sources, limits, interlocks, fallback and modes.
IEC 61131-3 implementation on an industrial controller, or Simulink-generated code for your platform.
Simulation-based and hardware-in-the-loop testing against the written plan; FAT with the OEM controllers in the loop.
Point-of-connection tests witnessed by the grid operator; as-built model and compliance report issued.
Scope
Every clause of the grid code mapped to a function, a model result and a witnessed test.
The plant delivers what the grid and the PPA allow.
Hold the point of connection at the voltage or power factor the grid asks for.
Prove how the plant behaves when the grid moves.
Everything the grid operator needs to approve the connection.
Deployed on our hardware or yours.
Designed to align with IEC 61850, IEC 62443, IEEE 1547 / IEEE 2800 and the applicable national grid code. We do not certify equipment; certification, where required, is by an accredited body or the grid operator.
Who it serves
| Who | Typical scope | What they get |
|---|---|---|
| Utility-scale PV and PV + BESS (3–50 MW+) | Full PPC with compliance package | Grid-operator approval evidence and an as-built model |
| C&I hybrid sites (100 kW–3 MW) | Export limiting, power-factor control, genset coordination | A plant that never breaches its connection agreement |
| BESS projects | Charge and discharge control at the point of connection, frequency services | Services the battery can be paid for |
| OEMs and integrators | PPC built to your specification, on your hardware | A controller you can ship with your equipment |
Evidence the grid operator can accept.
Every case has run on the model and in test first.
No conservative derating to stay safe.
Your engineers can audit and change it.
Works with any inverter brand on the plant.
From requirement to witnessed test.
Questions
From scope to commissioning, typically three to six months for a utility-scale plant, driven mostly by equipment delivery and the grid operator's test schedule. Modelling and design alone take four to eight weeks.
Yes. The usual architecture keeps the OEM controller as the device-level executor and places the PPC above it as the plant-level master, with a defined interface and fallback.
The model and the compliance matrix are delivered to you. Changes are re-run on the model, re-tested and re-issued as a new revision.
We provide the model, study, test procedure and witnessed results. The certificate, where one is required, is issued by the grid operator or an accredited body.
PPC, EMS and SCADA are designed together, by the same engineers, on the same model and document register. Buy one or all three.

Engineering services — Service 02 · Energy Management System (EMS)
An Energy Management System dispatches PV, batteries, gensets and grid against cost, availability, fuel and battery-life objectives, and keeps the plant stable through islanding, black start and resynchronisation. We design, model, implement and test the EMS for hybrid plants of any topology.
The goalDeliver dispatch logic that cuts diesel, protects the battery, keeps the lights on through grid loss, and is documented so clearly that the operator and the lender both understand why the plant did what it did.
Without a plant-level EMS the genset runs on a timer or a dry contact while storage sits unused. Fuel is the largest operating cost on most hybrid sites.
Dispatch that ignores depth of discharge, C-rate and temperature limits voids the warranty and shortens the asset life.
Grid loss is handled by the inverter alone, with no coordinated transfer, no load-shedding priority and no resynchronisation plan.
Operating strategy lives in a tariff table someone typed once. It does not respond to forecast, tariff change or equipment state.
When the owner asks why diesel consumption rose last month, nobody can show the dispatch decisions that caused it.
Each OEM controls its own equipment well; nobody owns the plant-level control. We sit above the OEM controllers and work with any inverter, battery, genset or protection vendor, and we do not resell their equipment.
How it works
Each stage ends with a numbered deliverable, reviewed with you before the next stage starts. See the documents you receive.
Cost, availability, fuel, emissions and battery-life objectives agreed with the owner; tariff and fuel data collected.
Hybrid plant modelled in Simulink with load, irradiance and tariff profiles; dispatch strategies compared on a year of data.
Dispatch rules, modes, priorities, limits and transitions written as a functional design specification.
EMS implemented on the plant controller in IEC 61131-3, with optimisation where the case justifies it.
Simulation-based and hardware-in-the-loop testing and FAT with grid-loss, genset-failure and battery-limit scenarios run against the plan.
Thirty-day performance review after commissioning against the modelled savings.
