Several Vestas wind turbines are at the moment monitored through outdated SCADA solutions that are about to expire. With Orbital’s new solution, the wind turbines get connected to OrbiSCADA, a future-proof platform that helps to ensure uptime, production, and earnings.
The SCADA system is updated every second with data from various parameters.
Production and wind speed
Rotor and generator RPM
E-mail notifications
Data is saved every minute to maintain a historical overview of each wind turbine.
Detailed graphs
Weekly reports
Activity log
You are able to remotely control your wind turbine directly from your smart phone, tablet or computer.

The gateway solution consists of a hardware kit with a future-proof 4G modem, SIM card, antenna, cables, and power supply. The hardware is mounted in the wind turbine’s control cabinet by the service provider or the wind turbine owner with support from Orbital.
The wind turbine then connects to OrbiSCADA, and the users log in from a smartphone, tablet, and computer. The annual license includes up to 3 users so wind turbine owners, service companies, and a third party can access the wind turbine.
When the Orbital hardware kit is installed in the control cabinet, an OrbiSCADA license for the wind turbine will be created. The license is yearly and data usage is included.
In addition to the fact that users can log in and follow, OrbiSCADA also makes sends an e-mail if an error occurs or the connection is lost. Thus, users are immediately made aware and in some cases, it is possible to correct errors through the system to avoid a service visit at the site.
