Abstract:
The invention relates to a wind turbine, comprising at least two communication protocol handlers (PH), said protocol handlers (PH) comprising means for generating and interpreting SCADA related data (SCADA: Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) according to an associated communication protocol and wherein said at least two protocol handlers (PH) being associated to different communication protocols.
Abstract:
A method of activating an ice removal system of a wind turbine comprises: monitoring the output power of the wind turbine; monitoring an output from an ice sensor provided on the wind turbine indicative of an atmospheric icing condition; and activating the ice-removal system when the output power is below an expected output power and the output from the ice sensor indicates that an atmospheric icing condition has ended.
Abstract:
The invention related to a wind farm monitoring and control system, said system comprising - at least one wind farm, - at least one intelligent management server connectable to said at least one wind farm via a data communication network, - at least one wind farm configuration tool related to said intelligent management server for establishment of connection(s) to said at least one wind farm. The present invention presents a system for monitoring and control of wind farms. The monitoring and control is performed so that it is possible to monitor and control several wind farms homogeneously. Hereby it is possible to monitor and control different wind farms simultaneously with a uniform output and it is moreover possible to compare data from the wind farms.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a central controller (CC) adapted for controlling a number of wind turbines (WT), said wind turbines (WT) are controlled and monitored by said central controller (CC) via a first monitoring and control network (MCNl) and a second monitoring and control network (MCN2). The term monitoring and control network is in accordance with an embodiment of the invention understood as a data communication network which communicates at least control data for control of wind turbines, but may also communicate monitoring data, i.e. measure data. A typical example of a control of wind turbines is that the central controller sets the power set-point (the power to be produced) of each wind turbine in the wind power plant. A further advantageous feature of the invention is also that the important control signals may be separated from high-bandwidth requiring monitoring data, such as analysis data in the communication network.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system of at least two distributed wind turbines wherein said at least two wind turbines communicate via a data communication network - said data communication network communicates monitoring and control data (MCD) to and from said at least two wind turbines (WT), - said data communication network communicates power control related data (PCRD) to and from said at least two wind turbines (WT), - said power control related data (PCRD) has higher transmission priority than a subset of said monitoring and control data (MCD) and wherein - said transmission priority is defined in relation to a protocol According to the present invention a data communication network is understood as a network that communicated data in relation to a system of distributed wind turbines. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the data communication network is a SCADA network (SCADA: supervisory control and data acquisition) system. A SCADA system is a category of software application programs for process control, the gathering of data potentially in real time from remote locations in order to control equipment and conditions and the network associated with this.
