SELECTION OF POWER LINE COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL APPLIED TO A WIND TURBINE UNDER SEVERE CLIMATE CONDITIONS

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to study the preliminary selection of one or more Power Line Communications protocols or standards, to be used in a full duplex communication between a wind turbine and a command center powered by this wind turbine. This situation considers that the wind turbine is located in an isolated area in the Patagonia Austral region, working under severe climate conditions.