Scope
Fuel is the biggest cost on a hybrid plant. Dispatch logic is the cheapest way to cut it.
The core of the EMS: who serves the load, when and why.
Keep the plant alive when the grid is not.
Protect the asset and its warranty.
Plan ahead, not just react.
Every decision recorded with its reason.
Designed to align with IEC 61850, IEC 62443, IEEE 1547 / IEEE 2800 and the applicable national grid code. We do not certify equipment; certification, where required, is by an accredited body or the grid operator.
Who it serves
| Who | Typical scope | What they get |
|---|---|---|
| Mini-grid developers | Fuel-save EMS with islanding | Lower diesel spend, higher availability, lender-grade reporting |
| C&I plants with gensets | Peak shaving and genset coordination | A smaller bill and fewer generator hours |
| Telecom, data centre and industrial sites | Reserve, black start and load priority | Critical load protected through grid events |
| IPPs with BESS | Arbitrage, services and battery-life control | Revenue without warranty risk |
Generators run only when needed.
Limits enforced, warranty protected.
Islanding and black start by design.
Rules written down and owned by you.
Verified against the model after commissioning.
PV, BESS, gensets and grid, in any combination.
Questions
On grid-connected plants the EMS decides what to do and the PPC makes the point of connection comply with it; they are usually delivered together. On isolated plants the EMS can run alone.
Yes, through the genset controller's protocol (most controllers expose Modbus) rather than dry contacts, so the EMS sees load, fuel and state. For monitoring alone, see VETRA DGM.
It depends on load shape, solar resource and storage size. The modelling stage gives you a number for your plant before you commit; the thirty-day review verifies it.
Yes. IEC 61131-3 implementation on an industrial controller of your choice, or on the VETRA site controllers.
PPC, EMS and SCADA are designed together, by the same engineers, on the same model and document register. Buy one or all three.

Engineering services — Service 03 · SCADA & HMI
SCADA brings every OEM device — inverters, batteries, gensets, meters, relays, weather stations — into one supervisory system with alarms, trends, historian and reporting. We design, integrate, secure and commission it, and we review other vendors' SCADA packages as Owner's Engineer.
The goalGive the operator, the owner and the lender the same verified picture of the plant, from one system they control, with the alarms, history and reports to run it well and to prove how it ran.
Each OEM cloud shows its own equipment. No one sees the plant, and no data set can be relied on for operations or settlement.
Thousands of device alarms with no philosophy, no priority and no response procedure. The real fault is missed in the noise.
Data is kept for a month on a device, then gone. Performance questions, warranty claims and lender reports cannot be answered.
Modbus registers, IEC 61850 datasets and DNP3 points were set up by different people and never documented. A single change breaks the plant view.
Controllers reachable from any laptop, default passwords, no zones. The plant is one phishing email from an outage.
Each OEM controls its own equipment well; nobody owns the plant-level control. We sit above the OEM controllers and work with any inverter, battery, genset or protection vendor, and we do not resell their equipment.
How it works
Each stage ends with a numbered deliverable, reviewed with you before the next stage starts. See the documents you receive.
Every device, protocol, address and point listed; existing systems and networks assessed.
Architecture, data model, tag naming, alarm philosophy, HMI standard and cybersecurity zones specified.
Drivers configured and tested device by device; communication matrix and tag register issued.
HMI screens, alarm lists, trends, historian and reports built to the standard.
Point-to-point checks, FAT and SAT with signed-off test records.
Scope
Every reading graded, every alarm prioritised, every point documented — before the plant is handed over.
Every device on one data model.
Screens and alarms designed for operators, not for vendors.
Keep the record and make it useful.
A control network built to be defended.
An independent eye on a vendor's package.
From one site to a fleet.
Who it serves
| Who | Typical scope | What they get |
|---|---|---|
| EPC contractors | SCADA scope of the EPC contract | Delivered to your numbering, tested, handed over |
| Plant owners and IPPs | Replacement or upgrade of vendor SCADA | A system you own, with the history your lender needs |
| Developers and portfolio owners | One standard across many sites | Fleet view and the same report from every site |
| Owners and lenders | Owner's Engineer review of a vendor package | Independent comments before construction, not after |
Every device, every brand, one screen.
