Observability and controllability of decentralised production

The characteristics of decentralised wind farm power generation and the difficulties associated in predicting output require the network managers to benefit from the best data for real-time management, to allow for forward-looking studies and to ensure the safety of the French electrical system. RTE and ERDF have worked together to find a solution that makes the information from the various sites available to the experimental platform. In a second step, the solution consists of substituting the experimental platform for a SCADA industrial product, offering a great interoperability with RTE´s controlling and management tools and the environments such as the producers´ control centres.
