AI based Compact Controller for Wind farms Economical Operation, Control and Monitoring

In India, 42.6 GW power is generated by wind turbine generators for supplying electricity to the load. Permanent Magnet DC generator, Synchronous generator and Induction generator are the most commonly used generators in the wind mill. Though the generators are designed for producing the power with maximum efficiency, monitoring, operation and control of wind mill plays an important role. The instantaneous faults like open circuit fault and least resistance fault can be easily detected and removed by the protection scheme. But the inter turn fault, core saturation condition, loss of dielectric due to ageing of machines cannot be detected until the fault occurs. The economic operation of the wind mill is based on the fault detection and prediction, uninterrupted operation of the wind mill, monitoring of parameters from the remote location. The AI based compact controller R04CPU with remote I/O module is used to monitor, control the windmill and ensures the economic operation/fault detection.
