Overview
The Core Real-Time Data is a Certified Product Point Template for Wind Turbines defines the standardized, minimum set of telemetry (e.g. time series points) Bazefield recommends for real-time monitoring of all wind turbines. These points ensure consistent data collection, improve interoperability across assets, and enable accurate reporting and analysis across your portfolio.
This point template provides a reliable baseline of real-time data expected from each Wind Turbine modeled in Bazefield. The purpose is to:
Ensure consistent naming and normalization of critical telemetry available on all makes and models of wind turbines
Streamline configuration for SCADA or historian data ingestion
Support cross-site and cross-technology data normalization
Template Definition
The Core Real-Time Data template contains standard data streams for turbine SCADA data. Details on the Point Names, Descriptions, and Types are below. The Core Real-TIme Data template specifically holds all the critical “raw” data expected from all wind turbine SCADA systems. For wind turbines, the core-real time data points are often provided directly from an OPC server provided by the OEM of the wind turbine.
Minimum Requirements
In most modern wind turbines, there will be a significant number points available beyond this list which are vendor or SCADA specific. This list represents the minimum, common list of critical data often available in ALL vendors and SCADA systems. Many of the points below are used directly in Bazefield core functionality, or core performance calculations.
Required for Bazefield Core Dashboard functionality
Optional for common additional data streams/sources
