PROTOTYPE OF GENERIC SERVER FOR WIND POWER PLANTS USING IEC 61400-25 STANDARD



AbstractIEC61850[1] has defined a family of standards for the power grid. For instance, the new IEC 61400-25[2] defines protocols for communication, control, and monitor-ing of wind power plants (WPP). This standard includes a wide range of mandatory and optional elements in the defined models, ranging from interfaces for control and monitoring to a standardized and secure way of handling communication. An analysis focusing on isolating the necessary requirements has been carried out based on the IEC61400-25 in order to create a generic prototype which can be used by WPP vendors. The main communications interface of the prototype utilizes web services and the prototype developed is comprised of several independent modules to allow for the possibility of choosing a fully customizable setup by the end user. Configuration of the system needs to be done in a simple 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.
