Advances in Simulating a KNX Communication for a Low Power Wind Turbine Under Severe Climate Conditions

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to present the thesis plan proposal and its advances in particular, the progress and problems found in the communication following the KNX Power Line Communication protocol, between a low power wind turbine and a control center located in an isolated área in South Patagonia, given the severe climate condicions preseted in this area, with snow acumulation, hoarfrost and strong winds capable of damaging structures. The simulation in presented using Marlab software, finding problems using rhe high frequency modulation requiered in KNX Power Line Communication protocol, in particular, considering rate errors in modulation and demodulation.
