PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Solar plant to "power" 75,000 homes
Solar Reserve is a leader in solar energy projects and has advanced energy storage technology at its Crescent Dunes project facility in Nevada, which provides reliable electricity for 75,000 homes,
The objective is to provide the customer with a 100% functional and adapted system, so we integrate sensors from different manufacturers and models, supply monitoring modules mounted in cabinets, engineering of the monitoring project, configuration of monitoring systems and communications, FAT tests, validation of the installation and existing wiring, SAT plant acceptance tests, training in system operation and alarm adjustment.

RESULTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Industrial automation
The great importance of these systems lies in their criticality for the correct operation of the plant, since an unforeseen or catastrophic stop in the molten salt system can cause solidification of these salts in the pipes and pumps.
The Solar Reserve project is the U.S. clean energy project with the industry's most reliable and advanced on-demand (day and night) energy storage system, with no need for natural gas or oil backup.
