Wind farm fiber optic communication interruption

Home / Wind farm fiber optic communication interruption

Wind farm optical fibre cables can result in serious defects and loss of communication if damaged. Wind energy communication forms the technical backbone of successful onshore wind farms and enables optimal energy yield through intelligent control and continuous monitoring. Damage can occur on these cables as sometimes they are buried directly into the ground, without any protection (reinforcement or sheath). Power generation by wind turbine generators, or WTGs, is a proven green energy technology in both land and offshore environments. If you have worked on a wind farm, you know that alongside the medium voltage power cables running from each turbine to the substation.
