This new order will supply a turnkey plant of one MW located in the same location of where the first order by Helios, a 1.9 MW plant, is being constructed, precisely at Buseto Palizzolo in the province of Trapani.
The signed agreement for the construction of the plant foresees that 9REN will take care of project development, engineering, project management, supply of material, assembly and construction of the plant, as well as the connection to the medium voltage system and various services such as the monitoring system.
The foreseen 4221 units will be set into a frame structure that does not need a foundation. The production will be supervised by EOSystem and supplied by 9REN.
EOSystem is a copyright by 9REN, with a dedicated software for static monitoring of the plants, but also to support and manage the maintenance network, a service that 9REN offers its clients. Information regarding the production and state of the art of the plant can be verified instantaneously, as well as past data thus evaluating all variable elements (day, month, year etc.).
The system is provided with a series of alarms for a complete control of the plant. 9REN technicians, in charge of the surveillance of the plant answer immediately at the alarm hot-line with all necessary maintenance actions in case of abnormalities in the correct functioning of the plant, so that often malfunctioning can actually be anticipated in the first place.
The EOSystem was recently assigned with the Invensys Operations Management Open Contest award for the category Asset Excellence. The award stands for finding innovative solutions and for Invensys products that aim at obtaining important entrepreneurial results and has identified in EOSystem by 9REN an outstanding monitoring system.
This is the second project that 9REN will realize for Helios. Both projects total three MW. The works of the first plant have already begun.
