Networking of Distributed Sensors for Proactive Condition Monitoring of Wind Turbines

该项目致力于研究和演示能够对传感器阵列进行主动自动化控制和管理的技术，特别关注传感器阵列在风电场运营和管理中的应用。该研究将确定理想的主动行为，并提出新颖的自然启发算法来实现这些行为。它还将探索促进主动控制和管理软件的使用的机制，包括a）将使用高级用户目标来约束仪器级主动行为的策略驱动的管理基础设施，B）支持适当的观察、通信和致动的并行平台，以及c）轻量级、弹性对等无线通信架构。该项目将把这项研究的结果整合到一个大规模的示范中，用于在山顶风电场部署。

This project addresses the investigation and demonstration of techniques that enable proactive automated control and management of sensor arrays, focusing in particular on applications of sensor arrays in the operation and management of wind farms. The research will identify desirable proactive behaviours and propose novel nature-inspired algorithms to deliver them. It will also explore mechanisms that facilitate the use of proactive control and management software including a) a policy driven management infrastructure that will use high level user goals to constrain the instrument level proactive behaviours, b) a parallel platform that supports appropriate observation, communication and actuation, and c) a lightweight, resilient peer to peer wireless communications architecture. The project will integrate the results of this research into a large scale demonstration intended for deployment at a hilltop windfarm.
