Introduction:

Wind Energy SCADA refers to the digital systems used to supervise, monitor, and control wind turbines and wind farms from centralized control environments. These systems connect turbines, substations, meteorological stations, and grid interfaces into one operational platform to ensure stable power generation, equipment protection, and reliable grid interaction. The training program presents the operational structure of SCADA in wind farms, focusing on system components, control functions, communication networks, and performance monitoring used in modern renewable energy facilities.
