Wind Turbine Control System
Power and Energy Automation
Project Description

Traditional wind turbine controllers offer limited monitoring and diagnostics. System developers expect controllers not only to monitor the pressure in the hydraulic system, the environmental conditions and temperature and rotation speed and vibrations, but also to provide remote management and diagnostic features over a network.
System requirements
A controller is required for the system to receive wind data from an anemometer, to direct the cradle and the rotor blades to capture the wind, and to prevent the wings from rotating too fast and damage, and also to meet the following requirements:
- A computer-based control platform that can adapt to various l / O peripherals and unexpected application changes
- Compact system with easy-to-access input / output ports that can fit in towers with space shortage
- No moving parts, wide operating temperature range, impact and vibration tolerance
- Embedded operating system for real-time control

Implementation of the Project:

The UNO-1150 module was installed inside the wind turbine and hundreds of l / O were distributed into the cradle. The ambient conditions, temperatures and pressures, rotational speeds and vibrations of the hydraulic system are all monitored. The UNO-1150 processes this information and positions the rotor blades according to the appropriate wind. If the wind is strong, the brakes are activated, stopping the movement of the wings and preventing any damage. The embedded operating system provides real-time control of general controls and regulations. The UNO-1150 also connects the main monitoring network and frequency converter monitors. The information in the cradle can be transferred via Ethernet, fiber optic or serial port. This information is an indication of the flexibility and reliability of Ul \ l0-1150 on back-up.

Result:

The UNO-1150 is a compact system with an open, computer-based control platform. Designed to be fanless and wireless, adapting to variable environmental conditions and a wide range of temperatures. High vibration and impact tolerance ensure that the wings are not affected by vibration. These features not only ensure reliability, but also reduce operating costs.

In terms of application, the easy-to-access l / O design significantly reduces assembly and wiring times. Thanks to the rail mounting feature, UNO controllers can be easily used side-by-side with different devices, such as bus connectors or fieldbus circuits, without taking up more space. The X86 computer architecture increases the likelihood of future system change and allows for l / O editing without adaptation.
