What operators get from VETRA

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.

Monitor

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.

Control

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.

Aggregate

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.

Assure

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 — Monitor. Control. Optimize. Transform.

One platform for operators: monitor, control, aggregate

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.

VETRA Hybrid Control — Blend. Reserve. Island. Control.

One control platform, from fuel-save to full microgrid

Intelligent power, controlled for performance. The VETRA controller family is a ladder: start with the class the site needs today, and move up when storage, a grid connection or islanding is added — without changing platform, screens or support desk.

Fuel-save

VETRA Blend

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.

  • Genset minimum-load protection and reverse-power prevention
  • Zero-export and curtailment with ramp control
  • Fuel-save reporting against a measured baseline
VB-100VB-200VB-500VB-1000VB-3000
Storage microgrid

VETRA Reserve

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.

  • State-of-charge window and charge/discharge limits
  • Genset auto-start and stop on state of charge
  • VR-100 for one backup genset, VR-200 for two
VR-100VR-200
Full microgrid

VETRA Island

PV + grid + BESS + gensets

The complete microgrid controller: grid-connected and islanded operation, controlled transfer between them, and black start when everything is down.

  • Islanding detection, transition and resynchronisation
  • Black start and source sequencing
  • Cost- and reliability-based dispatch across every source
VI-SVI-MVI-L
Above the ladder

VETRA H-PPC

Hybrid power plant controller

For larger and grid-code-bound plants beyond the Island range: plant-level control at the point of interconnection, engineered per project with full SCADA.

  • Active/reactive power, voltage, frequency and ramp-rate control
  • System-operator interface and compliance testing
  • Redundant architecture and project documentation package
Engineered per project

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.

Reference SCADA architecture

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.

      Services

      Data aggregation, settlement, invoicing and payments

      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.

      Aggregation

      Meter, inverter, battery and genset data from every OEM and every site normalised into one model, with gaps flagged rather than hidden.

      Settlement engine

      Contracted energy, availability targets, penalties and performance certificates calculated from validated data under the rules of each agreement.

      Three-way validation

      Operator claim, platform record and owner verification compared before any amount is approved. Estimated data is never presented as measured.

      Payments

      Approved invoices move to payment through a secure payment provider, then reconcile back to the settlement period.

      Governance

      Role-based approvals, a full audit trail and dispute handling, so every figure can be traced to its source reading.

      OT / finance separation

      Settlement reads plant data; it cannot write to a plant. Financial users never sit on the control network.

      Invoice lifecycle

      1. Draft
      2. Submitted
      3. Under validation
      4. Owner review
      5. Approved
      6. Payment processing
      7. Paid & reconciled

      VETRA Settlement & Availability Audit

      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

      Many sites, dispatched as one 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.

      Site first, fleet second

      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.

      Fail-safe by design

      If the link to the platform is lost, each site falls back to its local operating mode. Control never depends on the cloud.

      Deterministic dispatch

      Requests are scheduled, signed and logged. Every dispatch has a record of what was asked, what the site accepted and what was delivered.

      Settled on measured data

      Delivered flexibility is verified from metered data and carried through the same validation and invoice lifecycle as our settlement service.

      Secured end to end

      Device identity, signed commands and zoned networks, designed to align with IEC 62443. Financial and market users never sit on the control network.

      Open by intent

      A canonical model across OEMs today; open demand-response and DER interfaces are on the roadmap, confirmed per programme.

      Phased path

      Foundations
      • Canonical asset model across the fleet
      • Device identity and signed commands
      • VPP dispatch mode on the site controller
      First fleet
      • Behind-the-meter commercial and industrial sites
      • One counterparty, one agreed service
      • Programme-agreed measurement and verification
      Phase 2
      • Forecasting of solar, load and availability
      • Open demand-response interfaces
      • Electric-vehicle charging as flexible load
      Phase 3
      • Smaller and residential assets
      • Grid services, where the market and regulation allow

      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.

