Sinsegye supports the grid connection of large megawatt wind turbines at Gansu Wuwei Wind Farm!
With the integration of wind turbines into the grid for power generation, relying on the core technological advantages of "integrated control and computation" and "software defined technologies", Sinsegye has successfully achieved batch replacement of imported brands in key areas of wind turbine control systems for the first time.
On the vast Gobi Desert in Wuwei, Gansu, the cold northwest wind howls year-round. It used to be an obstacle to development, but now it is a precious resource - towering giant wind turbines stand tall, with huge blades capturing the energy of the wind with unprecedented efficiency. Recently, this wind farm has achieved a significant milestone: the mass application of the main control system based on Sinegye's domestically produced iComputers and IO products.
1、 The urgent need to break through the localization situation
Wind power, as the main force in achieving the "dual carbon" goal, has developed rapidly in China in recent years. As of the end of 2024, the installed capacity of wind power in China has exceeded 520 million kilowatts, firmly ranking as the third largest power source. However, in the core field of the wind turbine "brain" - the main control system, foreign control systems still dominate, facing execution efficiency, support and maintenance, and the most critical "autonomous and controllable" risks. Especially in wind fields with harsh environments such as high altitude, severe winter temperatures, and strong sandstorms, it poses ultimate challenges to the stability, adaptability, continuous maintenance capability, and intelligence level of the control system.
Faced with the urgent needs of wind power customers for domestic substitution, efficiency improvement, and reliability enhancement, the Sinsegy team bravely faced the wind and successfully passed the layers of assessment and verification in the laboratory and wind farm. With independently developed "hardcore" equipment - SX51 series iComputer and SRC series IO modules, they went deep into the front line of Wuwei wind farm.
2、 IComputer: Fearless of strictness, integrated computing and control, stable and efficient
At the bottom of the wind turbine tower, or in the grid cabinet, as well as at the narrow top of the tower, the figures of Sinsegy's engineers are all nervously deployed and debugged. The 'secret weapon' in their hands is a solution tailored to the harsh working conditions of the energy industry:
Engineers deploy and debug equipment
01. Core Brain - SX51 Series iComputer
- Durable and reliable: Fearless of severe winter temperatures (-40 ℃) and high summer temperatures (60 ℃), it can still operate stably in high-altitude areas ranging from 0-4000 meters. Its strong anti vibration ability (meeting the GB/T2423 standard) ensures unwavering stability under wind turbine vibration.
- Exquisite and powerful: The compact modular design of only 130 * 100 * 90mm saves valuable space; Rich interfaces and powerful expansion capabilities make it easy to connect various devices and meet complex control needs.

02. Sensitive nerves - SRC series IO module
- Fast response: The backplane adopts a high-speed S-Link bus with a scanning cycle as low as 1ms, ensuring accurate and fast transmission of key control signals.
- Robust and anti-interference: design and test in strict accordance with IEC 61131-2/GBT 15969-2 standard, excellent electromagnetic compatibility, and stability in the complex electromagnetic environment of the wind farm.
- Precision CNC: It not only provides conventional IO, but also includes high-speed frequency measurement modules, power measurement modules, temperature acquisition modules optimized for the energy industry. It accurately monitors key parameters such as voltage, current, and power, providing a solid data foundation for efficient operation and predictive maintenance of wind turbines.

03. Dual Domain Intelligence - MetaOS Dual Domain Operating System
On the AI machine, it is MetaOS, a dual domain operating system independently developed by Sinsegye. This system is like injecting a "Hybrid Kernel" into the wind turbine controller:
- Real time domain, hardcore control guarantee
Based on real-time kernel, it provides a hard real-time running environment, virtualization, priority preemption, interrupt management, ensuring high precision and absolute certainty of periodic core control logic. The real-time CAN driver and network card driver ensure the real-time reliability of critical bus communication.
- Non real time domain, computational and intelligent empowerment
Relying on the Linux kernel, it can handle complex tasks such as edge computing and intelligent applications. Based on the rich tool chain of MetaOS, wind power engineers can efficiently develop and transplant wind power related applications. The implementation of intelligent monitoring, diagnosis, and predictive maintenance for wind turbines effectively reduces the risk of unplanned shutdowns, improves power generation efficiency, and brings further application value.
4、Advantages of the Sinsegye wind power solution: Integrated Control and Computation, Open and Easy to Use, Cost Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement, Autonomous and Controllable
The main control system solution provided by Sinsegye for wind power customers has achieved multiple breakthroughs:
- Safe and controllable, hardware isolation: from the main hardware to the operating system core, breaking foreign monopolies and ensuring national energy security. Hardware level dual domain isolation, non real time applications and real-time control are isolated at the bottom layer without interfering with each other.
- Software Defined, Open and Easy to Use: Based on an open PC architecture, the system is endowed with unprecedented flexibility and scalability through software definition, meeting customers' future upgrade and customization needs.
- Fearless of strictness and as stable as mountains: with wide temperature range, high altitude, strong anti vibration, and high anti-interference design, it perfectly adapts to extreme wind environments and ensures long-term stable operation of wind turbines.
- Integrated Control and Computation， Efficiency leap: The dual domain operating system achieves a perfect integration of logic control and intelligent computing, simplifying complexity and integrating industrial computers and controllers for more accurate real-time control. Application porting and development are also simpler and easier to use.
Sinsegy has equipped wind turbines with the core driving force of "Made in China" through innovative iComputer technology and dual domain operating systems. Setting sail, in the blue ocean of energy transformation, Sinsegy will continue to use hardcore technology to help China's wind power industry ride the waves and sail towards a more independent, efficient, and intelligent future!
