Field-Proven Systems Optimized Specifically to Your Location
Modern wind turbines and wind farms (or wind parks) have grown increasingly larger as global demand for flexible controlled power has increased. A wind farm needs to be optimized and controlled properly to ensure it is balanced and compliant with the requisite grid standards.
The Emerson wind farm control system consists of field-proven hardware, developed for harsh on- and off-shore environments, along with advanced automation software that is optimized specifically to your location.
Benefits of Wind Farm Control
- Designed with no moving parts to ensure high-reliability, and long lifespan
- Supports open standards and flexible architecture for control and supervision
- Utilizes robust hardware, specifically designed for operating in harsh environments
- Highly scalable solution that can control up to 2500 wind turbines in clusters of 0 to 50
- Full SCADA integration for centralized control and monitoring of all local, regional and global wind farms
- Off-the-shelf solutions for grid code compliance
Frequently Asked Questions about Wind Farm Control
A wind farm is controlled by a wind farm controller that dispatches the active and reactive power set points, as requested by the Transmission System Operator (TSO) either directly to the wind turbine unit, or via a cluster controller within a large wind farm.
The wind farm control system fits most grid codes, and typically consists of a wind farm controller, cluster controller, grid station, weather station, fully tested advanced automation software, and associated services. While the control system architecture is usually a standard design, a tailor-made solution can be provided to fit your specific needs.
