In recent years

digital smart wind farm has become a hot spot in the development of wind power

and the related technologies have also become the focus of research and development in the industry. Combining with the development experience

this paper analyzes the seven characteristics of smart wind farms

such as the intelligent monitoring and sensing of equipment state

data intelligent analysis

intelligent evaluation of equipment status

intelligent diagnosis and early warning of equipment failure

precise prediction of wind resources and intelligent regulation of fan power

intelligent operation/maintenance and visual intelligent inspection

and intelligent decisionmaking. It summarizes the problems faced in current construction process of smart wind farm

including equipment

data

technology

management and other aspects. Moreover

it provides the countermeasures

and also proposes the suggestions for planning of smart wind farms

which can provide help and reference for the planning and construction of digital smart wind farms.
