WATCH A SHORT VIDEO

One of the largest tomato growers in the southern hemisphere - D’Vine Ripe, comissioned Power and Drive Solutions to design, supply and install a power control system that provided failsafe management for five onsite generators used to supplement mains power and provide back-up in the event of grid failure.

The control package features 5x InteliSys NT, 1x  InteliMains NT, 6x InteliVision 8 colour displays in main control panels, with 5x  IS-Displays located on each engine for local control. The system also features MainsPro, the new mains decoupling relay that provides statutory protection when working in parallel to the mains.

The whole power application is monitored continuously to ensure no interruption to the combined supply using 3G modem linked to InteliMonitor and WebSupervisor software.

Very interesting video with excellent description is available here.

Power and Drive Solutions provided a turnkey solution building the entire power house which included the supply of the five generators, main switchboard, ComAp control software and hardware all the necessary electrical installation, comissioning, testing and supporting the power operation onsite
