With its wind power division, WestfalenWIND is taking on one of the greatest challenges of our time: the energy transition. And it is succeeding: In the Paderborn district, the company already covers 100 percent of its electrical energy requirements from renewable sources. Flexible systems are a key aspect, and that is where WestfalenWIND relies on SIMATIC WinCC OA from Siemens.
WestfalenWIND is an industry multi-talent: The company maintains wind farms in eastern Westphalia, operates green data centers directly in the concrete pipes of the wind turbines, and maintains its own turbines. All these individual items come together in a central control room and must be able to be managed securely. Any changes, additions or removals must be made during operation and must be capable of being carried out by WestfalenWIND employees themselves. This requires a solution that is characterized by openness, flexibility, and future-proofing. Like WinCC Open Architecture.
