Abstract :
Wind power is an important source of renewable energy for which the UK has an excellent resource. Wind turbines are generally grouped together to form a wind farm. Here, the author describes how supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems play a key role in the distributed control system used to operate and maintain wind farms
