Research of Monitoring System in Offshore Wind Farm

Aiming at the problems of traditional wind power development and considering the actual situation of offshore wind power, this paper proposes a digital offshore wind farm concept with basic characteristics of intelligent control, integration of monitoring system, information digitization, networked communication, and standardization of information sharing. This paper presents a complete digital monitoring system scheme for offshore wind farm under a unified information platform to achieve panoramic monitoring and information sharing. A monitoring system model including a two-level architecture of onshore and offshore is adopted to adapt to the special geographical environment of offshore wind farm. This paper describes the function of onshore centralized control center, the offshore step-up substation and wind turbine monitoring system and also the communication between them, then points out the future development direction of the digital offshore wind farm.
