An Open Architecture Distributed SCADA System for the Wind Industry

Written by Jeff Gill, Bow Networks, and Gary Moore, GE Wind Energy.

Tuesday 3:00 - Distributed Generation track

This paper will be presented by Jeff and Gary, and details a distributed SQL database system, designed to reliably collect large quantities of remote data from distributed sites. This technology is very applicable to the Substation Automation industry as well, and should be of interest to any customer planning on working with non-operational data.
