Abstract

Wind Turbine industry has the improved latest generation of Wind turbines with bigger flexible blades, high tower, Good efficiency & low cost repairing in all platforms of wind turbines from Small wind mills to Ocean wind turbines. The Control centre is responsible for Monitoring and Controlling wind turbines in wind power farms. Various parameters like Oil level, Gas leakage, air pressure, vibrations & linear velocity, environmental condition like rain & humidity are to be monitored and controlled for proper working of the wind turbines. In the proposed work, smart and efficient turbine network architecture is designed to automate this process. The aim of the proposed work is to monitor the different parameters of the turbine using respective sensors. The acquired sensor data are uploaded to the cloud via WiFi module for online monitoring and further data analysis. IFTTT Server of Adafruit io cloud is used to send the warning notification of the critical sensor value to the concerned person. Also the sensor node life time is taken care by implementing a proposed compression algorithm in each node that reduces the amount of data transmitted and thereby the energy consumed during transmission.
