Case Study: AES Wind Generation streamlines wind farm monitoring with Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions

AES Wind Generation streamlines 49 turbines with Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions

AES Wind Generation, a division of an international power company managing over 1,700 megawatts of wind capacity, needed a robust monitoring system for a new 49-turbine wind farm. Their challenges included requiring dashboards accessible without client software installation, performing complex calculations on all turbine data, and ensuring support for open data protocols like OPC. They selected Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions to provide a solution.

Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions implemented its GENESIS64 and Hyper Historian software, which utilized advanced aliasing for rapid setup of the dozens of turbines. The solution provided best-in-class graphics through GraphWorX64 and a web interface that required no client-side software installation. This allowed AES to manage and modify the system entirely in-house without needing to hire third-party consultants, leading to considerable cost savings and the flexibility to quickly accommodate future changes.
