INTRODUCTION
The recent decades have dramatically changed the face
of the world and the human lives with respect to many
aspects. The advancements of the information and
communication technologies were one of the key drivers for
this remarkable transformation. Notably, this metamorphosis
is far from being finished – the new technologies and
concepts constantly bring along with them novel
opportunities. The electric power generation and distribution
network, which became over the past half a century the
cardiovascular system of the today’s civilization, has received
a limited attention so far. On one hand, this is caused by the
ultra-high cost of a mistake – why to take a risk of changing
something already working for decades. On the other hand,
there are challenging requirements: the huge span and
localization of the grid elements as well as the economic
feasibility. Nonetheless, the recent advancements with
respect to the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) wireless
communication technologies and namely the recently
introduced Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN)
technologies can enable to change this situation and
contribute to converting the conventional energy grid into
the Smart Grid
Problem statement
Wind energy is critical component of the renewable energy
landscape,and its efficient management is essential for
maximizing energy output and minimizing operational costs
however, wind farms are often located in remote or hard to
reach areas ,making continuous monitorning maintenance of
wind mills a significant challenge . traditional monitoring
sytems may be limited by short-range communication, high
power consumption ,or expensive infrastructure
requirements. This solution will improve wind mill
performance ,reduce downtime and enhance the overall
management of wind energy systems.
Objective
▪ To develop an economical and reliable wireless
communication system which allows authorities of the wind
power plant to monitor the various parameters of the plant
which are environment dependent
▪ To connect base station with remote monitoring system
with low power enabled system so that the proposed system
runs without hurdles and sends sensor data 24x7
▪ To develop system which works independently without
depending on third party technology, here the LoRa chips
which generates RF waves and allows to send information
packets with encryption so that information does not get
corrupted
Existing system
In the existing system parameters of the wind turbine are
collected using transducers are transmitted via OFC cable to
base station, this OFC cables are not economical and have
maintenance issues, giving protection to accident damage of
communication cable is challenging one and needs special
device for coupling and joining them.
Proposed System
The proposed project is aimed to make use of new trends,
cost effective, reliable wireless technology in the wind power
plant, the new wireless transmission technology called LORA
which stands for Low Power and Long range being used to
transmit various parameters such as wind speed, voltage,
current, temperature etc. The base station which is
monitored by the concerned authorities to take proper
actions. The system has two main components called
Transmitter and Receiver, various sensors are connected to
Transmitter module, LoRa transmitter chip interfaced with
ESP32 module, having read the parameters with the help of
sensors, information packets of LoRa are formed and sent
securely through the receiver, the receiver which is
interfaced with the base station receives the information
packets, computing them and uploads all the read
information to centralized server so that concerned
authorities can monitor from any place without location
barrier.
Scope
The proposed project finds useful at wind power plant, using
this concept parameters of the wind turbine could be fetched
using sensors and transmitted using LoRa communication
technology which consumes low power and supports long
range. The parameters received at base station will be
populated to centralize and database and is visible via
dashboard. Concerned authority could view this data and
take proper decisions.
LITERATURE SURVEY
Presently developing yields are turning into an extremely
tumultuous errand for the ranchers on account of the
monitoring wind station. Due to operation and monitoring
cost is too high. So as to beat this situation we need to
receive a plan methodology which ought to be viable. The
answer for this issue is by following the procedures of
exactness wireless communication system. Wireless
communication reduces the cost of material such as OFC
cable and wired communication device cost [1].
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have created at a quick
pace as of late and have additionally been one of the major
focal points of research in remote innovation. This fast
advancement has been encouraged by the advancement of
gadgets scaling down, development in execution, remote
innovations, vitality proficiency, and the improvement of
conventions. The sensors that gather natural data from the
environment have been scaled down gratitude to the quick
execution, enhancement, and scaling down innovation of the
equipment. The improvements of new remote
correspondence advancements and falling costs have
empowered fresh out of the plastic new uses for remote
sensor organize gadgets [2].
The emergence of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)
impelled another heading of research in horticultural and
cultivating space. As of late, WSNs are broadly connected in
different rural applications. The potential WSN applications
are checked on, and the particular issues and difficulties
related with conveying WSNs for improved cultivating. To
concentrate on the particular prerequisites, the gadgets,
sensors and correspondence strategies related with WSNs in
rural applications are dissected exhaustively [3].
LoRa is a since quite a while ago run, low-control, low-bitrate,
remote-control or remote correspondences structure,
progressed as an establishment answer for the Internet of
Things: end devices use LoRa over a lone remote ricochet to
pass on to gateway(s), related with the Internet and which go
about as direct expansions and move messages between
these end-contraptions and a central framework server [4].
The most recent years have seen much enthusiasm for Low
Power Wide Area (LPWA) advances, which are increasing
extraordinary force and business enthusiasm towards the
acknowledgment of the Internet of Things (IoT). There are
numerous competitors that have shocked the exploration
network, effectively seeking after institutionalization,
appropriation, and business organizations in parallel [5].
