康涅狄格州Watertown市4月9日新聞――艾默生過程管理公司今天宣布獲得了英國可再生能源龍頭企業(yè)npower renewables公司授予的一份協議，為其提供廣泛區(qū)域的數據采集系統，將十九個活躍風力發(fā)電廠連接到其位于英國不同區(qū)域的公司總部，操作中心和地區(qū)中心。 廣范圍的數據采集方案將利用艾默生公司的Bristol® OpenEnterprise軟件，并利用實時操作數據和歷史信息提高效率，用于整個網絡的渦輪。Npower公司操作人員和資產管理以及全體用戶將全部被連接到該廣域網中。 該系統通過用控制替代勞動密集的網站訪問還將節(jié)省成本，遠程控制渦輪啟動/停止和重設，并具有遠程安全特性，如安全攝像和訪問監(jiān)測。該OpenEnterprise數據庫是一個理想的平臺，擴展至包括從英國和歐洲目前的水利發(fā)電廠和風力發(fā)電廠采集的數據。 OpenEnterprise軟件保留npower renewables公司現有資產投資，運用開放式架構技術與多種控制器和遠程系統進行通信。 廣域網將風力發(fā)電廠連接到操作中心和公司數據中心，將采用64K ISDN 到2MB ADSL通訊網絡的結合技術。OpenEnterprise軟件具有對象映射的特性，均勻數據結構，降低數據中心的數據處理，對象映射還允許npower renewables公司要求的通信吞吐量為公司用戶提供實時信息。 冗余服務器將被安裝到Kingswinford 市的npower公司 IT中心，該數據中心將為Swindon的公司總部，Dolgarrog的操作中心和威爾士和蘇格蘭的地區(qū)中心提供實時數據和歷史數據。運用多樣的開放式通信，網絡服務器和包括ActiveX, JDBC, OLEDB, .Net, ODBC, OPC, OPC XML,以及 SQL在內的技術，公司用戶可以對操作進行完全評價。 安裝和調試將在2008年8月完成。 npower renewables公司簡介 npower renewables公司市英國可再生能源領袖企業(yè)，致力于運用可持續(xù)環(huán)保資源發(fā)電。公司擁有包括陸地和海洋風力發(fā)電廠，水利發(fā)電廠和總公司RWE npower操作的混燒生物質發(fā)電廠在內的范圍廣闊的發(fā)電廠。運用這些自然資源為英國現有和未來電的需求提供了重要的發(fā)電資源。 original text [COLOR=#708090]Emerson to provide supervisory control for wind farm network in United Kingdom Project of npower, a leading UK renewable energy company, will unify and centralize operations of the company‘s offshore and onshore wind farms, and support future expansion. High-resolution image WATERTOWN, CONN （April 9, 2007） – Emerson Process Management announced today that it has been awarded a contract by npower renewables, one of the UK‘s leading renewable energy companies, to provide a wide area data gathering system to connect 19 active wind farms to their corporate headquarters, operations center, and regional centers, all in various locations within the UK. The wide-area data gathering solution will utilize Emerson‘s Bristol® OpenEnterprise software and will provide process efficiency with access to real-time operational data and historical information for all of the turbines throughout the network. The npower operations personnel and asset management and corporate users will all be connected through this wide area network. The system will also provide cost savings by replacing labor-intensive site visits with control capability to remotely start/stop and reset turbines, and remote security features such as security cameras and access monitoring. The OpenEnterprise database is recognized as an ideal platform for expansion to include data from the current hydro electric portfolio and future wind farms in the UK and Europe. Preserving npower renewables‘ investment in existing assets, OpenEnterprise uses open-architecture technologies to communicate with multiple brands of controllers and remote systems. The wide area network （WAN）, which links the wind farms to the operational and corporate data centers, will use a combination of technologies that range from 64K ISDN to 2MB ADSL communication networks. OpenEnterprise software features Object Mapping, which homogenizes data structures and reduces processing at data centers. Object Mapping also allows the communications throughput npower requires to provide real-time information to corporate users. Redundant servers will be installed at the npower IT center at Kingswinford. This data center will provide real time and historical data to the corporate headquarters at Swindon, the operations center at Dolgarrog, and regional centers in Wales and Scotland. Using a broad variety of open communications, web servers, and technologies including ActiveX, JDBC, OLEDB, .Net, ODBC, OPC, OPC XML, and SQL, corporate users are kept fully appraised of operations. Installation and commissioning will be completed August 2008.
