A disruption in energy production and distribution carries the risk of affecting all areas of society, from health services to national security. For this reason, ensuring the security of all types of energy sources and facilities is of strategic importance. In this direction, it is of great importance to analyze the security risks and needs of different facilities, from power plants to transmission lines, and offer special solutions.
In order to ensure the safety of coal power plants, which have excessive mobility due to the large number of entrances and exits, wind power plants generally located in open fields, and oil and natural gas resources, where even international law comes into play when it comes to their protection; It is very important to analyze possible security risks and needs very well and to get service from professionals who are experts in the subject.
Tailor-made solutions
For solution design, security risks and needs in business processes covering production, distribution and power transmission lines activities in the energy sector are analyzed first. Afterwards, many different systems such as access control and personnel attendance control systems, visitor tracking systems, video surveillance and fire detection solutions are designed in accordance with the risks and needs of the area to be protected, and the project is implemented by integrating with each other. In addition, all possible risks are presented with an inclusive and integrated preventive approach, with different service options such as Remote Monitoring, manned security, fire protection, risk consultancy.
No trespassing!
Sensormatic CMO Pelin Yelkencioğlu said, “As Sensormatic, we ensure that no outsiders enter the facilities in the energy sector. We set up an access control system that ensures that only authorized persons and vehicles are where they need to be while they are on leave. With this solution, which works integrated with other electronic security technologies, we take all risky areas under control, ensure that the security measures in these areas operate with an automatic flow, and we ensure security by minimizing human errors.”
Smart cameras on duty 24/7
Pointing out that the integrated electronic security systems installed have a deterrent effect on malicious people or those who want to enter without permission, Yelkencioğlu said, “The smart cameras placed in the area to be secured automatically detect the movements in the area with their video analysis algorithms and display potential dangers on the screen of the security unit in real time. transmits. At this point, a verbal warning can be given to the suspect with the remote voice announcement system. While this announcement ensures that a person who has entered there by accident can get away quickly, it warns malicious people or groups: “The security forces are aware of you, leave this place immediately without intervening.” explained as.
Full control over large terrains
Security in wind farms and solar power plants located in open fields is provided by night vision and analysis cameras and audio warning devices placed on border fences. Thanks to the video analysis feature, unauthorized entry or suspicious persons wandering aimlessly are instantly identified and reported to the Remote Monitoring Center. In this way, details that may escape the human eye are instantly shared with the operators and proactive measures are taken or intervened.
Facilities in regions with oil and natural gas resources are protected by camera systems with video analysis. In addition, explosion-proof security cameras are used in ports and facilities where natural gas or oil is discharged. In addition to these cameras, thermal and motion cameras are also preferred in order to increase security and not leave blind spots, as they have a large area.
In areas where it is not possible to establish a communication and energy cable line, service can be provided with mobile electronic security systems working with solar energy.
In addition, entrances and exits to areas with high security needs are made using unique physical features such as fingerprints, iris and face.
Securitas professional fire team at work
Tailor-made fire detection technologies are integrated in all energy facilities. If there is no professional fire team at the facility, Securitas, which provides a wide range of services including first response to fire, search, rescue and supervisor services, designs a project specific to the relevant facility.
