What Is It?
USA’s largest solar and battery storage system, based in the Mojave Desert, Nevada.
Its infrastructure is worth $2 billion.
What Does It Do?
1.8 million panels generate and store ≤690 Megawatts of electricity.
The energy powers 260,000 homes in Nevada.
The Setup:
- Six square miles of solar arrays
- Covers 6,500 acres with single-axis tracker solar arrays
- Includes a 380 MW battery storage system
- Delivers 380 megawatts to the U.S. national grid
- Connected to the grid via NV Energy’s Crystal Substation
The Setup:
- 186 battery storage blocks form the backbone ofthe system
- Each block contains 4 banks, totaling 20 batteryracks per block
- DC/DC charging is supplied directly from the solargrid
- Communication and control managed via fiberoptic and Ethernet connections
The Problem:
The final stretch of LAN cables passed underneath the DC-DC converter block – a hub of high-voltage energy.
The LAN cables were picking up DC bias voltages, which was corrupting the LAN data stream.
Something as small as DC bias voltages made a system uncontrollable and halt a
$2 billion operation.
The Solution:
Engineers tried multiple solutions without success.
Until they found the LAN iSilencer.
With its galvanic isolation and filtering, it was the only solution that effectively eliminated DC voltage from the data signal.
Desperate to fix their issues, Gemini’s team flew out to collect their order immediately.
Project Investment:
Scaling Up: 744 iSilencers Deployed
Large-Scale Integration of LAN iSilencer Units
$66,000 Investment in Signal Optimization
