Wind farms data integration

Wind farms, onshore and offshore, combine turbine SCADA, condition monitoring, metocean data and marine operations.

Example use case

An offshore operator joins turbine SCADA over OPC UA, blade sensor data and AIS vessel tracks to plan crew transfers in suitable weather windows.

Typical sources and transports

Turbine SCADA via OPC UA, blade sensor APIs, AIS NMEA 0183, ADCP instrument files, COMTRADE and DLMS/COSEM meters, ADS-B for helicopter context.

What the data means

SCADA values are usually 10-minute statistics (mean, min, max, standard deviation); turbine states follow manufacturer codes.

Prerequisites

Before connecting wind farms sources, prepare an inventory of systems and owners, interface documentation for each one, read-only credentials and approved network paths. Agree identifiers, units and time zones early, and name a person who can confirm values against the source during commissioning.

Limitations

No turbine control. OEM SCADA access is contractual; derived availability values are labelled as derived.

ALLINLET reads and normalises data; it does not control equipment.
