OPC UA connects Wind Turbines in Germanys first Offshore Wind Park

Unified Automation’s Software Development Kit (SDK) was the favored technology to integrate OPC UA in ‘Alpha Ventus’, an offshore wind park test site in the North Sea. OPC Unified Architecture is ensuring fast, reliable and secure communication with onshore control applications and enterprise information systems.

Permanently strong and steady wind guaranties effective wind energy generation 45 kilometers from the German coast. Each wind mill is designed as an autonomous, fully automated, self-monitoring energy plant. Offshore wind parks, build far away from the coast and waterways, have very low environmental impact. They must run under rough conditions like humidity, salt and extreme temperatures and their autonomous control system must guaranty most effective operation at all times. Depending on weather condition accessibility might be infrequently, therefore all components must be construed for long maintenance intervals and of course this includes the software components. The need for long term operation leads to high requirements in terms of reliability and robustness.
