Abstract Aim at meeting the requirements of the wind power generation monitoring system, this thesis describes a system which builds up a wireless, real-time, multi-object remote monitoring system of the wind power generation. The hardware part of the monitoring system integrates MSP430F169 with CC2520 and CC2591, and the software part is implemented by TinyOS embedded operating system programming. The wireless remote monitoring system is depending on the WSN. There are many merits, which the wired network doesn’t have, in the WSN. This design has established the communication between the monitoring terminal and the monitoring center.

1.Introduction The development and using of the renewable energy source can effectively alleviate the predicament of the supply of energy and the change of climatic. The wind energy is regarded as new energy which has the broadest prospect of development and using. As the developing of the technology, the efficiency of economic and environment is more and more remarkable. The government of china takes seriously to the wind power generation. At present in china, most of the wind power generation’s monitoring systems take the wired method as the foundation. And the majority systems which were already applied in the power station and the content of research is too unitary. But the wired method has many flaw. In this article has invented a set wind power generation observation system takes the wireless sensor networking as the foundation. During various nodes in this system selects the wireless communication method to carry on the data to lose, could effectively solve many difficult problems by the wired way in observation system [1].

2.Overall System Design
2.1The choice of substation monitoring object After investigation, we discover that the overall system needs to monitor dozens of kind of data. But so many data can divide into two kind, they are the analog signal and the digital signal. Therefore we only need to complete the analog signal and digital signal gathering and the data transmission in this data acquisition transmission system. 2.2.The structure of system and the function of component The system involves three field, they are the wind field, the monitoring room and the middle region between the wind field and the monitoring and control room. The overall system is distributed in the above three different regions. The first is the parameter gathering node located at the wind field interior is responsible for gathering each kind of parameter. The second is located at between the wind field and the monitoring room it is the relaying node is responsible for the information relay transmission. The third is the monitoring room node, it is located at the wind field’s “monitoring room” or neighbor, is responsible to relays the data which is the relaying node transmits to the control room node. This node will receive and compile data, send the data to the far-end control room through satellite, optical fiber, GSM or GPRS and so on. The overall composition of the system is shown in Fig1 [2].
Figure 1. The overall composition of the system
2.3. Program of system networking According to the requirements of the business data quantity, data transmission delay, reliability requirements, data privacy, network conditions. Far-end monitoring center establishes a fixed connection with the monitoring room. The monitoring terminal will login a wireless channel in the WSN when it comes to communicating and initiates a connection with the monitoring room node. And all nodes in the monitoring region, the relaying node and the monitoring node will compose a huge wireless network. There are many operations in this system, these operations realize through the procedure.

3.The Hardware Design of the Monitoring System
3.1.The hardware design of node power In the system, the request of radiofrequency component for the power is quite high. Here uses the low dropout regulator , it has many characteristics such as the low cost, small seal, few periphery component and low noise and so on. The typical LDO chip is TPS780330220 which produces by TI. So we use it to construct the power chip. Because its peripheral circuit is very simple, did not need to introduce it [2]. 3.2.Microprocessor's choice The microprocessor uses MSP430F169. Its power loss is very low, has rich the peripheral device in chip. Its peripheral circuit is very simple [3]. 3.3.The hardware design of communication module
