Implementação de interface de comunicação seguindo Norma IEC 61400-25 para aerogeradores

Abstract

With the fast economic development of the country, the energy consumption tends to increase significantly for the next years. Because of that, it becomes important to search for new alternatives technologies that are practicable for the diversification of the brasilian energy matrix. The generation of electricity from wind, called wind energy, presents itself as the most viable alternative energy nowadays, because of its cost-efficiency (if compared with solar energy). The communication between the components and devices in a wind power plant is an essential feature for a safe and efficient operation. This includes data acquisition and system supervision. The IEC 61400-25 standard specifies the communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants, like communication protocols, information models and others. The DNP3 protocol (initially used for electric utility, oil & gas, water/waste water and security industries) is a great candidate for the 61400-25 implementation, because it presents good advantages over other protocols for wind energy applications.
