Management of Mechanical Vibration and Temperature in Small Wind Turbines Using Zigbee Wireless Network

Abstract

The aim of our project is to monitor the mechanical vibration, temperature and other parameters in a wind turbine for efficient operation of wind turbine using Zigbee network. Our project consists of two sections data acquisition unit and data processing unit. The data acquisition unit consists of Temperature sensor, MEMS sensor, Potentiometer and a Can controller for communication to the data processing unit. CAN is a Message based protocol designed specifically for Automotive, later Aerospace, Industrial automation and Medical equipment’s. CAN interface module is used to communicate the monitored parameters between the wind turbine and the control center. The CAN interface module consists of three components CAN Transceiver (MCP 2551), CAN Controller (MCP 2510). CAN protocol having the two nodes (normal node and data acquisition node).during the transmission of data from one node to another node disturbance is occurred to avoid the type of disturbance we are using CAN protocol.
