Okay, I have an associates in applied science for wind power generation and I can't understand why wind turbines would need satellite coms to operate. Probably some stupid German idea. I guess they'll take anything and make it more complicated for no reason.
I would want something that doesn't get knocked out by a solar storm and if it did the redundant backup would decouple from the coms and go under local control, monitoring frequency and voltage at the tie in substation.
I would be trying to use over the wire coms, where the signal goes over the transmission lines and I know Germany was using this technology at one point for Internet.
