IoT and Cloud Based Remote Monitoring of Wind Turbine

Abstract

With the industry 4.0 revolution, the concept of industrial production will be reshaped with information technologies and will rapidly shift to a new production understanding. The Internet of things and cloud computing will play a vital role as the most important elements of this transformation. In this study, parameters that are crucial for the performance evaluation of a small power wind turbine are measured. Measurements can be used to evaluate the performance of the system and to avoid errors in the system. In the designed system, basic parameters such as wind speed, air temperature, battery voltage and battery current were measured and recorded through datalogger. These measurements were sent to the Microsoft Azure cloud computing system and recorded here. At the same time, visualization with the aid of the cloud system was performed and viewed in real time on the web via Microsoft Power BI platform.
