Research on Offshore Wind Power Communication System Based on 5G Technology

Abstract

[Introduction] Numerous equipment of offshore wind power projects is located on the ocean, and the inconvenient transportation makes operation and maintenance difficult. It is extremely important for offshore equipment information to be delivered to land quickly, without delay, and safely. In view of the special needs of the communication system, a communication system scheme for offshore wind farms based on 5G technology is proposed. [Method] First, a PTN+ integrated small base station with large signal coverage and strong reliability was built, and then the 5G integrated small base station with the PTN gateway were integrated to achieve fast and convenient 5G signal coverage through broadband PTN access. The 5G network with specific bandwidth improved the security of the communication system. [Result] After the completion of the 5G communication system based on PTN+ integrated small base station, IP transmission based on optical transmission, supporting multiple services and using specific bandwidth can be realized. This system can help plan and sort out the wind turbine subsystems, realize all-round signal coverage inside the wind turbine, and can quickly and safely transmit the operation status and data of wind turbines, offshore booster stations and other equipment to the onshore operation and maintenance center. This system can solve the problem of difficult real-time secure transmission of wind turbine multi-subsystems and multi-services. [Conclusion] The 5G communication system research improves offshore wind power communication, and uses specific bandwidth and emerging technologies to realize the timeliness and reliability of communication in offshore wind farms and improve the communication efficiency of offshore operation and maintenance personnel in offshore wind farms. It meets the communication requirements of offshore equipment in offshore wind power projects and is expected to be applied in engineering.
