Abstract

The article describes how the Imperial Valley Resource Recovery (IVRR), a biomass-to-electric power plant in the desert near Baja, California, improved its technology after an electrical explosion destroyed most of its control network infrastructure. IVRR contracted Dynaelectric Co. to update the electrical and process telemetry and to incorporate Ethernet-based Modbus remote terminal unit (RTU) communications and controls. The guidelines for rebuilding a control network are also provided.
