We adapt ourselves to what our clients need,
not duplicate what they already have.

Success Stories

At Tri-Technic, we look for relationships and partnerships where our expertise will enhance and complement your business. In short, your success is our success. And because word of mouth is a critical part of any business, here are some of our success stories. From NASA to GE Renewables to HP Super Computer, we are proud to work with these clients and look forward to many years together.

GE Renewables

The electricity industry is facing new challenges that have not been seen in 100 years. As consumers become active power producers who demand clean, reliable, and affordable power, the transforming grid needs innovative technical solutions that can unlock new business models and revenue streams.

B.E.S.S. or Battery Energy Storage System is a project developed and constructed by G.E. and Tri-Technic to be a high power, low energy battery storage facility located in El Centro, Ca. utilizing SAMSUNG’s Lithium Ion battery technology. This was the first 30 megawatt project developed and constructed by G.E. and Tri-Technic that was sold to a municipal energy company (IID) in the United States.

For renewables developers, energy storage offers a faster alternative to a PPA, which may have a lead time of a year or more. For utilities, energy storage offers relevancy with increased distributed generation.

Energy storage can help you increase the dispatchability and predictability of renewables, helping to meet strict code and connection permits.

HP Super Computer

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and NREL collaborated to create Peregrine, an ultra-efficient high-performance computer that uses warm water for cooling. The cooling process results in hot water coming from the supercomputer, which is captured and used for space heating.

Key Infrastructure and Services

  • Space to accommodate up to two 20-foot shipping containers or large commercial vehicles up to the size of a city bus
  • Bi-directional DC power stations up to 660 kW to accommodate battery cycling and battery emulation.
  • Large drive-in environmental chamber infrastructure (mechanical system buildout based on project needs)
  • Full suite of AC and DC Research Electrical Distribution Bus (REDB) connections
  • Advanced hardware-in-the-loop and model-in-the-loop simulation capabilities, including real-time digital simulator (RTDS) and Opal-RT racks
  • Robust safety design to handle many types of battery or energy storage systems
  • Thermal buses, natural gas, compressed air

NASA

We have worked on a number of NASA projects.

These include:
NASA Ames Wind Tunnel Seismic
NASA Ames Lab Renovations
NASA Ames D-Wave Water Filtration System for Q Computer
NASA Ames UPWT 1000 KVA Aux Transformers
NASA Ames Replace ARC Jet Aerodynamic Heating Facility Heat Exchanger
NASA Ames Second Floor Lab Renovations
NASA Ames Replace ARC Jet Diffusers
NASA Ames Modular Supercomputing Facility

S.L.A.C.

S.L.A.C. – Medium Low Voltage Revitalization Project for the Stanford National Accelerator Laboratory.

The purpose of the project was to upgrade the SLAC Klystron Gallery Electrical Distribution. Demolition and removal of the selected Primary Switches. Installation of draw-out vacuum circuit breakers, CPT’s, protective relays, breaker controls, medium voltage snubbers, circuit breaker remote operation panel (CBROP), and communication devices. Installation of 12.47kV SF6 switchgear including underground vaults, duct bank, road widening, roadway gates, signs and related work, Electrical testing for new electrical equipment and cables.
