RTI Selected for Wind Energy Plant Design by Siemens

Siemens Energy deploys wind power solutions in a wide range of environments where network services vary — from LAN (local area network) to broadband to satellite communications. RTI’s support for a variety of underlying network transports ensures that wind turbines can intelligently integrate with multiple networks and IT infrastructure to achieve the highest possible performance, control and business systems integration. Also, system of systems scalability can continue to grow while performance is maintained as more wind power is generated for the grid. RTI’s peer-to-peer communication sets the standard in performance and resilience.

RTI’s messaging software can monitor and control wind farm arrays with up to 500 wind turbines. RTI’s real-time messaging and quality of service (QoS) characteristics enable Siemens to manage turbulence through the wind farm so that performance and wear is uniform in such a highly distributed operational environment. Additionally, RTI’s ability to integrate smoothly with other systems, including business enterprise applications, will allow Siemens to remotely monitor and troubleshoot the wind farm’s operations.

"The ability to maximize efficiency and quickly detect and avoid maintenance problems can make or break a business," said Curt Schacker, chief commercial officer at RTI. "With RTI, our clients can massively scale their wind turbine software infrastructure by reliably integrating multiple networks and subsystems."

RTI is the world leader in delivering fast, scalable, communications software that addresses the challenges of building and integrating real-time operational systems. RTI Connext solutions meet the needs of enterprise-wide integration — from the operational edge to the enterprise data center. The RTI standards-based software infrastructure improves the efficiency of operational systems while facilitating better decisions, actions and outcomes for the business enterprise.

For over ten years, RTI has delivered industry-leading products and solutions for customers in markets ranging from Aerospace & Defense, Process Automation, Financial Services, Energy, Automotive, Health Sciences and Transportation Management.

Founded in 1991, RTI is privately held and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.
