WindAccess

Alstoms SCADA - Supervisory Control and

Data Acquisition system for onshore and
offshore applications
Building on 30 years of
wind turbine experience,
WindAccess is an
open, modular and
comprehensive tool for
monitoring and controlling
onshore and offshore
wind farms.

Open. Optimise.
Open: WindAccess has been designed for greater connectivity and efficiency.
Thanks to the systems web-based interface, operators can access their wind
farms from any location at any time, while the systems open communication
protocols enable the wind farms easy integration with all other renewable assets
in the operators portfolio.
Optimise: WindAccess monitors and collects data from the wind turbines,
meteorological mast and substation so that the wind farm can be operated like
a conventional power plant. WindAccess data is stored in an SQL database
providing an unparalleled level of flexibility and data transparency.
Its historical report modules give the operator a powerful tool to analyse operative
data and transform it into added value.

Wind farm management made easy

Modular, flexible and comprehensive: WindAccess modular design grants
maximum flexibility, allowing wind farm operators to tailor the system according
to their specific needs.
For onshore and offshore applications: WindAccess has been
specifically developed to address both onshore and offshore requirements (i.e.
network monitoring, real-time data register, video surveillance, integration of Condition
Monitoring System). These features come in separate modules than can be easily
integrated into WindAccess.
Web-based tool: Wind farm operators can access their wind farms through a
VPN secure connection anywhere, anytime. The advanced user interface presents
operational, meteorological and performance data to the operator in real time,
on user-oriented screens, allowing key data to be assimilated at a glance.
Open communication protocols: Thanks to its design based on open
communication protocols, WindAccess can integrate information from external
elements including meteorological masts and substations. Open communication
protocols have the added advantage of facilitating the integration of the wind farm into
a renewable asset portfolio.
Easy access to wind farm information: WindAccess stores the information
in an SQL database, designed to grant the operator an unparalleled level of flexibility
and data transparency.
Wind farm controller: WindAccess provides the option of incorporating a
wind farm controller which consolidates the whole wind farm including substation
equipment, so that the wind farm can be operated like a conventional power plant at
the grid connection point.
