Remote Monitoring System in Wind Power Generation
Wind power generation systems are always installed in very harsh environments with extreme temperatures (for example, offshore environments might be below -10� C), with an abundance of dust and vibration. Under these circumstances, applying an IPC with a fan as the host platform will result in reliability problems and system crashes. One of our customers aimed to design a reliable power generation monitoring system, and they were looking for a compact platform that could be easily installed to replace their traditional IPC system.

Energy Management System with Energy Saving Capabilities
Rising energy costs are forcing many enterprises to step up their efforts to reduce energy consumption and improve energy management. Making the most of all available energy and facility resources is becoming crucial for all business across all industries. Advantech旧 open networking technologies combined with compact and robust platforms and reliable controllers are a powerful solution for any Energy Management System (EMS). Successfully applied in a large American chain store, this EMS solution allowed our client to control and manage energy resources in hundreds of their stores across the USA.

Wind Power Turbine Control System
Conventional wind turbine controllers have only limited resources, and can only offer restricted monitoring and diagnostic functions. System developers expect controllers to not only monitor environmental conditions, temperatures and pressures in the hydraulic system, including rotation speeds and vibrations, but also allow remote management and diagnostics through a network.

Real-Time Testing System for Wind Power Generation Machine
The INER (Institute of Nuclear Energy Research) in Taiwan uses a Micro-Box Real-Time System to create a "Wind Power Generation Simulation Platform", which simulates the wind and blade models theybuild in Simulink®. Through this unique solution, INER can modulate the speed of the dynos based on actual wind direction and strength. Micro-Box is an affordable and robust multi-function platform for rapidly controlling prototype and hardware-in-the-loop test applications. The Micro-Box System is installed with Advantech’s UNO-2170, PCM-3712, and PCM-3718.

Automated Scheduling System for Hydroelectric Power Stations
Hydroelectric Power Stations require complex automated scheduling systems to regulate their power generation processes. These systems can benefit from adopting a topological structure which combines reliable industrial-grade products and redundant ring networks. The backbone for such networks require at least two fiber optic rings to realize both link and device redundancy. All of these elements combine to provide excellent performance and high reliability with a automated operations, remote control, fault self-recovery and advanced network management functions.

Embedded Network Communication in a Digital Substation System
Generally, power substation systems include control, signal, measurement, protection, automation and remote handling equipment. Power substation systems are used to compile the data from these various devices and send the information to the central control station. Due to the different communication/ device/ protocol requests, the system must support various I/O inputs and integrate all information for the control center.

Monitoring System for Wind Power Generation Towers
Wind power generation systems require large areas of land, and in some cases, wind generation towers can be separated by great distances. The major issue facing communication between these towers is the long transmission distance. Moreover, these towers are usually installed in environments which cause them to be prone to electrical interference. Our customer needed to develop a reliable and high performance system to transfer data across long distances with high accuracy. Moreover, each tower needed to be connected to an Ethernet network in order to transfer data to the central monitoring system. Therefore, Advantech's industrial-grade Ethernet switch and fiber-optic solution: ADAM-6521 and ADAM-6542 were the perfect solution to meet these critical requirements.

Digital Power Balancing System for 220 kV transformer
High voltage power supplies usually operate with three phases. There are several risks associated with this, such as phase difference, or power reversals, with the result often being damaged equipment. A system integrator specializing in power management in China has created a solution for power balancing based on a customized UNO-2050 controller. The new protection system protects 220 kV substation transformers by adding redundancy to the system integrator’s Digital Signal Processors (DSP).
