The challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BFP Service is an important EPC that is investing significant resources in the construction of photovoltaic fields in Italy, following the growing demand for renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A photovoltaic field is a site with a complex orography that is mostly irregular and may therefore have vulnerable points along its perimeter which malign actors could seek to exploit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar panels within photovoltaic fields contain expensive materials, with theft attempts commonplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brintek\u2019s challenge was to design a surveillance system that was operational 24 hours a day and that reduced manual surveillance on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brintek, with the help of the technical and commercial staff of Hanwha Vision<\/span> and the local support of distributor Compass Distribution, designed a perimeter protection system using both thermal and visible cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology, with advanced edge analysis, enables real-time alarms in the event of an intrusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras, given their ability to operate in all light conditions and in most weather conditions, including fog and rain, were placed on the fence around the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, 5MP cameras with on-board AI algorithms capable of identifying people from other irrelevant motion, such as animals or moving trees, were installed at juncture points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The word to the integrator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been working in the world of physical security for many years, and combine the skills of a systems integrator with the centralisation of sites we protect in our control room in Brindisi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe project for BFP Service provided results in just a few days of testing \u2013 promptly and immediately identifying two intrusion attempts. The site was targeted by malign actors who cut through the metal mesh fence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Hanwha Vision<\/span> perimeter protection system with thermal cameras immediately identified the intrusion, sending the event to our alarm reception centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe correct alerts were activated at the power station for an intervention by on-site security personnel who warned away the intruders, saving the site and keeping the photovoltaic system online and free of interruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis system is just one of many that Brintek has designed and created with Hanwha Vision<\/span> cameras in thermal and visible technology.\u201d (Alessandro Annigo, General Manager Brintek)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The word to the end user<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe chose Brintek for its strong position as a systems integrator. We were offered a 360\u00b0 service that began with the protection project and ended with the centralisation and remote monitoring of the site. Brintek proved to be a competent and professional company, and the choice of Hanwha Vision<\/span> cameras and technology was the right one for our needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a builder and O&M operator of several similar sites, our company will use this operating model as a standard for the protection of all other sites we build in the area. The operational continuity of the power plants of which we are O&M operators represents an intrinsic value in the ability to produce energy without theft or interruptions.\u201d (BFP Service CEO Annarita Mitola).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
