Application of Cables in Wind Power Data Acquisition Systems

1. Scene Introduction

one. Application of wind power data acquisition system for offshore wind farms

In the vast sea far from land, offshore wind farms are gradually becoming an important source of clean energy. These wind farms usually contain dozens or even hundreds of wind turbines, distributed in the vast sea. Due to the complexity and variability of the offshore environment, cables need to withstand harsh conditions such as seawater erosion, strong winds and large waves. Our wind power data acquisition system cables use special anti-corrosion materials and sealing design to ensure long-term stable operation in the marine environment. At the same time, the cable’s weather-resistant performance also enables it to adapt to the changing climatic conditions at sea, ensuring the continuity and stability of data transmission.

2.Sition system for large-scale onshore wind farms

In the vast plains or mountainous areas, large onshore wind farms are also important application scenarios for cable solutions. These wind farms usually cover a wide area, the distribution of wind turbines is relatively decentralized. Our cables are designed to be flexible and easy to lay and install in complex terrain. At the same time, the cable’s high bandwidth and low attenuation characteristics ensure real-time and accurate data transmission between the WTGs and the monitoring center.

3.The application of wind power data acquisition system for wind farms in remote areas

In some remote areas, due to the limitation of terrain, climate and other factors, it is difficult to implement the traditional energy supply method. And wind power, as a clean and renewable form of energy, has unique advantages in these areas. However, the natural conditions in these regions are often harsh, placing higher demands on the performance and reliability of the cables.

Whether it is an offshore wind farm, a large onshore wind farm or a remote wind farm, TST CABLES wind power data acquisition system cable solutions can provide stable and reliable data transmission support. We will provide personalized solutions and services according to the needs and characteristics of different application scenarios to meet the diverse needs of customers.

2. The pain point analysis

In the application process of wind power data acquisition system, cables, as the medium of data transmission, face many challenges:

Harsh environment: wind farms are usually located in remote areas with complex and changing climatic conditions, and the cables need to withstand high temperature, low temperature, strong wind, salt spray and other harsh environments.
Electromagnetic interference: wind farms in the presence of a large number of electrical equipment, cable in the transmission of data is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, affecting the accuracy and stability of data.
Long-distance transmission: wind farms cover a wide area, the cable needs to cover a large range, to achieve long-distance transmission of data.

3.The wind power data acquisition system on the cable requirements

For the special needs of wind power data acquisition system, the cable needs to meet the following requirements:

Strong weather resistance: able to maintain stable electrical performance in a variety of harsh climatic conditions.
Anti-electromagnetic interference: good shielding performance, effectively resist electromagnetic interference, to ensure the accurate transmission of data.
Low attenuation, high bandwidth: to meet the demand for high-speed and stable transmission of large amounts of data.

4. The certification standards

To ensure that the performance and quality of the cables meet the highest standards in the industry, TST CABLES products are fully compliant with the following international and domestic certification standards:
