PV and Wind Farms
Protecting photovoltanic and wind farms is crucial to ensuring their long-term performance and safety. It is also a difficult task due to the environment..
Overview
Providing complete security for photovoltaic and wind farms is quite tricky and multi-level. It should be remembered that security consists of many factors that can and should be effectively integrated into a whole by remote monitoring software.
Indeed, the proper installation of the right cameras with good AI-based video analytics, as well as the use of thermal cameras, is one of the two basic methods of protection. The second parallel method uses perimeter protection through wires installed on the fence or ground.
However, only a quick and appropriate response to threats detected by security systems provides a real opportunity to guarantee adequate security. To o make this happen, two elements are necessary:
Safestar is the right and optimal solution for professional security companies. All you need to do is find one of them…
Using Safestar to protect PV&WF effectively
See how one of the most professional security companies using Safestar ensures safety for Poland’s largest operator of photovoltaic and wind farms.
Why Safestar?
Safestar enables remote monitoring of photovoltaic and wind farms, allowing rapid response to events in two ways: audio communications and managing physical interventions.
The system integrates seamlessly with alarms and video systems, effectively monitoring high-risk areas. It also can receive many types of technical signals from “nonsecurity” systems.
The SafestarGO mobile app makes cooperation with the client much easier because it allows you to perform many activities independently, e.g. arming and disarming video analytics, temporarily modifying schedules, etc.
The system generates automatic reports and alerts on events such as security breaches or missed connections, ensuring immediate response.
The cloud solution allows for easy scaling of the monitoring infrastructure, which is ideal for the fast-growing PV&WF industry.
Because Safestar is a cloud, we provide the highest cybersecurity standards, as confirmed by many audits.
How can you meet PV&WF operators’ expectations?
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is the foundation of protecting critical infrastructure from threats that can affect people’s lives, economic stability and national security. Security companies in the service supply chain must meet appropriate cybersecurity requirements, which comes down to using appropriate systems and taking care of their cyber resilience. Safestar is a system that meets high cybersecurity standards.
Effectiveness
Nobody wants to spend money on protection, but PV&WF operators have to, because it is critical infrastructure. Therefore, protection services based on remote monitoring must be extremely effective. On the one hand, extraordinary effectiveness, on the other limited budgets. Safestar is able to combine these two conditions through the scale effect obtained on cloud technology.
Maintenance works
Photovoltaic and wind farm operators have to deal with a lot of maintenance work. Both wind turbine and panel service require periodic and urgent visits. Such visits must be reported to security companies so that a person’s appearance in the protected area does not cause intervention. Safestar allows the PV&WF operator to define and enter service windows by web access, which makes cooperation in this area easier.
