Energy & Utilities
Trimax has extensive expertise within the Energy and Utilities industry. Through our adaptability and innovative solutions, our team can help you accomplish even your most complex challenges.
Control Systems and Site Visibility
In an industry comprised of varying methods of collection and distribution, a dependable control system is vital. Trimax provides power generators and utilities with improved control and production capacity, as well as consistent and reliable reporting. Our custom programming and control strategy implementation allows for remote control of your system and increased efficiency.
Experience
Trimax has worked with wind turbine producers and installers to provide custom programming to remotely control the yaw and pitch of various turbines for increased efficiency. Our history with hydroelectric power ranges from program tuning for individual turbines to control strategy implementation for the entire Morris Dam project.
Trimax was responsible for all of the controls and systems integration for the Orange County cogeneration facility, which powers most of downtown Santa Ana, including critical sites like the courthouse and jail. These sites required a zero downtime solution: the cogeneration facility is completely independent of the normal power grid and must provide power at all times.
Trimax also has a longstanding partnership with Southern California Edison, in addition to other utilities, providing fabrication and testing on relay racks and MEER buildings for substations throughout Southern California. We are proud to be a Southern California Edison zero-defect partner.
