E.g. the new {IEC} 61400-25 defines protocols for communication, control, and monitoring of wind power plants (WPP). This standard includes a wide range of mandatory and optional elements, ranging from security, communications interface, and system speed. This enables control and monitoring to be handle communication in a standardized and secure way. An analysis focusing on isolating the necessary requirements of IEC61400-25 has been carried out to create a generic prototype which can be used by {WPP} vendors where main communications interface of the prototype utilizes web services. The prototype is comprised of several independent modules to allow the possibility of choosing a fully customizable setup by the end user. Configuration of the system need to be done in an easy way, ensuring a flexible and reusable system, where different choices for the system can be added or left out depending on user specifications. From the requirements a prototype with the purpose of examining the key aspects of these definitions has been elaborated." }
