Reporting and Logging in compliance with IEC 61400-25 - Using Wind Power Plant Configuration Language (WPPCL)

Korkmaz Umut

AbstractVendors and customers in the wind power plant market are not capable of choosing each other purely based on business related parameters. Rather, they are constrained by different approaches for modeling wind power plants in the software domain. IEC 61400-25 addresses this challenge. This thesis analyzes, designs and implements a proof of concept system capable of reporting and logging in compliance with IEC 61400-25. The system consists of an information model, an information exchange model and is mapped to web services. Both unbuffered and buffered reporting is supported. Reporting uses publisher/subscriber by use of the WSDualHttpBinding provided in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Logging is realized by use of persistent storage. A client with SCADA capable of consuming the services exposed by the system has been created. Exchange of information between system and client follows the guidelines for SOA. Contents of the data model is configured by use of xml based Wind Power Plant Configuration Language (WPPCL). A tool named WPPCL Editor for configuring the WPPCL file has been created. Wind power plants are modeled by a simple data generator in order to verify the functionality of the system in its natural environment.
