Wireless Network Architecture for Diagnosis and Monitoring Applications

Abstract

Abstract-This paper describes a distributed wireless network architecture for remote diagnosis and monitoring. Wind energy conversion system (WECS) is considered as the target application, where windmills are grouped into small clusters communicating with each other for the purpose of distributed diagnosis. The evaluation of this network is simulated to support effective communication needs required for fault detection and as a result to send an alarm or caution message to the remote monitoring station. However, as the sensitivity of application increases, strict requirements on availability, robustness, reliability and performance of network resources must be satisfied in order to meet industrial standards.

OPNET Simulation Model for Small Scale Wind Power Farm Monitoring Based on IEC 61400-25

“…A previous section, the optical fibers are int medium voltage cable, and then the netw follow the wind farm electrical topologie fiber cable layout may be designed in a diff the requirements of redundancy, safety an most widely types of communication netw (Radial), ring and star. Some other to combination between them; so much of ou will focus on the basic network topologie Briefly advantages and a limitation comp topologies are explained [13] (1) where N of channels for a measurable quantity, and f frequency.…”

Resiliency in offshore wind farm communication networks

“…Wei and Chen 6 compared the performance of wind power system with and without a communication network using Ethernet intelligent electronic devices LAN. Khan et al 7 described the wireless network architecture for monitoring applications of wind farm. Khan et al used wireless LAN for communication between individual Wind Turbines (WT), while Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) between WTs and control center due to its long range capability and Quality of Service (QoS).…”

Wireless short-range device for wind generators

“…The windmill diagnosis using wireless network has been recently discussed in [2]. Typical faults of windmill including contamination of oil in gear box, rise in temperature of generator windings and excessive nacelle vibration develop slowly.…”

“…between a nacelle and the converter housing can reduce the reliability. The advances in wireless communications have enabled the implementation of low-cost and multifunctional wireless sensors and communication modules improving wind power plants [2] and drive systems [3] performance. Generally two main factors that describes wireless sensors are link quality and power consumption [4].…”
