Wind turbine generator wind farm systems to collect data for use for wind farm
control. A combination master-slave supervisory command and data acquisition (SCADA)
architecture together with distributed databases local to the data producing device
within a wind farm provide functionality for real-time monitoring and control as
well as secondary data processing and/or remote user access. The architecture facilitates
approximately real-time monitoring and control of devices in the wind farm both
locally and remotely while also facilitating reliable archiving of operational
data of individual wind turbines as well as totalized wind farm data.
