“…For example, a wind turbine consists of wind turbine rotor (WROT), wind turbine transmission (WTRM), wind turbine generator (WGEN), wind turbine converter (WCNV), wind turbine transformer (WTRF), wind turbine nacelle (WNAC), wind turbine yawing (WNAC), wind turbine tower (WTOW), and meteorological information (WMET). Table 2 shows the logical description of a wind turbine based on the logical node concept of IEC 61400-25-2 standard [24], [25].…”

There is a growing interest to increase the grid integration of large-scale wind power farms (WPF). As most WPFs are located in remote areas where abundant wind resources are available, these sites are lacking communication infrastructures and network coverage which present major obstacles in enabling reliable data transmission between WPFs and their control centers. With the absence of unified communication network architecture, different vendors and manufacturers are developing their own monitoring and control solutions according to their needs. There is a knowledge gap related to the design of WPF communication networks, where the assumptions of available articles do not represent the complete monitoring data from WPF subsystems including wind turbines, meteorological towers and substations. This work aims to design a wireless network architecture for the grid integration of cyber physical wind energy system based on the IEC 61400-25 standard. The proposed architecture consists of four layers: a wind farm layer, a data acquisition layer, a communication network layer and an application layer. Wireless communication technologies outperform conventional wired-based solutions by offering lower costs, greater flexibility and easier deployment. Based on IEC 61400-25 standard, a wireless turbine area network is proposed for collecting sensing data from wind turbine parts, and connected to a wireless farm area network developed for communication between the remote control center and wind turbines. The network performance of the proposed wireless wind turbine internal network (includes the number of sensor nodes, data types and data size) is evaluated considering different wireless technologies (ZigBee, WiFi and WiMAX) in view of end-to-end delay, wireless channel capacity, and data loss. The simulation results show that wireless-based solutions can meet the delay requirements of the IEEE 1646 standard. This work contributes for building a redundant wireless communication infrastructure for remote monitoring of WPFs with scalable coverage and capacity.

“…As a fundamental part of decentralized energy generation, wind power systems require to be supported by a standardization-based communication platform for control, protection and energy management [1]. In this sense, SCADA systems applied to wind farms can use OPC protocol to monitor and control single turbines or entire wind farms [40].…”

The Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC) interface provides an effective means to exchange data between automation-related entities, both hardware and software. Since its creation, it has been profusely used not only for industrial scenarios but also for other spheres, among which energy automation is an important scope. In order to portray the relevance of such protocol, this paper presents a survey of applications of OPC communication to manage systems integration in the context of energy automation.Palabras Clave: industrial communications, OPC, energy automation, Smart Grid, interoperability.

“…This standard use a communication model based on protocols such as Manufacturer Message Specification (MMS) for communication messaging, Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) for time synchronization and Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE)-Sampled Measured Values (SMV) for fast messaging. It can operate over TCP based on implementing Ethernet [85]. The communication stack mapping the IEC 61850 services with the TCP/IP model layer is shown in Figure 6.…”

The concept of microgrid has emerged as a feasible answer to cope with the increasing number of distributed renewable energy sources which are being introduced into the electrical grid. The microgrid communication network should guarantee a complete and bidirectional connectivity among the microgrid resources, a high reliability and a feasible interoperability. This is in a contrast to the current electrical grid structure which is characterized by the lack of connectivity, being a centralized-unidirectional system. In this paper a review of the microgrids information and communication technologies (ICT) is shown. In addition, a guideline for the transition from the current communication systems to the future generation of microgrid communications is provided. This paper contains a systematic review of the most suitable communication network topologies, technologies and protocols for smart microgrids. It is concluded that a new generation of peer-to-peer communication systems is required towards a dynamic smart microgrid. Potential future research about communications of the next microgrid generation is also identified.
