The wind power industry demands intelligent and reliable systems to monitor turbine performance in real time. By implementing a redundant ring network using industrial Ethernet switches, each turbine in the wind farm is interconnected to form a highly available and secure infrastructure. This setup supports remote data collection, fault alarms, and centralized control via SCADA systems. Integrated with IoT technologies, this system ensures efficient communication between turbines and the control center, enabling predictive maintenance and operational transparency.

The primary objective is to create a robust communication network for the wind power site that enables real-time data collection, adaptive control, and early warning capabilities. Each turbine is equipped with a generator, PLC, and industrial PC, which communicate environmental and operational data such as wind speed, blade angle, and generator load. This allows for automated blade adjustments and generator speed regulation to maximize energy output and system safety.

To meet the demands of geographically dispersed turbines, we deploy an ERPS-ring (<20ms) topology using industrial-grade switches. This design supports IoT-based monitoring and ensures reliable, low-latency communication across star, ring, or hybrid topologies. The network also integrates seamlessly with centralized SCADA platforms for smart visualization and event management.