Priority, procedure, fewer nuisance alarms.
A historian the lender and off-taker can rely on.
Tag register and communication matrix handed over.
Zones, hardening, secure access.
Vendor packages checked before they are built.
Questions
Yes. The survey stage lists what is installed; the usual path is to run the new system in parallel, migrate the historian, then cut over at a planned outage.
The VETRA SCADA platform, or an industrial SCADA platform of the client's choice. The design deliverables are platform-independent.
We design the architecture and specify the equipment; installation is by the client's network contractor or under a separate scope.
An independent review of a vendor's design package on the owner's behalf, with a numbered comment log the vendor must answer before the design is issued for construction.

Control logic is tested against a simulated plant before it is trusted with a real one. We run faults, outages, ramps and communication failures against a model of your site, and release only what passed.
Plant, network and protection model built from the design basis.
Model behaviour checked against expected plant behaviour.
The project's control logic runs against the model.
Faults, grid loss, irradiance ramps, setpoint steps, comms loss.
Timing, limits and control-loop behaviour recorded.
Pass or fail against the functional design specification.
Signed record and configuration baseline.
The approved configuration goes to factory and site acceptance.
Power plant control, inverter and battery dispatch, microgrid sequencing, islanding and black start, SCADA data paths and communication failure modes.
MATLAB/Simulink plant models and IEC 61131-3 controller logic — the same toolchain used to build VETRA.
Behaviour is proven before site, so commissioning confirms rather than discovers. Simulation results are never presented as field compliance.
Every project moves through the same gated sequence, and every gate has a document, a test or a decision attached. The control system is a first-class deliverable, not the last box on the schedule.
Every project moves through the same gated sequence. Each gate has a document, a test or a decision attached.
Each document carries a controlled number (LE-[DOCTYPE]-[SITE]-VETRA-[SEQ]) and a revision history, so an owner, lender or auditor can trace what was designed, what was tested and what is running.
We stay after commissioning. Assets are tracked from serial number to decommissioning, work is scheduled from data rather than calendars, and every ticket has an owner and a clock.
Tracked per asset: serial number, OEM and model, installation date, warranty, service contract, firmware, maintenance history, operating hours, performance, faults, spares and documentation.
VETRA Care — Intelligent power. Supported for performance.
VETRA Care is the subscription that keeps a commissioned controller supported, updated and watched. One plan per site, sized to the controller class, with Fleet Manager included in every tier.
For sites that need the platform kept current and a desk to call.
The plan most sites run: supported, monitored and reviewed.
For plants where an hour down is measured in money or in patients.
Warranty is honoured with or without a plan, and per-incident support is available to sites without one. Service levels are written into each agreement in plain words — we do not print a blanket 24/7 promise we cannot staff.
Preventive and corrective maintenance visits and extended warranty can be added to any tier. Multi-site and multi-year agreements are priced as a frame. The full inclusions of each tier are set out in the programme description.
A SCADA integrator sits between the people who build a plant and the people who have to run it. We work for both.
SCADA, PPC and EMS as a subcontracted package with fixed acceptance criteria, so the control system stops being the schedule risk.
One vendor-neutral platform across plants and OEMs, with the documentation and data that keep a portfolio bankable.
Programme KPIs, contracted-performance tracking and remote support for fleets of smaller sites.
Plant controllers and telemetry that behave at the point of interconnection the way the grid code expects.
Alarms, work orders and condition data that turn maintenance from calendar-driven to evidence-driven.
Independent review of control packages, availability reporting and audit-ready records.
Factories, hotels, hospitals, banks and estates with captive power that need dispatch on cost and uptime they can prove.
Distributed sites managed as one fleet rather than a thousand installations.
Hospitals, schools and public buildings under electrification programmes, with performance data that can be audited.
The public website, the customer platform and the operational technology are different systems with different security boundaries. Nothing on a public page can reach a breaker.
Standards are stated as design alignment. Certifications appear on this page only once they are verified.
