Behind the recognition of industry institutions, it is inseparable from the successful application of Schneider Electric EcoStruxure open automation platform by customers. Recently, Brilliant Planet announced the deployment of the EcoStruxure open automation platform in its carbon capture project.

As a pioneer in the field of algal carbon capture technology, Brilliant Planet plants microalgae in open-air pond systems in coastal areas, using algae to permanently and quantitatively capture and store carbon in the atmosphere, with a scale of up to one billion tons. This method is cost-effective and crucial in addressing global climate change. However, Brilliant Planet faces numerous challenges in order to further replicate and expand the project on a global scale. The reason for this is that the carbon capture process requires a highly flexible and efficient control system with the ability to scale as needed.

Application modularization and standardization are solutions that help industrial automation software systems achieve efficient expansion. For this reason, Brilliant Planet has chosen to deploy the EcoStruxure open automation platform, which not only shortens the integration and testing time of control software at various project points, but also establishes a customizable and scalable system based on standardized applications, and combines the AVEVA system platform and AVEVA Insight to conduct comprehensive visual management and control of the system’s operation.

Adam Taylor, CEO of Brilliant Planet, said, “The Schneider Electric EcoStruxure open automation platform solution can help us replicate, transplant, and extend the control systems of various projects, which helps improve our resource management capabilities and utilization efficiency. In the future, we hope to further promote the expansion of carbon capture projects based on this system
