This phase of the plant will give access to geothermal fields up to five kilometres below the surface and generate electricity, and thermal energy via steam transmission for Reykjavik’s district heating system.
The vast project, with risks as a high-hazard environment, demand the highest standards in monitoring and control of the conditions of the plant.
Ark Security selected Syncro two-loop open protocol fire alarm control panels for interfacing with the plant’s smoke detection system, based on Hochiki’s ESP analogue addressable devices.
Ark Security’s Kjartan Scheving said the expandability and flexibility of Syncro control panels meant networking was straightforward.
“In the longer term, integration to much larger systems can be achieved easily, if the need arises, therefore providing a future proof solution for any installation.”
