Wind turbines can be divided into onshore and offshore types. Although the technical difficulty of onshore wind turbines is relatively low, they face more community residents’ protest against noise pollution. Combining with the advantages of stable and strong offshore winds, more and more countries have devoted to the development of offshore wind farms.

However, offshore wind turbines also face many challenges, including severe high and low-temperature environments, salt spray erosion, remote monitoring and maintenance (power failure and reboot), etc. With the high cost of wind turbines, it is necessary to carefully control the speed to ensure the safety of the turbine fan against strong winds despite the need for maximizing production. All these control data rely on the information collected from the farm.

To accomplish this, Portwell introduces PCOM-BA00 for optimizing and achieving the best efficiency. Combining with the customized carrier board and chassis, the lightweight compact size is integrated into the nacelle

In order to resist the strong offshore wind and harsh operating environment, the chassis body is coated with trivalent chromium and IP65 design fully resistant to salt spray and has passed the industry standards and regulations of EMC IEC 61326-1 to ensure stable operation.

To collect the wind speed data, the system connects the wind speed sensor module through the CAN Bus. This information can be sent to the control center for further analysis and intelligent decision making.
