Total Protection is the best choice for photovoltaic field security<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The requirement<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A 9.4 Megawatt photovoltaic field in the province of Turin<\/strong>, North of Italy, needed the highest possible level of protection on the market and asked the builder of the plant, Sicurtel to propose a solution. After formulating a design plan for the property, the client asked Sicurtel to fulfill the requirement.<\/p>\n

“The client asked for a solution whereby the network infrastructure was sturdy and scalable and all elements operate simultaneously including the security system, the video-surveillance system and the other equipment<\/strong> used to monitor electricity production. Moreover, to comply with provincial laws, the video-surveillance system had to ensure low luminous impact at night meaning, it had to operate satisfactorily without any lights on<\/strong>, except in exceptional circumstances.” explains Claudio Toaldo, owner of Sicurtel.<\/p>\n

The challenge<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With a perimeter length of 4,000 metres,<\/strong> and potential electromagnetic interference caused by 12 inverters<\/strong> installed on the field, Sicurtel constructed a closed-loop fibre optic Ethernet infrastructure <\/strong>using o-ring technology with 12 field switches. All systems needed to be operational on an open IP platform, in poor visibility conditions<\/strong> and an extended temperature range of -40\u00b0C\/+75\u00b0C.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The solution<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

28 CIAS ERMO 482X PRO<\/a> microwave barriers<\/strong> + 11 Ulisse Compact IP 36 + Videotec 110mt IR cameras were installed to give full protection. The CIAS barriers are connected in the field through 15 x 485\/Ethernet IB-FMCREP-ETH converters and controlled by an IB-System IP server<\/strong>. The Videotec cameras used for surveillance guarantee the lowest environmental impact during night-time monitoring and are also fitted with a powerful optical zoom lens for close-up inspection when necessary, eg. if triggered by the barrier\u2019s pre-alarm threshold.<\/p>\n

Sicurtel chose the Milestone XProtect\u00ae s<\/strong>ystem due to its fully integrated platform able to manage all of the field equipment<\/strong> on an IP platform. The client was highly satisfied with the<\/p>\n
