Application of 4G 5G Industrial Gateway in Wind Farm
Wind power generation, as a clean and renewable new energy source, has become a key area of support and development for governments around the world. Wind farms are often located in remote areas with complex environments. How to achieve centralized and efficient management of equipment and stable communication has become a key issue for the development of the industry. 4G/5G industrial gateway products provide reliable solutions for the intelligent operation of wind farms.
The scale of wind farms is usually large, and the distribution range of wind turbines is wide, from mountainous areas to plains, and even offshore, with complex geographical locations. There are numerous wind turbine equipment, including wind turbines, monitoring devices, meteorological monitoring devices, etc., which need to support remote transmission of various controller devices RS232/485 or Ethernet interface data, transparent transmission and support for Modbus standard protocol, as well as the requirement for VPN encrypted transmission of network devices. Traditional communication methods, such as wired networks, are difficult to install, costly, and difficult to maintain in environments like wind farms. At the same time, the equipment needs to adapt to the harsh working environment of wind farms, such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, strong electromagnetic interference, etc., which makes it difficult to ensure the stability and reliability of communication.
Advantages of 4G/5G Industrial Gateway
1. Strong environmental adaptability
The 4G/5G industrial gateway adopts industrial grade design and can adapt to extreme temperatures. The working temperature range is usually between -30 ℃ and+75 ℃, and it has good moisture-proof, lightning protection, and electromagnetic interference prevention capabilities. It has passed strict EMC level testing and can also work stably in strong electromagnetic interference environments.
2. Stable and reliable communication connection
The equipment of the wind farm needs to transmit data in real-time and stably. The 4G/5G industrial gateway supports multiple operator networks and can also support dual SIM card redundancy function. When the main card network fails, it can automatically switch to the secondary card network to ensure uninterrupted data transmission. The built-in software and hardware watchdog and link automatic detection function of the industrial gateway can ensure uninterrupted and stable operation 24/7.
3. Rich data interfaces
The 4G/5G industrial gateway can simultaneously support Ethernet devices, serial devices, WIFI devices, and digital input/output, supporting transparent transmission, Modbus protocol, or customized protocols. Can support remote data transmission and collection needs for various types of equipment within wind farms.
4. Comprehensive security measures
The data security of wind farms is crucial. 4G/5G industrial gateways support multiple security protocols, such as APN/VPDN private networks, and have multiple VPN connection methods such as IPSEC, PPTP, L2TP, GRE, OPENVPN, etc. They have VPN client and server functions, and can add an additional layer of encrypted transmission on the basis of the private network to fully ensure the security and accuracy of data and prevent malicious access or tampering.
