SCADA for wind turbines the OEM no longer supports.
Older turbines still earn. Rook SCADA connects to the controller already in the machine, so legacy makes keep their monitoring, alarms and reports — on the same screen as your newer fleet.
What is third-party SCADA for legacy wind turbines?
Third-party SCADA for legacy wind turbines is a monitoring and control system supplied by an independent company rather than the turbine manufacturer. It reads data from the turbine’s existing controller and keeps the machine visible and controllable after the OEM’s own SCADA, portal or support is no longer available.
India’s wind fleet includes many turbines installed in the 1990s and 2000s. Some of those manufacturers have since merged, exited the market or stopped supporting older models, leaving owners without a working SCADA for machines that still generate.
Rook has connected turbines over the mobile network since 2006, and its supported OEMs include older makes such as NEG Micon, WinWinD, Pioneer Wincon, NEPC, RRB Energy and CWEL alongside current models.
Everything a modern fleet gets, for your older turbines
Age of the machine does not decide how well you can see it.
-
01
Live data again
Power, wind speed, status and faults from each turbine, streamed to a web dashboard. See real-time monitoring.
-
02
Faults that reach someone
Alarms are prioritised and sent to the right person, then tracked until acknowledged. See alarms and warnings.
-
03
Remote start and stop
Authorised users send commands from the dashboard instead of driving to site. See remote control.
-
04
Reports you can compare
Generation, availability and losses calculated the same way as your newer machines. See reports and charts.
-
05
SLDC data continues
Older turbines still share real-time data with the state SLDC. See SLDC data aggregation.
-
06
One fleet, one screen
Legacy and current OEMs sit side by side under one login, with hierarchical access.
How we bring a legacy turbine back online
Every retrofit starts with a site survey, not a catalogue.
-
01
Understand
We survey the turbines: make, model, controller, site infrastructure, connectivity and your state’s SLDC requirements.
-
02
Engineer
We map the controller’s data points and commands into Rook SCADA.
-
03
Integrate
We install a Rook RTU at each turbine and connect it over SIM or fibre.
-
04
Support
Continuous support with a 1-year warranty, plus extended warranty and AMC options. Rook manages SIM renewals and server infrastructure.
Legacy Turbine SCADA: common questions
Yes. Rook SCADA connects to the controller already in the turbine through a Rook RTU, so it does not depend on the OEM’s own SCADA or portal. Supported older makes include NEG Micon, WinWinD, Pioneer Wincon, NEPC, RRB Energy and CWEL.
No. Rook works with the existing controller. The Rook RTU reads its data and passes commands to it.
Yes. Rook SCADA shows turbines from different OEMs, models and capacities on one webpage, with the same alarms, controls and reports for each.
Talk to us. Every deployment starts with a survey of your turbines, controllers and connectivity, and we will confirm what is possible before any work begins.
A 1-year warranty, with extended warranty and AMC available. Rook also manages SIM renewals, server infrastructure and the communication architecture.
