Wireless Parameters Monitoring Simulation and Design in Wireless Personal Area Network Using 2.4 GHz Transceiver Module for Wind Mill

Abstract

A Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) monitoring system is proposed to measure the voltage and current generated for wind mill farm, it is considered as a target application. It has a Rig id hub structure, economical larger capacity i.e. 5- 7 MW fo r offshore sitting and variable speed turbines are three major develop ments characterize in a wind mach ines. The forth development is the adoption of gearless wind turbine eliminating gearbo xes as weakest link in the chain of modern wind turb ines. Eliminating the burdens associated with cabling, the proposed wireless network enables sensors to place on the each individual mill to monitor voltage and current so that we can optimize wind farm productivity. The proposed system consist of ZigBee based wireless personal area network i.e. co mmunication through ZigBee transceiver module, coding of microcontroller through AVR Studio4, and interfacing all with wind mill. The data from the wind-power generator will be collected with the help of proposed system and wired RS-232 Interface. The collected data will be displayed with the help of suitable GUI in MATLA B.