Permit-to-work, lockout/tagout, inspection and incident reporting are part of every scope. Hot-works and cold-works commissioning steps are separated and signed off.
Controlled documents with revision history, factory and site acceptance records, and configuration baselines for every controller we deploy.
Certifications and registrations are listed in the register below.

Lapomik Energy is the SCADA integration and VETRA platform business of Lapomik Energy Group, an integrated renewables, gas, digital energy, energy management, power systems and technical training group headquartered in Port Harcourt. The group is built on six business pillars that share one engineering discipline, one platform and one support organisation.
Solar PV, gas-fuelled generation and gensets, integrated as one plant.
Battery energy storage for firming, backup, black start and peak shaving.
SCADA, power plant control and EMS by VETRA above every OEM.
Aggregated data, digital twins and AI that explain, predict and recommend with evidence.
A typical customer journey through the group. Each step stands alone; together they form one relationship with one platform, one document system and one support desk.
The complete control-system scope for PV, battery storage and hybrid plants: engineered, proven on the bench, commissioned on site and documented for the owner.
Lapomik Energy's own platform: one operator view to monitor, control and aggregate every asset, whatever the OEM, with control that never depends on the cloud.
Turn every diesel or gas generator into a measured, accountable asset. For most businesses this is the first step, and the diesel baseline it produces is the foundation of any solar or hybrid business case.
Fleet conversion to compressed natural gas at our Port Harcourt conversion centre, with monitoring built in. Natural gas is becoming the practical alternative to petrol and diesel for fleets; we make the switch measurable.
Illustrative inputs — replace every figure with your own. Results are arithmetic on your inputs, not a quotation.
Compressed natural gas supply infrastructure for converted fleets and industrial users, developed alongside the conversion business so that a customer who converts can also fuel.
Lapomik CNG Academy for conversion and station technicians, and a controls programme that trains operators and engineers on a live hybrid plant, LPK-PH-TRN-01 in Port Harcourt — so the first plant a graduate operates is not the customer's.

Our direction
What is available, what is next and what we are building toward. Items beyond "Available now" describe direction, not a delivery commitment.
Engineering notes, product documents and a technical webinar series built around live simulations — roughly seventy per cent education, the rest demonstration.
SCADA asks what is happening? The PPC asks how should the plant respond? The EMS asks what should the energy system do next? Each session answers one of them on a simulated plant.
Dates are announced by e-mail. All simulated plants are hypothetical and labelled as such.
Both, depending on the plant. VETRA sits above the OEM device controllers as the plant master; each OEM controller keeps executing on its own equipment. Where a legacy or end-of-life plant SCADA exists, we migrate it to VETRA without stopping production.
Yes. Retrofit scopes are common: we build the interface list from the installed equipment, validate the control logic in simulation against a model of the plant, then commission in planned windows.
Clause by clause. GridTwin simulation proves the logic before site; site compliance tests with the system operator prove it in the field. Simulation results are never presented as field compliance.
Control and the historian run on site. Cloud aggregation through Fleet Manager is optional and passes through a DMZ; the plant keeps operating through a connectivity loss and back-fills data afterwards.
Open protocols first — SunSpec Modbus, Modbus TCP/RTU, IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, OPC UA, MQTT, CANbus and J1939 — with a driver library of 73 devices and new drivers added per project. Compatibility with a specific model is confirmed during engineering and recorded in the project register.
A controlled documentation package: functional design specification, I/O and tag database, interface and communication matrices, network and cybersecurity architecture, simulation, FAT and SAT records, grid-compliance report, as-built drawings, configuration baseline, manuals and training records.
Remote-first Level 1 and Level 2 support from Port Harcourt through the Support Portal, Remote Operations Centre supervision, and preventive and corrective maintenance. Response and resolution targets are stated in each service agreement.
Yes. Operator and engineer training runs on the live hybrid plant at LPK-PH-TRN-01 in Port Harcourt, and project-specific training is part of every handover.

Engineering depth
Lapomik combines real-time SCADA, hybrid EMS/PPC, simulation, commissioning and analytics in one engineering workflow. The result is a control layer designed around the plant rather than a single equipment vendor.
