AES Wind Generation implemented ICONICS GENESIS64 and Hyper Historian to monitor and control 49 Mitsubishi turbines at the Mountain View IV project. The system aggregates real-time and historical data from OPC sources including Modbus and CNET protocols, enabling centralized web-based access without client software installs. Global aliasing reduced configuration time across identical turbines while supporting in-house maintenance and VM deployment.

Key takeaways

GENESIS64 and Hyper Historian provided SCADA and historian functions for 49 wind turbines using OPC connectivity

Global aliasing enabled rapid replication of turbine configurations across identical units

Web-based HMI eliminated client software installation and simplified access control

System supports independent updates to turbine logic and monitoring layers without third-party changes

Hyper Historian stores turbine, meteorological, and substation data for reporting and availability tracking
