The practical design of constructing data transition interface with ZigBee WSN—Example with small-scaled wind-power electricity generator system

The purpose of this study was to explore the related practical techniques of monitoring and controlling system in designing renewable energy system, especially for small-scaled wind-power generator. Recently, the whole world was actively developing replaced energy to solve the economic development and daily-life necessities problems resulting from gradually lacking of oil. Taiwan government was progressively planning to develop small-scaled wind-power generators under authority of Energy Bureau of Economy Minister. The real-time running parameters of wind-power generator is very essential for designing the power-generating system, in this paper, a data transition system including how to construct ZigBee non-beacon-enable-network, communication techniques, data coding, and its interface for collecting running parameters in wind-power generator was designed with ZigBee wireless-sensor-networks (WSN) module. The final result of this study has successfully implemented in a practical small-scaled wind-power generator system which was part of integrated-project of Teaching Superior Projects authorized by Taiwan Education Minister-Constructing Monitoring and Controlling Interface in small-scaled wind-power generator system, and the validity and stability of the system has been proved efficient and successful.