      The energy control layer for data centres

      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.

      Source orchestration

      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.

      Genset and fuel security

      Sequencing, loading and run-hour balancing, plus VETRA DGM for tank levels, consumption, refills and autonomy in hours at the present load.

      Storage and UPS coordination

      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.

      Solar and tariff optimisation

      On-site PV integrated without disturbing the critical bus; time-of-use and demand charges managed where the tariff rewards it.

      Efficiency and tenant data

      PUE and energy KPIs by hall, by system and by tenant; sub-metering and allocation data ready for billing and sustainability reporting.

      Resilience and recovery

      Controlled transfer, load-shed priorities and black-start sequencing, rehearsed in simulation before they are needed on the floor.

      Open integration

      Modbus, SNMP, BACnet, OPC UA, IEC 61850 and REST to BMS, DCIM and owner systems. Supported points depend on the interfaces your equipment exposes.

      OT cybersecurity

      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.

      Operations and support

      Remote Operations Centre supervision and a VETRA Care plan, with response targets written into the agreement.

      Three ways to engage

      • Control platformVETRA software and integration on your existing plant, as a subscription with integration services.
      • Turnkey EMSDesigned, supplied, validated in simulation, commissioned and handed over with a full documentation package.

      VETRA EV — charging energy management

      Electric vehicles, charged by a site that can carry them

      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.

      Dynamic load management

      Charging power shared across bays within the site's connection and transformer limits, so adding chargers does not mean upgrading the supply first.

      Solar-first charging

      Vehicles that are parked through the day absorb the solar the site would otherwise curtail; charging follows the sun where the schedule allows.

      Storage-buffered fast charging

      Battery storage delivers the short, high peaks of DC charging and refills slowly — fast charging on a connection that could not supply it directly.

      Ready-by scheduling

      Each vehicle gets the energy it needs by its departure time, in priority order, at the lowest cost the tariff and the sources allow.

      Weak-grid and off-grid hubs

      Charging continues through grid outages on solar, storage and gensets, with genset running kept to the minimum the schedule requires.

      Measured, per vehicle

      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.

      Who it is for

      • Fleet depotsLogistics, buses, staff transport and last-mile delivery.
      • Workplaces and campusesFactories, offices, hospitals, hotels and estates adding charging to a captive plant.
      • Charging hub developersPublic and highway hubs where the grid connection is the constraint.
      • Two- and three-wheelersBattery-swap and charging stations with many small batteries on one supply.

      One clean-mobility path

      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.

      1. Measure the fleet
      2. Convert to CNG where it pays
      3. Electrify where it fits
      4. Charge from the site's own energy
      5. Offer parked vehicles as flexible load

      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.

      Plant types and sectors we integrate

      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.

      How

      MATLAB/Simulink plant models and IEC 61131-3 controller logic — the same toolchain used to build VETRA.

      Why it matters

      Behaviour is proven before site, so commissioning confirms rather than discovers. Simulation results are never presented as field compliance.

      Delivery process and documentation

      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.

      VETRA Care — Intelligent power. Supported for performance.

      Support, software and maintenance after commissioning

      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.

      Keep-alive

      Care Essential

      For sites that need the platform kept current and a desk to call.

      • Software updates and security patches
      • Remote support in working hours
      • Fleet Manager renewal
      Reference plan

      Care Advanced

      The plan most sites run: supported, monitored and reviewed.

      • Everything in Essential
      • Remote monitoring and alarm follow-up
      • Response and resolution targets by severity
      Mission-critical

      Care Premium

      For plants where an hour down is measured in money or in patients.

      • Everything in Advanced
      • On-call critical response
      • Priority handling for critical incidents

      Plain terms

      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.

      Field maintenance

      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.

      Who we work for

      A SCADA integrator sits between the people who build a plant and the people who have to run it. We work for both.

      Manufacturing plant with rooftop solar, generators and storage
      Illustrative render

      EPC contractors

      SCADA, PPC and EMS as a subcontracted package with fixed acceptance criteria, so the control system stops being the schedule risk.

