The screen capture below shows one of our test management and automatic control system interfaces with data visualization, auto-documentation, and test suite sub-menus. This one controls and tests a solar parabolic dish power system. The Energy Control Lab makes customized consoles for laptops or workstations, local or remotely networked, as well as specialized hardware involving dedicated panels, switches, LEDs and other displays, backup power; in short, everything you need to commission, maintain, and run your facility.

ECL builds complete scalable real-time data acquisition and control systems, along with the necessary sensors and conditioning electronics. These typically include accelerometers, temperature and pressure sensors, microphones, voltage, current, and optical, inertial, and magnetometer-augmented, displacement and motion sensing.

ECL systems have been used in national research facilities, concentrated solar thermal and PV pilot plants, and in start-up laboratories. Start with a basic system for your high-resolution initial research and development, then add elements (such as remote interfaces, safety interlocks, centralized logging, customer consoles..) as you need them.
