# Rook Technologies

> Rook Technologies builds Rook SCADA, a supervisory control and data acquisition platform for wind and solar plants in India, and the Rook RTU, its own remote terminal unit. Rook introduced remote wind turbine SCADA over the mobile phone network (M2M SIM) in 2006 and has hundreds of installations from Gujarat to Tamil Nadu. Rook is a recognised data aggregator for the Tamil Nadu SLDC, and its solution meets CEA and SLDC communication and security requirements.

## Solutions

- [Rook SCADA solutions overview](https://rooktech.io/solutions/): Rook SCADA is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platform for wind and solar plants, built by Rook Technologies. It brings scattered turbines and inverters from different OEMs into one web interface for real-time monitoring, remote control, alarms and reporting, connected through Rook’s own RTU hardware over SIM or fibre.
- [Real-time Monitoring](https://rooktech.io/solutions/real-time-monitoring.html): Real-time wind turbine monitoring is the continuous collection of live operating data — power output, wind speed, status and faults — from each turbine, sent to a central system as it happens. In Rook SCADA, a Rook RTU at each machine reads the controller and sends the data over a SIM-based mobile link or fibre to a web dashboard that operators, supervisors and owners can open from anywhere.
- [Remote Control](https://rooktech.io/solutions/remote-control.html): Remote turbine control lets authorised users send commands — such as start, stop or a new setpoint — to a wind turbine from a central SCADA system rather than at the machine itself. In Rook SCADA, commands are sent from the web dashboard through the Rook RTU at the turbine, and each user’s login decides which commands they can send.
- [Alarms & Warnings](https://rooktech.io/solutions/alarms-and-warnings.html): SCADA alarm management is how a monitoring system detects abnormal conditions, ranks them by urgency and makes sure someone responds. In Rook SCADA, alarms and warnings from every turbine and inverter are prioritised, categorised and sent to the role responsible, and each one is tracked until it is acknowledged.
- [Reports & Charts](https://rooktech.io/solutions/reports-and-charts.html): A wind farm SCADA turns raw turbine data into three core reports: generation (how much energy each turbine and site produced), availability (how much of the time the machines and the grid were able to produce) and losses (energy lost to faults, downtime or grid issues, and why). Rook SCADA produces all three on demand for wind and solar plants, alongside custom charts and dashboards.
- [OEM Compatibility](https://rooktech.io/solutions/oem-compatibility.html): A multi-OEM SCADA is a single monitoring and control system that connects to equipment from several manufacturers. Instead of logging into a separate vendor portal for each turbine make, owners see every machine — whatever its OEM, model or capacity — in one interface, with the same alarms, reports and controls.
- [Rook RTU](https://rooktech.io/solutions/rook-rtu.html): A remote terminal unit (RTU) is a field device that connects equipment, such as a wind turbine controller or solar inverter, to a central SCADA system. It reads operating data, sends it to the SCADA server and carries commands back to the machine. The Rook RTU is designed and supplied by Rook, so the hardware, communication and software are engineered to work together.
- [Legacy Wind Turbine SCADA](https://rooktech.io/solutions/legacy-wind-turbine-scada.html): Third-party SCADA for older wind turbines (NEG Micon, WinWinD, Pioneer Wincon, NEPC, RRB Energy, CWEL and others) that reads the existing controller through a Rook RTU, so machines stay monitored after OEM support ends.
- [SLDC Data Aggregation](https://rooktech.io/solutions/sldc-data-aggregation.html): Collection of real-time generation data from wind and solar plants and delivery to the State Load Despatch Centre. Rook is a recognised data aggregator for the Tamil Nadu SLDC and meets CEA and SLDC requirements.
- [Solar Inverter Monitoring](https://rooktech.io/solutions/solar-inverter-monitoring.html): Real-time inverter and string monitoring for solar plants across ABB, FIMER, Gamesa Electric, SINENG, Sungrow, Trinity Touch, Kernel Sistemi and Hensel, over RF or SIM.
