Fiber optic communication and wind power
Onshore wind farm fiber optic systems must ensure reliable data transmission between hundreds of wind turbines, central control systems and energy markets, while being designed to be easy to maintain and future-proof. Wind energy communication forms the technical backbone of successful onshore wind farms and enables optimal energy yield through intelligent control and continuous monitoring. The global wind industry is fiercely battling reliability issues to keep wind turbines turning. Unlike fossil fuels, which are a limited and dimi er requires power electronics, such as rectifiers and inverters. Fiber optics (FO) technology is probably best known for use in high-speed, high-bandwidth telecommunication applications.