      Asset owners and IPPs

      One vendor-neutral platform across plants and OEMs, with the documentation and data that keep a portfolio bankable.

      Developers, RESCOs and mini-grid operators

      Programme KPIs, contracted-performance tracking and remote support for fleets of smaller sites.

      Utilities and system operators

      Plant controllers and telemetry that behave at the point of interconnection the way the grid code expects.

      O&M contractors

      Alarms, work orders and condition data that turn maintenance from calendar-driven to evidence-driven.

      Lenders and development institutions

      Independent review of control packages, availability reporting and audit-ready records.

      Commercial and industrial facilities

      Factories, hotels, hospitals, banks and estates with captive power that need dispatch on cost and uptime they can prove.

      Telecom and infrastructure operators

      Distributed sites managed as one fleet rather than a thousand installations.

      Public institutions

      Hospitals, schools and public buildings under electrification programmes, with performance data that can be audited.

      Enterprise architecture

      Part of Lapomik Energy Group — Renewables & Gas

      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.

      Generation

      Solar PV, gas-fuelled generation and gensets, integrated as one plant.

      Storage

      Battery energy storage for firming, backup, black start and peak shaving.

      Control

      SCADA, power plant control and EMS by VETRA above every OEM.

      Intelligence

      Aggregated data, digital twins and AI that explain, predict and recommend with evidence.

      How the pillars work together

      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.

      1. Measure the gensets (DGM)
      2. Add solar and storage (SCADA/PPC/EMS)
      3. Operate everything on VETRA
      4. Convert the fleet to CNG
      5. Fuel it at the daughter station
      6. Train the people (Academy)
      Hybrid mini-grid reference design
      Pillar 1

      Solar & BESS — SCADA / PPC / EMS

      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.

      What it delivers

      • Plant SCADA: HMI, historian, alarm management and reporting
      • Power plant controller at the point of interconnection — active/reactive power, voltage, frequency, ramp rate and curtailment (ADRC-based control)
      • Hybrid EMS: optimisation-based dispatch of PV, storage, gensets and grid; state-of-charge management, genset sequencing, islanding and black start
      • IEC 61850 integration with protection relays, switchgear and PCC metering; system-operator links over IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP3
      • OT network, cybersecurity zoning, simulation-based validation, FAT, SAT and a controlled documentation package

      Who it is for

      • EPC contractors delivering PV, BESS and hybrid plants
      • Independent power producers and asset owners
      • Mini-grid developers and RESCOs under national programmes
      • Commercial and industrial sites with captive power
      On VETRA: the plant runs on a DIN-rail fanless industrial controller with an IEC 61131-3 runtime; control logic is developed in MATLAB/Simulink, validated in simulation, then deployed. OEM device controllers are retained as executors; VETRA is the plant master.
      Modelled value, reference plant. For a ≈4 MWp PV, 2 MW / 4 MWh-class BESS, two-genset plant, our white paper models 90,000–227,000 litres of avoidable diesel a year when the EMS integrates gensets over communications rather than dry contacts. It is a model with stated assumptions, not a guarantee — ask for the paper.
      VETRA operations view
      Pillar 2

      VETRA — the SCADA, PPC and EMS platform

      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.

      What it delivers

      • SCADA · PPC · EMS with 47+ plant KPIs and a 73-device driver library
      • Fleet Manager for multi-site portfolios; Data Aggregation & Settlement for programme owners and operators paid against contracted KPIs
      • Revenue & Availability dashboard: contracted energy, availability targets, penalties, performance certificates and the invoice lifecycle between programme owner and operator
      • GridTwin digital twin and grid-code compliance engine; validation in simulation; VETRA Shield OT cybersecurity
      • VETRA Intelligence copilot on a five-phase roadmap — Observer, Analyst, Engineer, Digital Twin, Autonomous Operations — with autonomy levels 0–6 and a hard rule that AI is never the final control authority

      Who it is for

      • Plant operators and Remote Operations Centres
      • Owners, programme agencies and lenders that need investor-grade data
      • RESCOs and O&M contractors reporting against KPIs
      • EPCs specifying a vendor-neutral plant master
      On VETRA: deployed edge-first (redundant plant servers or a DIN-rail controller), cloud for aggregation, hybrid by default; multi-tenant, offline-first, IEC 62443-aligned zoning.

