Core Insights - The article highlights the successful implementation of China's first unmanned wind farm, the Sanxia Energy Ningxia Tongli Third Wind Farm, which has transitioned to a fully intelligent operation model since April 2023 [1][3]. Group 1: Management Model Transformation - Traditional wind farm operations have faced challenges such as high personnel dependency, safety risks, and low operational efficiency, necessitating a shift to intelligent operations [2][3]. - The Tongli Third Wind Farm has achieved significant operational improvements, reducing inspection time from two weeks to one week through the use of drones for routine inspections [2][3]. - The new operational model integrates data collection, analysis, decision-making, and feedback into a complete closed-loop process, enhancing management efficiency [3]. Group 2: Technological Framework - The wind farm employs a "cloud-edge-end" architecture, where the "cloud" serves as the central brain for data analysis and decision-making, the "edge" manages local operations, and the "end" consists of on-site sensors and drones [5][6]. - This architecture addresses the core pain point of traditional operations by converting engineers' experiences into transferable knowledge assets, allowing for the replication of effective practices across different sites [6][8]. Group 3: Industry Standards and Future Directions - The Sanxia Energy has initiated the publication of the first industry white paper on intelligent station construction, outlining the transition needs, system architecture, core technologies, and implementation pathways for the industry [7]. - The promotion of this white paper aims to standardize the construction and application of intelligent wind farms, facilitating a shift from scale expansion to quality improvement in the renewable energy sector [7][8]. - Future wind farm management is expected to evolve from a decentralized to a centralized model, optimizing resources across multiple sites [8].
