Abstract

New technology deployment for facilitating the control and managing huge amount of data and its uncertainty is very important challenge in the industry field. Energy sector as important part of the industry knows nowadays a high transformation towards renewable energy, and one of important solution is the wind energy. The wind control system must guarantee safe and reliable operation, monitor components and variables, and check that these variables are in an admissible range and must perform the detection and prediction of faults. We propose in this paper a new Internet of Things solution to control and monitor a wind energy system. The IoT gateway is used as a bridge between the different devices in the wind turbine control system and Internet. We adopted OPC Unified Architecture, as a protocol of communication, and we implemented the new IoT tool Node-RED in the gateway, in order to facilitate the link between OPC UA client and IBM cloud. The obtained results are evaluated in real-time in the cloud platform which eventually provides a consistent analysis and interpretation, and making better decision.
