When Ulteig was enlisted to lead the SCADA integration at the Hillcrest Solar Project in Ohio, they were also tasked with developing a flood monitoring system to help anticipate rising water levels and mitigate any potential damage to the plant. The company approached NRG Systems about creating a system that could be integrated into the plant’s SCADA platform. While NRG had no previous experience creating flood detection systems, they were able to partner with a nearby ultrasonic sensor provider, Senix Corporation, to design and build a solution.
