Wind is a renewable source of energy. Harnessing wind energy is the process of converting kinetic energy generated by wind turbines into electrical energy. Wind turbine automation is the process of installing a computer-based intelligent system, which controls the turbine functioning and detects failures, optimizes wind turbine performance through motion control and maximizes energy conversion. The automation may be completely integrated or implemented in any specific part of the wind turbine, such as inside the nacelle. There is a growing need for wind turbine automation in order to protect the wind turbine infrastructural components and achieve maximum energy conversion rate. With wind turbine automation, the efficiency to harness wind energy will grow and dependency on traditional exhaustible and non-renewable resources, like oil and coal, will reduce.
The benefits associated with automation of wind turbine are safety, reliability and efficiency of wind turbines, high energy conversion rate, increased durability of wind turbine components, economy of scale, and reduction of accidental failure during maintenance and installation. On the other hand, initial investment and cost of replacement of traditional infrastructure associated with wind turbine automation are very high. The technical advancements are in the initial phase and need more time to mature.
