Between April 13-14, 2024, Iran launched a large-scale airstrike on Israel, with missile hits damaging the "Nevatim" airbase in the Negev region. In September, Hezbollah carried out an unusual night barrage on the "Ramat David" airbase near Haifa. These attacks were part of ongoing attempts to target Israeli Air Force bases and disrupt critical infrastructure. The IDF has been preparing for such threats to ensure operational continuity. This project designed such a facility in compliance with electricity regulations, focusing on safety, resilience, and energy efficiency. The design includes high- voltage and low-voltage panels, UPS and emergency backup systems, energy storage components, and grounding; along with planning for power, lighting, and conductors, and power factor improvement. The design successfully underwent extensive operational and safety tests.

This project designed a floating photovoltaic system with a production capacity of 3MW, intended for installation on a 75-dunam water reservoir located near the town of Nevatim in the Negev. During the design, the selected type of solar panels and their installation method were evaluated to allow for maximum utilization of solar energy in this sun-rich region. In addition, inverters were selected to convert the DC voltage generated by the panels into AC voltage. According to the size of the facility, transformers were designed to adapt the voltage to the local electric grid. Furthermore, low-voltage panels were designed to supply power to various systems serving Netavim, such as security, communication, lighting, fire protection, and more.
