Abstract
A wind park network system is provided. The network system has a first and a second networks, a first and a second wind turbines representing a first and a second network elements, a first central unit and a second central unit for transmitting messages within the first and the second networks respectively. The first and the second wind turbines are connected to the first and the second central units within the first and the second networks respectively. The first and the second central units are connected. The first and the second networks are in a star topology and operate independently from each other such that a redundant network topology for the first and the second networks is realized.
