Holloman Air Force Base Atlas Solar Array
Case Study

The Problem
The contractor who installed the array had failed to include a critical life safety element – protective device settings to safeguard the existing substation against surges from the new solar array. This resulted in a costly delay as they weren’t able to use their new system.

The Solution
We developed an electrical distribution model to account for the photovoltaic generation system and analyzed the protective device settings required to not only improve system reliability, but to protect base equipment and personnel as well.

The Results
Providing this critical piece not only allowed the Holloman Air Force Base (AFB) to begin using the solar array, but our continued support ensured that it was safe and operational. As a result of our quick turnaround, the project achieved significant cost savings and they were able to meet their goals for mission resiliency and environmental impact.
