2011 WIND INDUSTRY in gERMany - Wind-Energy-Market

[02]Engineering: One engineering tool forthe whole turbine. With Totally IntegratedAutomation you back an integratedengineering environment. Efficient softwaresupports you comprehensivelythroughout the complete life cycle of awind turbine – from the initial planningstages through commissioning andoperation all the way to service andmaintenance.Communication: With Totally IntegratedAutomation you meet the requirementfor unrestricted integration in communication.By using an open bus systemfrom the terminal through to the controlsystem, you benefit from maximumdata transparency across all levels fromthe hub through the nacelle and towerlevels as far as the wind farm level, andfrom easy interfacing to different systemssuch as pitch and yaw systems.Diagnostics: Totally Integrated Automationsupports efficient remote diagnosticsright through to the last terminalof the wind turbine. If a fault occursit will be quickly detected and rectified.This minimizes downtimes and optimizesproductivity.Safety: No additional controller requiredfor safety functions. With an intelligentsafety concept that integrates safetytechnology into the standard automation,you save considerable wiring costsand space in contrast to conventionalsolutions. Integration in the engineeringsoftware also reduces the programmingoutlay and speeds up commissioning.Security: Protection of the turbineagainst unauthorized access: Scalable ITsecurity mechanisms (access protection,user management, firewall, VPN, etc.)ensure effective security – for a lowadministration cost.Ruggedness: Selected materials andmanufacturing techniques ensure thatour products and systems are top quality.For increased ruggedness requirementsspecial product versions are also availablewhich are ideally suited to harshenvironmental conditions, both onshoreand offshore.Product and system groups at a glanceEmbedded controller for pitch, yaw, converterand turbine controlDistributed I/O with M12 connectors (insensitiveto vibrations) for operation at temperatures from-40 °C to +60 °CComprehensive range of components for communicationon the basis of Industrial EthernetIntegrated safety functions for compliance withsafety-related standards and legislation to SIL 3HMI devices for efficient and plant-wide humanmachine interfacing of the wind farm (also mobile)SCADA system for optimized operations managementand efficient electricity production forbetween 2 and more than 120 wind farmsWind-Library-Software for reducing the configuringtime and engineering costsLow-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear(e.g. modular busbar systems)Wind industry in germany101
