Remote Control and Monitoring of wind turbines
Problem
Wind energy is one of the most prominent green energies on the market.
Wind farms are located in remote locations, far from civilization, in mountains or near the sea. These locations are key to good wind turbines performance, but they also involve a great deal of installation complexity.
Companies install control stations near the wind turbines to monitor, program and report on the wind farms. Without this system, the wind turbines would not function properly, as they require control and programming. In order for the controllers to function properly they must be connected to a system for monitoring, reporting power generated, parameter control, and maintenance needs.
The biggest problem lies in obtaining a secure and reliable connection to the Internet from such remote environments.
Solution
In the diagram shown you can see the solution to our problem: a wind turbine generates energy that is transmitted to an electrical network. In turn, the wind turbine control station transmits the data to a ROUTEX P, a compact but powerful 4G LTE Serial Modem, which will allow us to monitor and manage from the control center, in a reliable and secure way. ROUTEX P is not only a perfect choice for this type of industrial environment, but also has an interface with different connections by RS232 serial, RS485 bus or Ethernet network.
You will work with a secure connection with monitoring of the links with tunneling protocols, authentication and encryption. Another benefit of monitoring with ROUTEX P is that it allows us to receive reports by SMS or call.
