挑战
下一代能源电网将需要采用新方法来集成来自许多不同制造商的分布式电网边缘设备和设备，以实现运营效益。旨在支持少数大型发电设施的现有系统将面临将越来越多的分布式能源（DER）（例如风能、太阳能和电力存储）整合到现有发电和配电网络中的需求。

关于客户
任何需要对其能源电力系统进行有效管理的客户。该解决方案尤其适用于能源电力系统架构采用分布式发电的可再生能源领域（太阳能、风能）的客户。
解决方案
需要一种新的微电网控制架构来提供现有公用事业基础设施无法充分满足的优势，包括可扩展的数据和信息管理、近乎实时的响应时间、增强的态势感知、可互换性、分布式控制、更高的能源效率和减少的总拥有成本。 2013 年，美国公用事业巨头杜克能源成立了“愿意联盟”(COW)，这是一个电网技术供应商联盟，专注于推广和采用开放架构方法来标准化电网边缘技术的集成方式。所有 COW 成员都必须实现符合开放标准的可互操作通信协议。这些协议还必须符合通用信息模型 (CIM) 实用程序标准。这些协议被用作称为“现场消息总线”的通用通信主干的基础，该总线用于通过杜克能源部署的标准化节点连接边缘设备。必须支持的核心通信协议是 Object Management Group 的实时系统数据分发服务 (DDS) 标准。该联盟正在使用包括 PrismTech 的 Vortex 在内的 DDS 实施，在微电网和集中管理系统之间提供高性能、容错、安全、实时的可互操作数据连接层。 DDS 可用于统一边缘电网设备的操作控制并实现变电站自动化，同时为集中式系统提供重要的实时数据

Vestas: Turning Climate into Capital with Big Data
Making wind a reliable source of energy depends greatly on the placement of the wind turbines used to produce electricity. Turbulence is a significant factor as it strains turbine components, making them more likely to fail. Vestas wanted to pinpoint the optimal location for wind turbines to maximize power generation and reduce energy costs.

Siemens Wind Power
Wind provides clean, renewable energy. The core concept is simple: wind turbines spin blades to generate power. However, today's systems are anything but simple. Modern wind turbines have blades that sweep a 120 meter circle, cost more than 1 million dollars and generate multiple megawatts of power. Each turbine may include up to 1,000 sensors and actuators – integrating strain gages, bearing monitors and power conditioning technology. The turbine can control blade speed and power generation by altering the blade pitch and power extraction. Controlling the turbine is a sophisticated job requiring many cooperating processors closing high-speed loops and implementing intelligent monitoring and optimization algorithms. But the real challenge is integrating these turbines so that they work together. A wind farm may include hundreds of turbines. They are often installed in difficult-to-access locations at sea. The farm must implement a fundamentally and truly distributed control system. Like all power systems, the goal of the farm is to match generation to load. A farm with hundreds of turbines must optimize that load by balancing the loading and generation across a wide geography. Wind, of course, is dynamic. Almost every picture of a wind farm shows a calm sea and a setting sun. But things get challenging when a storm goes through the wind farm. In a storm, the control system must decide how to take energy out of gusts to generate constant power. It must intelligently balance load across many turbines. And a critical consideration is the loading and potential damage to a half-billion-dollar installed asset. This is no environment for a slow or undependable control system. Reliability and performance are crucial.

Remote Monitoring and Control for a Windmill Generator
As concerns over global warming continue to grow, green technologies are becoming increasingly popular. Wind turbine companies provide an excellent alternative to burning fossil fuels by harnessing kinetic energy from the wind and converting it into electricity. A typical wind farm may include over 80 wind turbines so efficient and reliable networks to manage and control these installations are imperative. Each wind turbine includes a generator and a variety of serial components such as a water cooler, high voltage transformer, ultrasonic wind sensors, yaw gear, blade bearing, pitch cylinder, and hub controller. All of these components are controlled by a PLC and communicate with the ground host. Due to the total integration of these devices into an Ethernet network, one of our customers in the wind turbine industry needed a serial-to-Ethernet solution that can operate reliably for years without interruption.

IoT Powering A New Way to Light Streets with Bifacial Solar Panels
When James Meringer’s commercial contracting business experienced a rapid increase in solar projects, he also saw an opportunity to extend the benefits of solar by using the bifacial solar panels he’d become familiar with in new ways. Bifacial solar panels enable sunlight from both sides of the panel, making it a more efficient harvest of solar power. Seeing the panel’s power, James and his team set out to use the same technology for street lighting. Until now, solar street lights have served as utilitarian solutions that force designers to choose between form and function. The Mira Bella Energy team has changed that.
