Design of a digital telemetry data collection system
Collecting load data from rotating wind system components is often an integral part of research and development performed at the Department of Energy's Wind Energy Research Center (WERC) at Rocky Flats, Colorado. In order to avoid problems commonly encountered with conventional methods of data collection (i.e., signal noise caused by sliprings and the high cost of multi-channel telemetry systems), a unique digital telemetry system was designed using off-the-shelf components. This flexible system not only has reduced size and cost, when compared to a previously used telemetry system, but has also proved to be very accurate in actual application. The purpose of this report is to discuss the design and operation of this system, as well as the rationale for its use.
