What is BS EN 61400-25-3-Wind energy generation systems about?
The EN 61400-25 series is a European Standard that discusses wind turbines. The EN 61400-25 series is on the communications between wind power plant components such as wind turbines and actors such as SCADA systems. Internal communication within wind power plant components is outside the scope of the IEC 61400-25 series.
BS EN 61400-25-3 is the third part of the series that specifies an abstract communication service interface describing the information exchange between a client and a server for:
- Data access and retrieval
- Device control
- Event reporting and logging
- Self-description of devices (device data dictionary)
- Data typing and discovery of data types
Who is BS EN 61400-25-3-Wind energy generation systems for?
BS EN 61400-25-3 on communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants is useful for:
- Wind turbine manufacturers
- Wind power transmission system operators (TSOs)
- Wind power distribution system operators (DSOs)
- Wind power plant designers and developers
- Wind energy research institutions
- Wind energy certifying bodies and standardization groups
Why should you use BS EN 61400-25-3-Wind energy generation systems?
The wind power plant information model and the information exchange model, constitute an interface between client and server. The wind power plant information model serves as an interpretation frame for accessible wind power plant data.
BS EN 61400-25-3 provides you with an abstract communication service interface describing the information exchange between a client and a server.
Guidance in BS EN 61400-25-3 can help you order to provide a uniform communication basis for the monitoring and control of wind power plants and aids for efficient exchange of information exchange and the mapping to communication protocols.
BS EN 61400-25-3 can assist you in the information exchange methods, and to standardize the communication. BS EN 61400-25-3 can be used as a basis to which procurement specifications and contracts could easily refer.
Adopting BS EN 61400-25-3 enable components from different vendors to communicate with other components, at any location. Object-oriented data structures can make the engineering and handling of large amounts of information provided by wind power plant less time-consuming and more efficient.
