Welcome back to the final instalment of our virtual geothermal power plant tour! In the final post of this series, we will be discussing the Motor Control Centre (MCC) and the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), both of which are integral parts of our geothermal power plant! This post includes a fascinating insight from our Project Manager, Charlotte Wilkins. The MCC (Motor Control Centre) is the nerve centre of the power plant. It not only contains all of the motor drives which control the pumps throughout the plant and high and low voltage distribution boards, it is also home to: The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), a bank of batteries that keeps the computers functioning in the event of power loss. This ensures that no data is lost. The Programmable Logic Control (PLC), the computer that controls the plant based on inputs from sensors. The signals arrive from sensors all over the plant including pressure, flow, temperature, vibration etc., and these are used to control valves and warn of any developing issues. The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) is the screen that displays all parameters of the power plant in real time and allows adjustments to be made. The base station is in the MCC, but it will be visible from individual workstations online. We hope this series has been useful and informative! Follow us so you never miss a post and stay up to date with the exciting developments here at GEL! Our new series starts next week and you won’t want to miss it! #geothermalpowerplanttour #geothermalpower #geothermalinCornwall #greenenergy #UKgeothermal #GEL #UnitedDowns #Greenerandcleaner

Reflections on Investing in African Mining Indaba 2025 After four productive and proactive days of networking, meeting new people, and attending insightful talks, it's clear that Cornwall Mining Alliance's presence at Investing in African Mining Indaba was a success. Being part of the UK Pavilion, led by Department for Business and Trade (DBT), once again reinforced #Cornwall's significance on a national scale. It was a pleasure to showcase #CornwallMiningAlliance under the British brand alongside other fantastic companies and organisations TMS MINING British Geological Survey International Geoscience Consultancy (IGS) Ltd Bell Geospace CMS Cepcor PX Equipment Ardent UK John Reid & Sons (Strucsteel) Limited - REIDsteel HMD SLR Consulting Metatek Dints University of Leicester MPP Global Kumi Consulting Ltd. We had great discussions and valuable new connections, including reconnecting with Deswik, whom we first met at Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh earlier this year. Cornwall Mining Alliance was proud to represent all our members at the conference, including through Ola Zawalna-Geer's presentation. We were also delighted to support GeoResources, with conference passes for Wardell Armstrong International (part of SLR) and Paterson & Cooke to attend under the Cornwall Mining Alliance umbrella. It was fantastic to see other #CornwallMiningAlliance members there too - North Coast Consulting Ltd., Cornish Metals Inc. and Future Terrains. Additionally, we proudly promoted the book "102 Things to Do with a Hole in the Ground" https://lnkd.in/emr7A9Ed, co-authored by Peter Whitbread-Abrutat, which sparked great discussions about the future of mining and land use. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event a success! Looking forward to building on these connections and opportunities. A big thank you to #UKSPF and #CIoSGoodGrowth, whose funding for the #Georesources Cluster Project has enabled the promotion of the #Cornwall #Georesources Sector and Cornwall Mining Alliance at many strategically important events throughout the last year.
