Abstract

In order to improve a decentralized control and data recording unit (2) (SCADA unit) for installation in decentralized energy resources (DER), in particular, wind turbine units, and/or for decentralized use at the site of a decentralized energy resource (DER), in particular a wind turbine unit, wherein this control and data recording unit comprises a control unit, in particular a turbine control unit (11), for controlling the decentralized energy resources (DER), in particular wind turbines, a database (10) for storing operating data and/or operating parameters, and also a network communications interface (13) for exchanging data and/or control commands with external units (1, 14, 15, 29) via an external network (7), so that this control and data recording unit can be better integrated into the business processes of stakeholders and have the capability of flexibly adapting to different systems, changing customer wishes, and also changing hardware, it is proposed that said unit have a SCADA operating system kernel (9) for controlling and/or managing the turbine control unit (11), the database (10), and the communications unit (13).
