Did you know that One Energy can communicate with our wind turbines?
We rely on a network of computers, all talking to each other back and forth. The turbines can send us vital information, such as the yaw position or the wind speed at hub height – and in return, our operators can ask the turbine to perform certain commands, like to shut off if a technician is planning to perform maintenance or a group is touring the project.
Having a fast line of communication between these systems becomes crucial, especially when operators need to make decisions based on real-time conditions. Being able to reduce and minimize the time it takes to exchange critical information means designing networks with minimal delays.
🔗 Today’s wind study homework questions focus on calculating the amount of delay in a network of computers, and how to choose the best possible setup to reduce any information lag. Be sure to check back in on Friday to review your answers!
