What is BS EN 61400-25-1 - Wind energy generation systems about ?
The IEC 61400-25 (all parts) is an international standard that covers the communications between wind power plant components such as wind turbines and actors such as SCADA systems. Internal communication within wind power plant components is beyond the scope of IEC 6140025 (all parts).
BS EN 61400-25-1 is the first part of the series that specifies a complete description of the principles and models used in IEC 6140025 (all parts).
IEC 61400-25 (all parts) is designed for a communication environment supported by a client-server. model. Three areas are defined, that are modeled separately to ensure the scalability of implementations:
- Wind power plant information models
- Information exchange model
- Mapping of these two models to a standard communication profile
Who is BS EN 61400-25-1 - Wind energy generation systems for ?
BS EN 61400-25-1 on communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants is useful for:
- Wind turbine manufacturers
- Wind power transmission system operators (TSOs)
- Wind power distribution system operators (DSOs)
- Wind power plant designers and developers
- Wind energy research institutions
- Wind energy certifying bodies and standardization groups
Why should you use BS EN 61400-25-1 - Wind energy generation systems ?
The wind power plant information model and the information exchange model, constitute an interface between client and server. The wind power plant information model serves as an interpretation frame for accessible wind power plant data.
Guidance in BS EN 61400-25-1 can help you order to provide a uniform communication basis for the monitoring and control of wind power plants and aids for efficient exchange of information exchange and the mapping to communication protocols.
BS EN 61400-25-1 can assist you in the information exchange methods, and to standardize the communication. BS EN 61400-25-1 can be used as a basis to which procurement specifications and contracts could easily refer.
Adopting BS EN 61400-25-1 enable components from different vendors to communicate with other components, at any location. Object-oriented data structures can make the engineering and handling of large amounts of information provided by wind power plant less time-consuming and more efficient.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 61400-25-1:2017 supersedes BS EN 61400‑25‑1:2007, which is withdrawn. BS EN 61400-25-1:2017 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 61400‑25‑1:2007. These include:
- General harmonization of text and overview models with the other parts of the IEC 6140025 series
- Harmonization of definitions in other related standards
