Advanced Wind Turbine Controller, AWC series
Engineered-to-application The AWC series of controllers forms the hardware platform for pitch and main control solutions engineered to your application. Being engineered to your specic type of wind turbine, the AWC series is your guarantee of an optimised solution. DEIF possesses decades of accumulated know-how about the entire wind turbine and its control systems this knowhow is all utilised to customise the solutions to a perfect t. The AWC series offers distributed solutions providing maximum reliability at minimum cost. Placed near sensors and transmitters, an AWC reduces cabling, the risk of errors as well as the need for man hours during installation. Open software development with Linux, C/C++, IEC61131-3 and MATLAB/Simulink The AWC solutions are both ANSI C/C++ and IEC 61131-3 programmable and therefore very exible. This means that you are free to either carry out programming and later optimisation on your own or leave it to us. For C/C++ programming DEIF has tailored an Eclipse based development package and compiler toolchain providing one click from project to running programme on the controller. You can choose to build your application based on DEIFs proven wind turbine application software, handling control and monitoring of main turbine components such as safety system, grid connection, electrical or hydraulic pitch system etc. The development package is compliant with Garrad Hassans control strategy. IEC61131-3 programming in Structured Text, function block diagram, etc., is supported on the AWC series controllers with the well-known CoDeSys PLC programming environment. DEIF integrates the entire HMI and PLC conguration in this open environment, making it straightforward to build a wind turbine application on the AWC series controllers. At DEIF Wind Power Technology, we use model-based design and simulation with MathWorks MATLAB/Simulink as the foundation for developing and optimising our control strategy
Model-based design of the wind turbine control system results in huge savings and better solutions.
The AWC platform is designed to withstand electrical and mechanical stress along with extreme temperatures.
PLC Link Translate Simulink models and Stateow charts automatically into C code, IEC 61131-3 code as Structured Text Generate Garrad Hassan Bladed and FLEX5 compliant .dll les Build stand-alone applications and download directly to an AWC or a PLC or generate code for implementation into existing projects Perform software-in-the-loop and PLC-in-the-loop testing Tune your system by updating parameters online using Simulink or MATLAB command prompts Support blocks using the standard Simulink library Generate code from embedded MATLAB blocks Include custom IEC 61131-3 PLC code in the code generation process
PLC Link auto-generates CoDeSys IEC61131-3 compliant code from MathWorks MATLAB/ Simulink. This provides huge man hour savings and eliminates the risk of human errors.

algorithms, so that they perfectly match each individual wind turbine design. We use our inhouse developed PLC Link software tool to translate a wind turbine control strategy design into C code and IEC61131-3 code (Structured Text) ready for integration with the surrounding wind turbine application software. The auto-generated code is awless, eliminating the risk of human errors. At the same time, it is extremely fast compared to human programming potentially cutting months off the duration of your project. In the same workflow an additional toolchain generates a Garrad Hassan Bladed and FLEX5 compliant controller .dll le for wind turbine load verication. Thanks to the developer tools available choosing the AWC platform minimises the time span from we agree on the specication to your solution is ready. Flexible and reliable hardware Based on a modular rack concept, the AWC series provides compact, exible and servicefriendly solutions right from simple plug-and-play rack modules to cabling tted with pluggable connectors. The AWC series is designed and constructed to meet the strict requirements for maritime use which exceed industrial norms by far. The maritime norms prescribe increased performance on several parameters such as EMC, vibration and shock resistance, temperature spanning, etc. On some parameters, the AWC series even exceeds the requirements from classication societies. For instance, the AWC 500 operates from -40 to +70C and can be stored from -40 to +85C. The durability of the hardware is verified by HALT testing (Highly Accelerated Life Test) the construction is designed for a lifetime of no less than 20 years. In other words, choosing the AWC platform equals choosing a hassle-free solution with a minimum of downtime.
AWC 500.
Perfect for multi-MW turbines Flexible Hardware congurations and system interfaces makes the AWC 500 a perfect solution for multi MW wind turbines combining fast communication interfaces with extended operating temperatures. The integrated Grid Protection Module (GPM) optimises through minimum measurement delay the LVRT capability of the wind turbine.

Founded in 1933, DEIF offers our customers decades of accumulated know-how. Given the long history, our customers can trust DEIF to be a safe choice we were here more than 75 years ago and we intend to stay. The acquisition of the company West Control in 2004 was an important addition to the existing pool of knowhow at DEIF. At the time of the acquisition, West Control had been supplying dedicated control solutions for wind turbines since 1988. The know-how of West Control was not limited to the control systems, but comprised the entire wind turbine. Today, DEIF consists of two business divisions. DEIF Wind Power Technology develops/customises dedicated control systems to individual applications. The sister division, DEIF Power & Marine, supplies customised and standard power management systems, gen-set controls, switchboard instrumentation and marine bridge instrumentation. DEIF is present worldwide through subsidiaries and distributors.
