7 Remote monitoring
By default, all ENERCON wind energy converters are equipped with the ENERCON SCADA (Su‐
pervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system that connects them to Technical Service Dispatch.
Technical Service Dispatch can retrieve each wind energy converter’s operating data at any time
and instantly respond to any irregularities or malfunctions.
The ENERCON SCADA system also transmits all status messages to Technical Service Dispatch,
where they are permanently stored. This ensures that the practical experience gained through the
long-term operation of ENERCON wind energy converters is taken into account for their continued
development.
Connection of the individual wind energy converters is through a dedicated personal computer
(ENERCON SCADA Server), which is typically located in one of the wind farm wind energy con‐
verters or in the associated substation. There is one ENERCON SCADA Server in every wind
farm.
The ENERCON SCADA system, its properties and its operation are described in separate docu‐
mentation.
At the operator/owner’s request, monitoring of the wind energy converters can be performed by a
third party.
