      4 keys to ensure Physical Security in Photovoltaic Farms

      4 keys to ensure Physical Security in Photovoltaic Farms

      by | Nov 4, 2024 | Blog, Blog, Blog, SCATI News

      The photovoltaic solar energy sector has experienced remarkable growth across Europe, establishing the region as a benchmark in renewable energy generation. According to data from SolarPower Europe, 41.4 GW of new photovoltaic capacity was added across the European Union in 2022, marking a 47% increase compared to the previous year (SolarPower Europe, 2022).

      This progress positions Europe among the leading regions globally in solar expansion, although it still trails behind countries like China and the United States in terms of total installed capacity. Nevertheless, Europe’s commitment to increasing the share of clean energy continues to drive the development of new projects, reinforcing the European Union’s role as a leader in the transition to renewable energy sources and in reducing carbon emissions.

      scati-solutions-intelligent-security-photovoltaic-plants

      The growth of these types of facilities has brought with it the need to implement robust security systems to protect both infrastructure and assets, as they tend to occupy large areas in rural or isolated areas, making them vulnerable to vandalism, theft and damage to their components.

      With the outlook for growth on the rise, we find out what are the keys to ensuring safety in photovoltaic parks:

      1. Perimeter Security

      Perimeter security is one of the most critical aspects. These facilities are often located in open and sometimes remote areas, making them easy targets for intruders. The first step is to establish a secure perimeter with intelligent security systems that use technologies capable of detecting intrusions from several kilometers away, even in adverse weather and lighting conditions. Part of the thefts and damages in solar parks are due to the lack of a secure perimeter or an insufficient surveillance system. This is why it is essential to use perimeter detection technologies connected to control centers.

      SCATI’s ThermalScan cameras are designed to cover several kilometers without leaving blind spots. Thanks to their high rotation speed and optical stabilization technology, these cameras are capable of monitoring irregular perimeters and hard-to-reach areas common in this type of installation.

      ThermalScan technology offers numerous advantages over traditional high-frequency video and radio systems. Conventional video solutions often fail due to blind spots, while radio systems suffer from range limitations and operational difficulties caused by wave reflections from the PV panels themselves. ThermalScan overcomes these limitations, providing accurate and reliable detection even in environments with high interference, thus ensuring superior performance in critical surveillance scenarios.

      Access control is another fundamental aspect. The implementation of biometric identification systems, access cards or LPR (License Plate Recognition) for license plate reading at vehicle entry and exit is key to controlling access to unauthorized persons.

      In this regard, SCATI offers a comprehensive access control solution composed of an ecosystem of hardware devices and a management software platform, SCATI ACCESS.

      SCATI ACCESS is designed and developed on open standards, this software offers a solid, reliable and scalable solution to protect facilities with maximum guarantees. A solution based on advanced technologies that reduce the possibility of identity theft and ensure that only authorized persons can access those areas allowed.

      4. Integration Of Systems

      The integration of security systems and other subsystems of the plant is essential for the efficient management of the facility and its security. A platform that allows remote monitoring of cameras, sensors and control systems, industrial, fire, access, etc., thus reducing the need for unnecessary trips to the plant, will optimize resources and generate more effective management.

      SCATI SENTRY integrates multiple systems, such as CCTV, access, intrusion, perimeter detection, fire, industrial systems, lighting or air conditioning among others in a single interface, which facilitates the total control of the plant in real time.

      The platform stands out for its ability to automate responses and analyze live data, identifying suspicious patterns and enabling immediate action in the event of incidents. With its scalable and flexible approach, SCATI SENTRY ensures simplified management and efficient investment to maintain the safety and continuous operation of solar plants, being able to operate remotely without the need to travel to the installation.

        SCATI ThermalScan technology at the largest music event in Brazil

        by | Oct 4, 2024 | Blog, SCATI News

        One of the world’s most popular music events and the largest in Brazil, held in Rio de Janeiro on the weekends of September 13-15 and 19-22, is using a SCATI ThermalScan camera to monitor part of the venue’s perimeter security.

        SegurPro (a Brazilian company of the Prosegur Group) is the official company in charge of the security operation for the mega music event, which is expected to receive more than 700,000 people, and has entrusted SCATI to control part of the venue’s perimeter with a ThermalScan camera.

        Integrated with the CCO (Operations Control Center) video surveillance system, the ThermalScan camera offers a 360º view of large areas without blind spots and is highly effective in intrusion detection for large perimeters.
        In this case, the camera has been installed at a strategic point to prevent improper access of people and boats through the perimeter with the Jacarepaguá Lagoon (Rio de Janeiro).

        The fact that thermal vision is used means that the quality of the images is not affected by foggy or low light conditions (night), so the user will have a 24×7 operating system.

        “It is very satisfying that a major security player such as SegurPro relies on SCATI’s technology to protect the perimeter of this event, one of the most significant music events in Brazil and in the world.
        As a company based in Brazil for 15 years, we are delighted to be able to make our security systems available at the most important events in the country.         says Javier Larrodé, Director of SCATI Brazil.

        360º vision of large areas without blind spots

        ThermalScan cameras are capable of detecting, recognizing and tracking an unlimited number of targets (people, vehicles, etc.) automatically, over long distances even in the most adverse weather conditions and in total darkness providing high resolution images.

        These cameras cover areas several kilometres away without leaving blind spots thanks to their high-speed rotation and the use of advanced optical image stabilisation technology.

        For the protection of the areas closest to the premises to be protected, ThermalScan cameras can be associated with SCATI EYE PTZ Domes, with images already in the visible spectrum, which will automatically position themselves at those points where the intrusion is detected, in order to identify the object or person that generated the alert.