      VETRA DGM fuel monitoring kit
      Pillar 3

      Generator monitoring — VETRA DGM

      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.

      What it delivers

      • Fuel level, consumption and refills; fuel theft and pilferage detection against a load-adjusted baseline
      • Run hours, loading, kWh produced, starts and stops, and the real cost per kWh of every unit
      • Health indicators and alarms to the Support Portal, e-mail and WhatsApp
      • Retrofit to existing gensets: tank level sensing, a telemetry gateway and controller communications over Modbus or J1939 — communications-based integration preferred over dry contacts
      • Single-site or fleet view in Fleet Manager, with monthly reports

      Who it is for

      • Factories, hotels, hospitals, banks and estates
      • Telecom, retail and logistics operators with many sites
      • Facility managers and CFOs who need to see where the diesel goes
      • Owners planning a solar or hybrid upgrade and needing the baseline
      On VETRA: DGM data feeds the same historian and KPIs as the plant SCADA, so a generator that is monitored today becomes a dispatchable asset when solar and storage are added.
      Pillar 4

      CNG vehicle conversion — Lapomik CNG

      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.

      What it delivers

      • Vehicle assessment and eligibility, engine and duty-cycle review
      • Kit installation: cylinders, high-pressure lines, regulator and injection system, with safety inspection and documentation
      • Post-conversion servicing and periodic cylinder and system inspection
      • VETRA CNG monitoring for fleets: fills, consumption and savings tracked per vehicle
      • Fleet rollout planning: pilot vehicles first, then phased conversion

      Who it is for

      • Logistics and haulage fleets
      • Commercial transport operators and unions
      • Oil-servicing and industrial contractors
      • Government and corporate vehicle pools
      On VETRA: each converted vehicle reports fuel use and savings into Fleet Manager, so the finance team sees the payback it was promised.

      CNG daughter station
      Pillar 5

      CNG daughter station

      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.

      What it delivers

      • Cascade storage and dispensing for vehicles and industrial cylinders
      • Supply by tube trailer from a mother station
      • VETRA CNG cascade monitoring: cascade pressure and temperature, dispensed quantities and reconciliation, safety alarms
      • Fleet accounts with per-vehicle consumption feeding Fleet Manager
      • Designed to operate within the national CNG programme framework and applicable safety codes

      Who it is for

      • Fleets converted at Lapomik CNG
      • Transport operators seeking a reliable fill point in Port Harcourt
      • Industrial users of natural gas cylinders
      • Investors and partners in gas distribution infrastructure
      On VETRA: the station reports to the same platform as the plants and the fleets, so gas supplied, gas dispensed and vehicle consumption reconcile in one ledger.

      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.

      • Session 1Who is really controlling your renewable power plant? SCADA, PPC and EMS explained.
      • Session 2The hybrid power plant: with and without an EMS.
      • Session 3From megawatts to money: metering, validation and settlement.
      • Session 4Building a grid intelligence layer.

      Dates are announced by e-mail. All simulated plants are hypothetical and labelled as such.

      Questions we get from EPCs and owners

      Do you replace the OEM's SCADA or work alongside it?

      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.

      Can you add a power plant controller or EMS to a plant that is already operating?

      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.

      How do you prove grid-code compliance?

      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.

      Where does the data live?

      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.

      Which OEMs and protocols do you support?

      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.

      What do we receive at handover?

      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.

      What support is available after commissioning?

      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.

      Do you train our operators?

      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.
