Core Real-Time Data

Overview

The Core Real-Time Data is a Certified Product Point Template for Power Plant Controllers which defines the standardized, minimum set of telemetry (e.g. time series points) Bazefield recommends for real-time monitoring of all Power Plant Controllers. These points ensure consistent data collection, improve interoperability across assets, and enable accurate reporting and analysis across your portfolio.

This point template provides a reliable baseline of real-time data expected from each Power Plant Controller modeled in Bazefield. The purpose is to:

  • Ensure consistent naming and normalization of critical telemetry available on all makes and models of Power Plant Controllers

  • Streamline configuration for SCADA or historian data ingestion

  • Support cross-site and cross-technology data normalization

Template Definition

The Core Real-Time Data point template includes telemetry definitions for standard power plant controller measurements. PPC data is optional, and it not required for Bazefield Core needs. Details on the Point Names, Descriptions, and Types are below.
