An ION enterprise energy management system from Power Measurement is monitoring electricity production at Airtricity's Corneen wind park in Ireland.
Located on the Slieve Rushen Mountain in County Cavan, the site's two 1.5MW wind turbines produce 3MW of clean electricity for the Irish electricity grid, enough power to serve approximately 2,000 households.
Each turbine is equipped with an intelligent energy meter, which reports back to a PC workstation running Power Measurement's ION Enterprise software at the Airtricity headquarters in Dublin. According to Eddie O'Connor, chief executive of Airtricity, the energy management system performs three primary functions: Advanced power quality analysis, condition monitoring and revenue-certified energy metering.
